So you think you can cricket blog?
A few have asked how they can become cricket-blog authors. Eg - be able to start new blog posts rather than just comment on existing ones. We're keen for more authors - particularly from different countries. To allow us a good look at your writing, you need to have registered your own cricket-blog account and posted at least 30 comments. What we're looking for:
- The ability to string a few words together in a readable fashion. Good spelling helps.
- No racism. There's been a few instances where our authors have briefly crossed that line but they immediately saw the error of their ways :-)
- A sense of humour is welcome - we recommend you don't take yourself too seriously.
- Most importantly, a passion for cricket. It is the world's greatest game, after all.

We should start a thread talking about the woes of South African cricket and their controversial "transformation" policy where 7 out of a squad of 14 needs to be picked on the basis of their colour...
What do people think about this policy?

Mr.Xavier, the reason many don't like T20 is that for the most part, it won't resemble cricket, atleast in the near future. Batters will have baseball grips, bowlers will bowl off 2 step run ups and the whole game will be reduced to a shadow of what it once was.
But such proposed rule changes only adds 'tamasha' to the proceedings! Lets get it straight, do we want to watch proper cricket or our own ripped-manual style gully cricket?
"Cracker Zone" "Golden Maiden?" 9 runs for 1 shot? Give me a break!
Maybe we should give 2 wickets to a fielder taking a one-handed catch, 2 wickets bonus to a bowler who uproots the middle stump, (one wicket 'golden' bonus if he can take out the stump camera too!) Subtract runs from the batting team if a fielder takes a skier more than 30 metres high, Bonus 5 runs to the fielding team for a direct hit runout - I could go on listing a squillion more "bowler friendly suggestions" but unfortunately none of them work! Neither do yours, Mr. Xavier. , not even for the comedy show called Twenty20 cricket.
I admire your enthusiasm in sending the proposed changes to the ICC, but I think it would be better off if all us real cricket lovers stick to watching proper cricket and pray for a miracle..

After seeing the above in action I can`t help but feel that his bowling arm action is possibly illegal?
The ball leaves the hand when his arm appears to be at 45 degrees or so and perhaps this is how he gets the ball down at the pace he does.
An upright overarm bolwler he does not appear to be.
The rules of the game after all are there to bne followed, (ideally with a straight arm).
Interested to hear other comments on this.

Sometimes you can score in cricket without picking a bat and walking onto the crease; before you spin the ball and send a thunderbolt streaking down the wicket; and, even while the covers are still on the grass and the teams are dressing up. All it takes is a cause, your belief in it, and the willingness to give of yourself to further that cause. That’s what Nita Ambani has started doing this week, scoring for her IPL team the Mumbai Indians, even though the third season of the popular Twenty20 tournament is still a cool 17 days away. And this Nita’s doing not for Messrs.
Sachin Tendulkar, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan & Co., but for underprivileged kids of five NGOs that she is supporting through an initiative called ‘Education For All’. It was launched across national television channels on Sunday. Of course, Sachin, Bhajji and Zaheer are part of the initiative, they all appear in 15-second commercials for the cause, but the real stars of this Mumbai Indians promo are the children who make an endearing appearance with Nita at the end. Look out for it, you will know what I mean.
As to how Nita intends taking her cause to the masses, it’s simple. Just like American cycling legend Lance Armstrong did for cancer victims in 2004, the Mumbai Indians is selling blue silicone wristbands signed by Tendulkar and other greats from the team that say ‘Education For All’. Every band sold will mean some amount of money goes towards the NGOs Pratham, Ummeed, Akanksha, Teach For India and Nanhi Kali that do exemplary work in educating underprivileged children. The sale proceeds will be matched by a contribution from the Mumbai Indians’ kitty. Nita is counting on the huge fan base her team has across the country to boost the sales, but since it is for a charitable cause, all benevolent Indians supporting other IPL teams are expected to pitch in and buy the bands as well. “It’s a small and humble effort,” said Nita who believes education is the key that unlocks the potential of every child. She must know, she was a school teacher once, and now she runs the Dhirubhai Ambani International School, one of the world’s premier holistic education institutions providing a robust, all-round learning that stresses on values of humanity as much as it does on academics. In the evenings, this prestigious institute becomes an education centre for Akanksha’s underprivileged kids. Besides which, through the Reliance rural schools in Maharashtra and Gujarat, Nita also looks after the education of 15,000 other children.
“One of India’s big needs is for every underprivileged kid, especially the girl child, to know how to read and write,” continued Nita. “This is a cause that’s very dear to me, and Sachin, Harbhajan and Zaheer were happy to endorse it in the promo.” It doesn’t end just with the sale of the ‘Education For All’ bands that are available at all Reliance and Sahakari Bhandar stores in Maharashtra, of course. For Nita, who sits cheering in the dug-outs whenever her team is playing, will take 120 of these kids to see every home match. She later plans to hold a special benefit match for them with her players.
“It will be such fun, imagine Zaheer bowling to the kids! Cricket is so unusual, it unifies everybody, and the kids know so much about the game — I’m surprised,” she said in an interaction with children from the five NGOs over a game of cricket in a Cuffe Parade garden. “Who is India’s greatest batsman,” she asked, conducting an impromptu quiz. Every hand went up. “Sachin Tendulkar,” they cried, with one boy adding shyly, “He’s also the captain of our team!” And Nita Ambani, who’s totally involved with the Mumbai Indians, and understands cricket closely, blushed with pride...
