India world's strongest cricket team: Wasim Akram

Former Pakistan cricketer Wasim Akram feels that India have emerged as the strongest team in world cricket. Akram also rated pace spearhead Zaheer Khan as the best bowler in the cricket world.

"India have won against Australia at home and away, and beaten England and South Africa," the Gulf News quoted Akram as saying. "I will admit that South Africa are the best only if they do well in India during their tour," he said

Test 2: India mounting pressure on Australia

On day two of the second Test between Indian and Australia, India has clearly been the winner. On Mohali's ground for pacers, Australia was struggling at 102 for the loss of four wickets. Australia has already lost their stars like Ponting and Hussey.

Earlier, India had an excellent performnace by its batsmen. Controversial Ganguly completed his 16th century in 111st Test. Dhoni just missed his hundreds when he got out for 92 playing to Siddle. India was comfortably sitting with a lead of 380 runs at the end of day two.

Gibbs finds form but England in command

Herschelle Gibbs returned to form with a hard-hitting 74 from 75 balls, and Hashim Amla scored one of the most fluent 34s you could ever hope to see, but England were once again able to exploit the soft underbelly of South Africa's batting, thanks to a three-wicket haul from Andrew Flintoff and a lacklustre display from an inexperienced lower-order.

ODI2: Indian Pacers Bowls Fire, Zaheer Khan sizzles with 4 wickets

Welcome to 2nd ODI between India and Sri Lanka, played in Sri Lanka at  Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium. 

Indian captain MS Dhoni won the toss and elected to bowl. India was compel to replace stiff necked Gambhir, an specialist opener and Ozha, a spinner. Badrinath debuts due to the changes.

India started on an excellent note with CK Kapugedera falling in the very second over claimed by Zaheer Khan and two maiden overs in the begining itself. It did not stop there, Zaheer Khan went on to claim Jayawardene and Kapugedera in his third over and then Pravin Kumar claiming LPC Silva. Sri Lanka threw away there batsmen one after the other in the first seven overs itself. At the end of sevent over Sri Lanka were had scored pitiable 11 after loosing four quick wickets.

Khan has been sizzling with his pace, claiming quick three wickets in three overs. He claimed prize wicket of ST Jayasuriya star of 1st ODI.

SL had scored a paltry score of 38 after loosing 5 precious wickets after 15 overs.

The ODIs at SL are becoming boring. SL lost another wicket for just 45 / 6 after 18 overs. I am wonderingif they would be able to score 100 or may be 75. I think, there is something the wicket that favors the fielding team first. Exactly this is what happened in first ODI, where the victim was Indian team.

I wondering, at this pace, if SL would be able to last 30 overs.
