Email to CAN

In Cricket Talk — By Prabin the सोभित on Thursday, June 12, 2008

Yesterday i sent a mail to CAN which is as fallow:

Hellow,

I am Sobhit from S. Korea, want to know, what is going on to prepare our team for upcoming ACC Trophy?

As we all know, our batting is main concern, what is CAN doing to strength it? This time round, time is very limited to us, so we have to be focused on time rather further more lately. What is CAN doing now, Are they going there with same squad or what? Why any news doesnt come out?

What do you think about changing our Coach? He has given all things what he has? Nothing remains from him to expect so we should change him with respect. I thought Mr. Ijaz Ahmad made good point about our cricket so you could be best option if he agrees after all he is a genuine batsman, being Pakistani, may be not so costly too.

What is your plan to stop Alam to go aboard who is assuming to go with any offer? You may know how much value he has been for the team. What about Kaniksha to bring back for the opening slot? Where is Vardan Chalise, Munik Shrestha, Basudev Thapa? Are you know all of them?

Ok then, waiting your reply, Thank you

Yours
Prabin the SOBHIT

Federal Republic of Nepal Vs Aghanistan

ICC WCL Div 5.
Jersey
30/05/08

Nepal now enters the most important phase of the tournament after regular minnow bashing in the league rounds. Nepal will play much media hyped Afghanistan, who was thought to be the tournamnet favourite till they were soundly beaten by Singapore. Afghanistans place in the semis are courtesy of media hype, weather fortunes and mismanagement. Singapore deserved to be in semis after having such a great tournament.Nepal is still unbeaten and group leader of their team. The team lead by two Ds’ (Dias, the coach and Das, the captain) are still to be tested. Nepal have a decent performance against USA, the only team which challaned Nepal seriously but the score is still to be settled as weather didnot allowed USA to bat.

However, Nepals problem of batting is still unsolved. Gyanandra Malla is at prime form and Alam is helping with bat a lot but other major batsman have not yet clicked yet. Nepal have depth in batting, as Das and B Regmi are regular 8 & 9 numbers. Paresh Lohani and Shakti Gauchan havent performed a lot with bat and Shakti isnt contributing a lot with ball either. Given the way Alam is taking wickets and Das stopping the run flow, any team at this level would have major problem in scoring 200 against Nepal.

Lets hope, Nepal to reach the finals which will open the door to Division 4, which is one step closer to World Cup 2011. I hope to see five sub-continental team ( Ind, Pak, Sri, B’desh and Nepal) in the 2011 WC.

Best of Luck to both RHINOS and the Afghanistan team.

Win Against Mozambique and Alams 10

In Cricket Talk — By Binodbikash on Sunday, May 25, 2008

It is a phenomenal day for Nepali cricket as they ruthlessly beat Mozambique by 219 runs. On the course to victory, Mehaboob Alam the opening bowler took all 10 wickets in his 7.5 over spell.

Loosing the toss, Nepal was put to bat first on the wet wicket. Nepal was once 30 for 3, but  Shakti Gauchan partnered with Gyanendra Malla for 73 runs for fourth wicket. After Gauchan was caught by Qadir of Gulams ball, Paras Khadka join Malla and partnered for 80 runs. Nepal then reached to safety. Comeos from Alam and Basant regmi at the end ensured Nepal to score 238  runs. Nepal scored 93 runs of last 10 overs. Gyanendra Malla scored 71 while Paras Khadka made 44 with two 4s’ and one six.

It was Alams day when Nepal came into bowl. He send eight Mozambique batsman to the pavilion without lettting them score. Only two batsman scored with the bat. It may be the first time in the history of cricket that any bowler take all 10 wicket in limited over match.

Congratulation to both the team and Alam.

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Academy cricket team arrived

In Cricket Talk — By Prabin the सोभित on Wednesday, May 7, 2008
From the official site of CAN;
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Academy cricket team arrived in Kathmandu Tuesday afternoon for three one-day matches against the Nepali national team. The PCB Academy will play against Nepal on Thursday, Friday and Sunday at the TU Cricket Ground.
Former Pakistani Test player Ijaz Ahmed is the coach of the team led by Khalid Latif. Latif made his One-Day International (ODI) debut for Pakistan against Zimbabwe in January this year. Left arm spinner and batsman Fawad Alam has also played impressively in six ODIs.
The team also consists another ODI player in Khurram Manzoor Khan.
Rahil Majid, Wahad Riaz, Mohammad Aamer, Yasir Shah, Sohail Khan, Adil Raza, Naeem Anjum, Ahmed Shehzad, Azhar Ali, Syed Imad Wasim, Ali Asad, Anwar Ali Khan, Sarfaraz Ahmed, Sheikh Mohammad Asad make up the squad.
Syed Azhar Hussain Zaidi (manager), Saboor Ahmed (trainer), Mohd Adil Iqbal Bajwa (physio) and Umer Farooq Qureshi (analyst) complete the backroom team.
The Pakistani team flew in from Dhaka, Bangladesh where it won a triangular one-day series against academy sides of Bangladesh and South Africa. It won all four matches on a trot including the final after losing to South Africa by six runs in a league match. It also defeated Bangladesh Academy in two four-day matches by identical margin of eight wickets. 
The series is an opportunity for Nepal to prepare for the World Cricket League Division 5 Tournament to be held in Jersey next month.
I am very happy to see the Pakistani squad where they include their various ODI players. It is very nice that our team is playing with a very quality team. And it should help us the go through world League div. vi.
 
The ODI Players, they included:

Anyway, Best of luck for our team, we are always with u. Fight till the last bowl they will bowl.

Indian Premier League: The Unfair Business

In Cricket Talk — By Binodbikash on Thursday, April 24, 2008

I am posting this article here to make my complain official. I have made a complain against Indian Premiere League at International Cricket Council, Asian Cricket Council and Cricinfo. The complain was sent in the form of email on 23 April 2008 at around 1800 hrs GMT. The complains were sent to enquiries@icc-events.com , media@asiancricket.org and through Cricinfo contact box. Email to ICC and ACC were sent with the subject IPL: The Unfair Business. The email to Cricinfo was subjected to Cricinfo Editoral.
I have attached my email to ACC here but emails to ICC and Cricinfo are very similar. 

I will be posting all the happenings here.

==============================================
The Complain:
Dear ACC MANAGEMENT,
I would like to attract your attention towards the ground staff of the on going IPL series in India. The multi million project is being well anticipated by the cricket world but no one have considerd looking at the HEALTH and SAFETY issue of the ground staff. If you watch carefully, almost all the ground staff are bare footed. HOW CAN THAT BE ACCEPTABLE IN TERMS OF HEALTH AND SAFETY?  ARE THE GROUND STAFF COVERED BY ANY INSURENCE IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO THEM AS A RESULT OF THAT?
 
The Asian governing body of cricket must not over look this. Everyone must be safe while working on behalf of ACC, may that be the ground staff or the head of ICC/ ACC. I hope ACC will also have a say about this matter.
 
I hope something would be done to help the minors in danger.

Many Thanks,
Binod Simkhada

CAN selected 18 members squad today

In Cricket Talk — By Prabin the सोभित on Wednesday, April 16, 2008

CAN has selected 18 members preliminary squad for upcoming world league division 5, today.

In that squad, we can see there is 6 specialist Batsmen (Paresh Lohani, Sarad Veswakar, Dipendra Chaudhary, Gyanendra Malla, Antim Thapa and Yashwant Subedi), 7 specialist Bowlers (Binod Das, Sanjam Regmi, Raj Kumar Pradhan, Amrit Bhattarai, Dhirendra Chand, Manjeet Shrestha and Pramod Basnet), 4 allrounders (Paras Khadka, Shakti Gauchan, Mehboob Alam and Basant Regmi) and 1 wicketkeeper (Mahesh Chhetri).

As we all know, our main problem is our batting rather than bowling but still here we have more bowlers than batsmen.  I surprised to see it, can’t they still understand what’s our problem? Can’t we pick more special batsmen or don’t we have any capable batsmen more?

I want to ask them, why they picked Antim here where he could not made his place even in U19 playing line up in last U19 world cup where he played mere 2 or 3 matches and I don’t remember he has played any remarkable knock in last league. and same question about Dhirendra, Rajkumar and Manjeet, I don’t think he had good league this time around.

Raju Basnet has very good leage here but he could not make a place what’s the problem with him?

The Squad:

  1. Binod Das
  2. Paresh Lohani
  3. Paras Khadka
  4. Shakti Gauchan
  5. Mehboob Alam
  6. Sanjam Regmi
  7. Sarad Veswakar
  8. Dipendra Chaudhary
  9. Gyanendra Malla
  10. Mahesh Chhetri
  11. Raj Kumar Pradhan
  12. Amrit Bhattarai
  13. Basant Regmi
  14. Dhirendra Chand
  15. Manjeet Shrestha
  16. Pramod Basnet
  17. Antim Thapa
  18. Yashwant Subedi.

hellow guys, what do you have ideas about this squad?

Domestic One Day League

In Cricket Talk — By Binodbikash on Friday, March 28, 2008

Domestic One Day league have started today with defending champion Bhairahawa playing the curtain raiser against region six, Baitadi. As usual the match in being held in Kathmandu valley. Last minute change to the venues means Bhaktapurs’ only ground at Army School wont see any matches. Engineering college ground, Lab School ground, University ground will hold all the matches.

Bhairahawa despite being the defending champion, face a uphill task to keep the title as four time champion Biratnagar and last years finalist Kathmandu are strnger than ever. Biratnagar got mixed team of youth and experienced but Kathmandu is almost full of U-19 players. The national captain led Birjung will also give tough time to opponents despite their weak batting line up. Nepaljung as always may not be able to  put any competation. Baiatdi is a dark horse with buch of talented player playing for them.

The regular stars like Alam, Chand, Das and Veswakar may steal the lime light again this year. The young players like Rom Shrestha, Rahul BK, Nirmal Simangaida will try to make mark on the national stage. This year will be a big compeation among the rising youth and the fading experienced.
