Hardeep Analysis

Hi

You must be wondering what is this about and who is this Hardeep? Hardeep Singh Virdi is my brother. An Amazing person and Cricketer. His repeated analysis on Team, Players and Matches were so Accurate that I had to keep a note of them. So the main topic We would be discussing  here is Cricket. It might be Team, Players, Matches, Series.

So Who is Hardeep and Why his Analysis?

Hardeep is one of the most amazing Cricketers that I have seen in my life. He is not a road side or so called gully Cricketer. He has had his share of lime light and touch of fame. He played for his school in many Inter-School Competitions. He is one of the Greats in his school. Who brought in lot of Cups. His confidence in facing any bowlers and the way he break down opposition strategies are simply amazing. I have never seen someone who is able to practically read the Game. When ever we watch cricket he knows what will be the reaction and decisions taken by some of the players. It’s just amazing to see that. I would have loved to see him in international arena playing for India. But just like many other great players in our country he is lost in chain of Society Circles.

So what we are going to do here is , We are going to post series of “Hardeep Analysis” on various Teams, Players, Matches Etc. Enjoy.

The Lost Team Pakistan

Hi,

Yesterday, I was watching match between Pakistan and England. England was amazing. Never for a minute they looked down because the lost their last match with the Netherlands. Their approach towards the game was simple aggressive cricket. The way Kevin Pieterson played was amazing. And he got very good company from Luke Wright too. Pakistan just had glims of spark in them every now and then. 

This is not the Team Pakistan that I know. The Pakistan team that I knew was aggressive. They never where great batsmen. (Other than Saheed Anwar. And little glims of Afarid’s Brillinace. Every now and then.) But man they had bowlers. They generated Pace machines like no other country. A Team that gave Cricket reverse swing. The Team that fought it through gave hard time to the opposition. If not every country atleast India. But seeing them just let go the warm up match. That was sad. They did not have the X Factor that normally we see in Pakistani Team.  I am not a Pakistani Supporter. I am an Indian. I want my team to win. But I enjoy the rivary India and Pakistan had on the field. That tough cricket they played on the field. Damn it was good to see that. What I want is a Final where India beat Pakistan. But I dont see that spark in pakistan team. I dont think they will make it to the super 8 itself. Pakistan team is lost in some other world. They should realize their strength. And theirs is Bowling. I think Bangladesh gave a better fight than Pakistan gave against India or England. Its high time they pull up their socks. Or they will say bye bye to the cup pretty soon.

I wanted to write this not  because I am Pakistan cricket supporter. I love my country and will aways support India. But the way Pakistan play cricket these days shows the mirror Image of whats going on in their country. I think there should be lot more determined than any other team in the competation. I am sure a win will help many people back home for them.  Yesterday, The interview given by Younis Khan was even more sad. Singling out your players in you team sends a wrong signal to the supporters. No matter how bad you do we must never single out any player and say he did not play well. You loose as a team You win as a team. Younis Khan should look up to players and Captain like Dhoni. And the way he projects himself and his team.

There is lot of work that Pakistan needs to do if they want to be in the tournoment.

IPL Practice for ICC World Twenty20

Hi

We kept hearing this from everyone. IPL is going to tire the players for the world cup. Teams coming fresh to the world cup have got more chances and all the crap. Seeing the results of past few games. I think its just the opposite. IPL has prepared the players for the world cup.

See the players who are performing. Most of them have been in IPL. The way Indian side played their first match against Bangladesh I was star struck! They never looked tensed. Just before 15th Over. I started thinking we are going to loose our very first match. And then we saw Yuvi make it look so simple. Not for a moment he looked angry frusted. He looked calm cool. Each of his shots were no slogs. They were clean cut shorts. With 18 ball 41 run. I knew there was no stopping India. See the way New Zealand is playing now. We all know their team to play hard cricket. But I think IPL has certainly helped them a lot. South Africa is totally in command of their game. IPL II was a blessing for them. All their players are sharp and in Twenty20 mood. Yesterday performers in England team were also main players in IPL. This is a slap to all those who thought that IPL will make them weak for the world cup. 

I am looking forward to exciting World Twenty20. I pray we win again. India India India. India bole Ane De.
