When Gavaskar finds out that there has been released, a movie, in Australia called "Gavaskar", he is very happy. He plans to watch it and gets a ticket for Australia at once.
With great difficulty he manages to get a ticket and very happily he goes to see the movie. But when he comes out of the cinema he is very angry!

He goes straight to the director of the movie and says, "What do you mean by this? You named your movie 'Gavaskar', but didn't show anything about me in it!"
The director of the movie laughs and says, "So now you understand the problem? You people too made a movie called 'Border', but did you show anything about Allan Border in it?"

The village club was burdened with a big-headed skipper. Although a below average player, he considered himself the best in the side. They were up against tough opposition and as they walked out he said,

"Right. I'll open the bowling from the pavilion end."

"That's right, skipper," said the fast bowler. "You bowl 'em in - then I'll come on bowl 'em out."

The poor slip

A slip fieldsman had a particularly depressing day during which he dropped no less than ten catches all off the same bowler. After the game he was talking to the bowler when he broke off and looked at his watch. "I must go," he said, "I have a train to catch." The bowler looked at him bitterly. "Let's hope you have better luck with that, then."

New Rules for Indian Cricket

2008-09-20T10:12:00.000-07:00

1) Declaring the winner: If Pakistan bats first and scores x runs then
the target for India will be revised to x/2. They need to score (x/2)+1
runs to be declared winner. If India bats first then the number of overs
for Pakistan will be reduced to 25. Even after these modifications India
contrive to lose, they will be awarded psychological victory.

2) Fielding restrictions: When India is fielding, as soon as any fielder
touches the ball, it will be deemed as dead ball and Pakistan batsmen
will only be allowed to complete that run. This modification is being
done to eliminate time being wasted for overthrows etc.

3) By popular demand from Indian players, a few additional coaches have
been included in the touring party with immediate effect. They are,
Batting coach : Ravi Shastri
Bowling Coach(with experience in Sharjah conditions) : Chetan
Sharma
Fielding Coach : Ravi Shastri(Dual responsibility)
TV Commercials Coach : Salman Khan
Video Coach : Name will be announced later

4) As the deadline to submit final 15 players for the 1999 World Cup is
over, the result of the match on 18th April between 1983 Indian team and
the current team will not have any bearing on the team going to England.

Any other suggestions are welcome. We at the ICC would like to
ascertain again our commitment to spread the game of cricket globally,
from Mozambique to Maldives and from Turkmenistan to Tibet.

Thanking You.
Yours Sincerely,
Jagmohan Dalmiya

Twenty-Twenty World Cup Post Match Presentation

2008-09-20T10:08:00.000-07:00

In the Twenty-Twenty World Cup, post match presentation....

Ravi Shastri to Dhoni : "Congratulations to you and the whole Indian team for winning this world cup. You guys have produced a great nail baiting show.. and deserves the cup. We welcome you to share the joy with us."

Dhoni : "Thanks Ravi, the match was pretty close encounter between two great teams and our guys held the nerve to win the game and cup."

Shastri: "Who was the main reason for this thrilling victory?"

Dhoni: "All of us played well but I would say the main reason and man behind this great victory is Ajit Agarkar"

Shocked Shastri: "Agarkar ? ? .. how come Agarkar... he didn't play in the final"..

Dhoni: "Yeah.. that's the reason we won this low scoring match.. if he could have bowled in final, Pakistan would have scored the winning runs from his 4 overs...."

Shastri: "ok.. fine, To whom you want to thank for winning this final..."

Dhoni: "The team doctor deserves the credit... he really helped us to prepare for the final..."

Shastri: "Is it? ?.... how the doctor helped to prepare for the final... he is not the coach or physical trainer...Dhoni. . I am getting confused!"

Dhoni: "Ravi... nothing to get confused... he has failed Sehwag in the fitness test and so we managed to pick a good playing team.. thus we weigh the doctor's contribution as very high... infact its better than our team effort in the field.. our game tactic worked well"

Shastri: "To whom you want to dedicate this World Cup?"

Dhoni: "The entire team including myself wants to dedicate this cup to Sachin, Dravid and Ganguly..."

Shastri: "I really really appreciate you... its good that you have so much respect for the seniors....and you ...."

Dhoni interrupts: .. "Ravi.. let me complete... India would have exited in the Group matches if they decided to play in the series... thank god they opted out and we managed to play cricket and won the cup.."

Shastri: "The match was thrilling encounter and was concluded by a single mistake of Misbah.. Isn't it? "

Dhoni: "Yes you are right, after lofting the ball Misbah told me that he has send the ball to where there was no one....but he didn't know that there is a malayali in every corner of the world.... This single mistake has costed the game and won the cup..." Shastri faints and Dhoni receives the CUP.

The quantum mechanics of cricket

2008-09-12T07:35:00.000-07:00

A must read for all cricket lovers with science background :-).
A good article from Joe Wolfe (School of Physics, University of New South Wales)

The diagram at below shows how a batsman leaves a parallel slit (width a = 180 mm) between bat and pad, through which a cricket ball with momentum p can diffract. On 23 October, 1999, Australian captain Steve ('Tugga') Waugh, perhaps because of his intuitive knowledge of quantum mechanics, appears to have set the field at maxima in |Y²|, where Y is the wave function of the cricket ball, as is shown in the photograph below. Showing all reasoning and calculation, determine

1) whom he should ask to bowl, and

We also answer one classical question about cricket ball motion.

The small angle approximation is a bit crude for the angular spacing Dq, but will suffice for this approximate analysis, so

l.Da

where Da is the spacing between maxima of |Y²|. Inspection of the graph above shows that, except for the wicket keeper, this spacing is approximately the same as the spacing of the subsidiary minima in |Y²|, which requires a phase difference of p. So

where l is the wavelength of the cricket ball. This is given by the de Broglie equation l = h/p, where h is Planck's constant. With the exception of some anecdotal claims concerning Jeff Thomson, who retired before the introduction of regular bowling speed measurements, the speed is non-relativistic, so p = mv is a good approximation. Substitution gives

Substitution gives a speed of 3 x 10^-30 ms^-1. This is rather slow: indeed it is less than one atomic radius per age of the universe. So, to answer question (1): We strongly suspect that no-one can bowl this slowly at ordinary temperatures, but if one is looking for improbable feats from a slow bowler, it is likely to be Shane Warne.

We return now to question (2) about the fate of the batsman. Is he

In fact, given that the sun will have gone out (not down, but out) in the 2 x 10²⁴ years that the ball takes to reach him, we expect that an appeal against the light will be successful.

For cricket lovers: the bowler was Damien Flemming. The batsman was David Mutandera of Zimbabwe. This is believed to be the first time in cricket history such a field has been employed in an international one day match. Zimbabwe were all out for 116 runs in the second one day international at the Harare Sports Club, 23 October 1999.

Just in case: Newtonian mechanics (including the fluid mechanics of the air) is completely adequate to describe the behaviour of cricket balls, although the existence, stability and chemical properties of the atoms and molecules of which they are made are all determined by quantum mechanics. So yes, the whole page above is a joke, whose original purpose was both to amuse first year physics students and to demonstrate the very small size of quantum mechanical effects in the familiar, macroscopic world. The Brownian motion of the cricket ball (its irregular, random motion due to its collisions with molecules of air) is typically ten billion times greater than the velocity calculated above. The disturbance of quantum mechanical effects such as particle interference by random thermal motion is why even nano-scale quantum effects are often studied at low temperatures.

A classical question: When does the cricket ball travel its fastest (towards the batsman)?

This question was asked by Dan Trouw of Darwin. Let's answer it using classical mechanics, rather than quantum mechanics, while recognising that quantum mechanics reduces to the classical result in typical macroscopic circumstances, such as cricket.

The question is an interesting one: the ball is released above ground level, so it has a couple of metres to fall. On the other hand, air resistance is slowing it from the moment it leaves the hand. Which force 'wins'? The answer is not immediately obvious -- to me, at least. On the one hand, the trajectory of a well-hit is obviously not a parabola: it falls more rapidly than one would expect. So the force of air resistance is obviously considerable. On the other, a ball dropped from rest would take a long time to approach terminal velocity. So a calculation is necessary.

The force of gravity is easy, it's the weight, W = mg. Let's compare it with the force F_drag due to turbulent drag. This is given by:

F_drag = (1/2)C_DAρv²,

where v is the speed, ρ is the density of air, A is the cross-sectional area, and C_D is the drag coefficient. This coefficient, which is around unity for very blunt objects and which decreases for streamlined objects, must be measured experimentally, For a sphere it is typically about 0.5. So we have

F_drag ≈ 0.25πv²ρv²,

The density of air is about 1.2 kg.m^-3. So, for a very fast bowler, with v = 40 m/s, this force is about 2 newtons: for such a bowler, the drag force is about the same as the weight of the cricket ball. For someone bowling at say 20 m/s, the drag force would be only a few tenths of the weight.

Thus, for a ball bowled vertically downwards (a new meaning for shooting one's self in the foot), and for a slow bowler, weight would be more important than drag, as it clearly is when the ball is dropped.

However, the ball is not bowled vertically down -- at least not deliberately. It is easiest to include the effect of direction by considering kinetic energy. The work done by a force is the magnitude of the force times the component of displacement in the direction of the force. Gravity has only about two metres of downwards vertical travel over which to accelerate the ball, while the drag has about twelve metres (more for a slow bowler) to decelerate it. And a very slow bowler would have to bowl the ball slightly upwards ("give it a bit of air") just so that it covers the distance. In which case, gravity would act to slow it at first, not accelerate it.

Consequently, drag has a greater effect on reducing the kinetic energy (and thus slowing it) than has gravity in increasing it. So, even for quite slow bowlers, the fastest that the ball is travelling is just when it leaves the bowler's hand -- until, of course, it reaches the bat.

The slapping story of Harbhajan and Sreesant

2008-04-26T07:22:00.000-07:00

Mumbai Indians captain Harbhajan Singh and Kings XI paceman S Sreesanth were on Friday involved in a bitter row, following which the fast bowler was seen crying bitterly on the ground at the end of their IPL match here.

Harbhajan allegedly slapped Sreesanth after the paceman said something to Harbhajan which offended the off-spinner.

The off-spinner however had a long chat with Sreesanth in the dressing room of the Punjab team and even believed to have apologised for his behaviour.

Harbhajan though did not speak on the issue when he came to address the post match conference.

"Can we have questions on just cricket," Harbhajan said when asked about what happened between him and Sreesanth.

The winning captain Yuvraj Singh was upset by the unsavoury incident and termed it "ugly".

"This is really an ugly incident. You do not want to see such things off the field specially after such a win. I am pretty upset at what has happened. This is totally unacceptable," he said apparently criticising Harbhajan Singh.

Yuvraj though said he did not know what actually transpired between the two.

"I do not know what exactly happened but one does not want to see such things happening."

Kings XI coach Tom Moody was also visibly upset by the incident and termed as "unacceptable" Harbhajan's behaviour.

"At the end of the day, players shake hands. But today saw more that from Harbhajan and Sreesanth. It is unacceptable behaviour and I am sure officials will take of note.

"The positive thing is that Harbhajan had a long chat with Sreesanth. But I am not sure what ramifications this incident will have," Moody said.

Upset after his team's third successive defeat, the turbanator also looked unhappy with his teammates.

"When you lose nothing seems to be okay. I won't bowl and bat for other people. They have to be captain of their own bowling and own bowling. I can not do other's job," he said angrily when asked if captaincy was tough.

"I don't like losing. When you lose, you don't feel happy."

There's actually quite an interesting story...Harold Larwood was batting in a county match, and was being peppered with the short-pitched stuff. The bowler (whose name I can't remember) obviously fancied himself as a tailender's nightmare...Anyway, Larwood, after receiving one too many perfume balls, glared down the pitch and said dangerously, "It'll be my turn soon."

"Don't worry", came the reply,"if you pitch it in my half, I'll hit you out of the ground, and if you pitch it in your half, I'll hit you out of the county."

Soon enough, it was Larwood's turn to take the field, and he ran through the top order, obviously quite eager to settle scores with the upstart. He reminded him of that, as he took guard. Once again, the batsman reminded him how far it was to the next county.

"We'll see", said Larwood, went back to his mark, and exploded into his runup.... The upstart never saw the ball. It reared up wickedly towards his face and after barely fending it off, he caught a glimpse of it falling well short of first slip. He tucked his bat under his arm and started walking.

"Come back and fight," called Larwood.. Well bowled, Lol, well bowled!" came the reply. "You weren't out," said the umpire. "In my opinion, gentlemen," replied the upstart, "that was the fairest catch I've ever seen!"

The bowler balls to the batsman's face
With spin fast or medium pace
But bravely does the batsman face
Because he has a helmet on his face

He hits the ball and the fielders race
And throw it back at the wicketkeepers face
For the next ball the baller goes to his place
"One minute" says the batsman, "Let me tie my lace!"

New Rules of ICC after India and Australia test match

2008-04-25T07:51:00.001-07:00

1) Ricky Ponting – (THE TRULY GENUINE CRICKETER OF THE CRICKET ERA AND WHOSE INTEGRITY SHOULD NOT BE DOUBTED) should be considered as the FOURTH UMPIRE. As per the new rules, FOURTH UMPIRE decision is final and will over ride any decisions taken by any other umpires. ON-FIELD umpires can seek the assistance of RICKY PONTING even if he is not on the field. This rule is to be made, so that every team should understand the importance of the FOURTH UMPIRE.

2) While AUSTRALIAN TEAM is bowling, If the ball flies anywhere close to the AUSTRALIAN FIELDER(WITHIN 5 meter distance), the batsman is to be considered OUT irrelevant of whether the catch was taken cleanly or grassed. Any decision for further clarification should be seeked from the FOURTH UMPIRE. This is made to ensure that the cricket is played with SPORTIVE SPIRIT by all the teams.

3) While BATTING, AUSTRALIAN players will wait for the ON-FIELD UMPIRE decisions only (even if the catch goes to the FIFTH SLIP as the ball might not have touched the bat). Each AUSTRALIAN batsman has to be out FOUR TIMES (minimum) before he can return to the pavilion. In case of THE CRICKETER WITH INTEGRITY, this can be higher.

4) UMPIRES should consider a huge bonus if an AUSTRALIAN player scores a century. Any wrong decisions can be ignored as they will be paid huge bonus and will receive the backing of the AUSTRALIAN team and board.

5) All AUSTRALIAN players are eligible to keep commenting about all players on the field and the OPPONENT TEAM should never comment as they will be spoiling the spirit of the AUSTRALIAN team. Any comments made in any other language are to be considered as RACIALISM only.

6) MATCH REFEREE decisions will be taken purely on the AUSTRALIAN TEAM advices only. Player views from the other teams decisions will not be considered for hearing. MATCH REFEREES are to be given huge bonus if this rule is implemented.

7) NO VISITING TEAM should plan to win in AUSTRALIA. This is to ensure that the sportive spirit of CRICKET is maintained.

8) THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE: If any bowler gets RICKY PONTING - “THE UNDISPUTED CRICKETER WITH INTEGRITY IN THE GAME OF CRICKET” more than twice in a series, he will be banned for the REST OF THE SERIES. This is to ensure that the best batsman/Captain will be played to break records and create history in the game of CRICKET.
