TEST CRICKET.

Test cricket is the longest form of the sport of cricket. Test matches are played between national representative teams with "Test status", as determined by the International Cricket Council (ICC). The two teams of 11 players play a four-innings match, which often lasts up to five days. It is generally considered the most complete examination of teams' playing ability and endurance.The origin of the name Test stems from the long, gruelling match being a "test" of the relative strength of the two sides.The first officially recognised Test match began on 15 March 1877, between England and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), where Australia won by 45 runs. A Test match to celebrate 100 years of Test cricket was held in Melbourne from 12 to 17 March 1977, in which Australia beat England by 45 runs—the same margin as that first Test.In October 2012, the International Cricket Council recast the playing conditions for Test matches, permitting day/night Test matches.

Test cricket is played in traditional white clothes. Red ball is used in test cricket. Only 9 teams play test cricket.some of the teams are India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, Bangladesh, Australia, New Zealand, England. My favourite test player is Rahul Dravid. He is called as wall of cricket. He is also called as Mr Dependable. I like him as a player and also human being.Rahul Dravid is a calm and disciplined player.He believes in fair play.His retirement was sad moment in Indian cricket. I hope he comes back as Indian coach and India regains top spot in test ratings.

When we see the money and popularity of Cricket players we feel like their lives very good and luxuries but we fail to see their hard work and effort.Everybody wants that fame and name but nobody wants to work for it.Some of the players who were out of form or failed to perform are jobless and suffering in poverty.We can see the life of Andrew Simonds he was a star player but due to bad form and his behavior he was dropped from international cricket.At Last he had to aution hes bad for money.Even there are dark side in the game of Cricket as the whole world was shocked by the death of a young Australian Cricket player Phil Huges who died after he was hit by a ball in county cricket match.It was a great loss for the game of Cricket.People fail to see this side of Cricket.

When  we talk about history of World Cup India has never won against South Africa. India will be playing their second game against South Africa. Hope India win this time and continue  the winning streak in World Cup.We Won't Give It Back .Hope we win world Cup again and become world champion again. 

When we talk about a India's World cup win in 2011.we remember a guy who made this possible.He was the man of the tournament Yuvraj singh.

Yuvraj singh was suffering from lung cancer during the world cup.During the matches he had breathing problems still he never gave up.He performed for his country he was the real star.After the world cup people came to know about his illness.After coming to about his illness  he was a real Hero for me and the nation.

During his treatment in abroad he was a fighter .whenever his mother and friends visited him they use to cry seeing him but this fighting sikh use to make them laugh and talk as if he has no disease. He is a motivation for crores of people across the Globe.Bt it was heartbreaking to see him suffer.Finaly he was completely cured from cancern and was back on ground and continued to play for the nation.yuvraj Singh is an inspiration for millions and whole world salutes him nd his courage.

Sudden retirement of M S Dhoni from Test Cricket shocked the world.He announced his retirement in between the test match series against Australia.It was a controversial and nobody knowns the reason for it.The cricket legends like kapil Dev,sunil Gavaskar,Sachin Tendulkar,Sourab Ganguly where shocked and suprised by his decision.

He is the best Test Captain for India.Under his captaincy India was at the top of Test ranking.Hes innovative decisions and out of box thinking made him great.He was called captain cool because of his calm and cool behavior on the field and off the yield.He is a the inspiration for millions as he started at the bottom and reached at the top.As we say Zero to Hero he was a simply boy from middle class family and reached at the top by his hard work and love for the game of Cricket.He proved his simplicity by marryng a middle class girl sakshi.He will be remembered as all time greats of Cricket.

Indian Cricket board and People of the world  respected his decision and accepted his retirement.As he was known for his innovative decisions and thinking.But it is the loss for the test Cricket and India as he is the living legend and a leader.

World cup is starting from February 2015 .Like all other cricket fans even i am excited.This year the World cups in Australia .

In 2011 India won the world cup after defeating Sri Lanka in final.The world cup final match started with an controversial toss. It was a Big day for Indian cricket as India won the world cup after 28 year .The captain cool MS Dhoni won it for India.Nobody can forget his finishing 6 in wankhede stadium.Even after 4 years i watch that winning movements in youtube.Gautham Gambhir wonderful batting at the start was also reason for India's world cup win.This world cup was dedicated to Sachin Tendulkar as it was his last world cup.Yuvraj Singh was the star and reason for India winning the world cup.He was Man of the tournament.After the presentation ceremony all the players carried sachin Tendulkar on their shoulders across the wankhede stadium.
