I have apologized : Lakshman
Indian stylish batsman V V S Lakshman said “he apologized Pragyan Ojha after the over”.
In 57th over, when Lakshman was facing Hilfenhaus, he wanted to take single on the 5th ball as he wanted to fact Johnson. But, Ojha did’t responded for the single.
“I know that the 6th ball will be a bouncer (which was actually), so I wanted to take single and face the next over” added Lakshman. After the end of the over Lakshman apologized Ojha.

Thanks VVS Lakshman For Winning The First Test Againest Australia
Thanks VVS Lakshman and Ishant Sharma for you performance against Australia. You kept your head cool, played sensibly and won the test.
Chasing the target of 216, India were at 124/8, at the edge of a probable defeat. But, our Very Very Special Lakshman, with the back pain continued his batting with the help of Raina as the runner. He got excellent support from Ishant Shram. Both of them added 81 runs in 25 overs, taking India to the edge of a sweet win. But, the tension mounted when Hilfenhaus got Ishant out LBW, still India 11 runs behind the target. Ojha, the last man, again batted sensibly to take pass India to the required runs.
Zaheer Khan awarded as the Man Of The Match. We are not taking away the performance of Zaheer, but for us its VVS Lakshman is the Man of the Match.
From the Australia’s point of view, they have taken the 9 wickets, including the Master Blaster, Dangerous Sehwag, The Wall Dravid, the inform Raina, and the Indian Skipper MSD. But, they could not take the wicket of their favorite VVS.
Now we have proved that, India did’t got the First Rank so easily… India deserve to be the No 1 Test Team.
Are you listening Mr. Ricky Ponting and Mr. Kumara Sangakkara

Pakistan Blaming India For Match Fixing
Now its time for Pakistan to blame others. Its started blaming India and ICC. They want to get the proofs for taking any action against the suspected cricketers.
They want the complete proof. Yes, they need the proofs to take a proper action, but the cricketers at least should be suspended. Other wise, if they perform badly then they will be they will be suspected whether they are involved in any fixing.
Other thing is, the media is asking the opinion of every cricketer whom they are meeting for the match fixing. Somebody said that, Imran Khan should be managing the PCB. I do not know how many people remember, in his biography, Imran Khan said that “he used to get cool drink bottle caps for changing the shape of the ball”. So what he is going to teach the team? moral values or ….

Pakistan Cricket Vs Match Fixing
Pakistan Cricket and Match fixing are like close friends. They can’t live without each other. Whenever there is news about match fixing, definitely it involves a Pakistani cricketer and the bookie from either India/Pakistan.
Whom to blame?
- The cricketer who is getting into match fixing?
- The PCB who not taking any strong actions against cricketers who are involved in the fixing?
- Or the ICC who is not supervising properly.
Whenever there is a match fixing allegation and a Pakistani cricketer is found guilty, the PCB will impose penalty or ban on the cricketer for few month/years. Surprisingly, the same PCB will revoke the suspension on the cricketer.
This happened many times, and it will continue…
God Save Cricket
