• Match Date: Sunday, 27 February 2011
• Group: B
• Live Streaming: Watch the Live Telecast of the match on Star Cricket from 9:00 am GMT. Check in about an hour earlier to catch the pre-match World Cup Preview Show. (With Siddhu around, it is generally a colourful, interesting scene there!)
• Also for Live Cricket Streaming: India vs England Live Streaming

The mayhem that just happened outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore which is playing host to this match shows how big a game this is. Fans are restlessly anticipating for a good match - and this one features India. Doesn't get bigger than this, does it?

The format of this World Cup is such that there are too many mismatches in the first round. How excited can one get about an India vs Netherlands or a England vs Ireland match? No wonder then that the few matches which involve two full members of the ICC are drawing all the eyeballs and streaming attention.

While the World Cup keeps producing an upset now and then, but yet, the quality of the cricket definitely suffers when there is one of the minnows playing. Can't blame them. All that I think is that this is not the CWC is not the right platform for them to show their wares. The earlier formula where the winner of the ICC Associate Trophy used to get to play was the right one.

Coming back to the India - England game tomorrow. As Andrew Strauss has said yesterday, "the pressure is going to be on India." Tens of thousands of supporters in the ground and the expectations of millions more outside really weighs on the shoulders of Sachin Tendulkar and the the other members of the other team.

The one mitigating factor would be that it is not really a do-or-die match. However, both teams would be keen to win the match as they would want to finish on top of the group and ideally meet New Zealand in the quarter-final.

So don't miss the live streaming of the India vs England World Cup Group B match tomorrow. Tune into Star Cricket at 9:00 am GMT.

World Cup 2011: England vs Netherlands Live Streaming

In an hour from now, the 2nd Group B match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 is all set to begin. It is going to be an all Europe affair as England will take on Netherlands. The live telecast of the match can be seen on Star Cricket. Start time is 2:30 pm Indian Standard Time. You may click here for further information on live streaming of the England Netherlands Match.

England have put up a good show in the warm-up matches leading to this Group Match winning both their fixtures. They especially impressed in their win over Pakistan, who are being seen as a dangerous team and the dark horse for winning the World Cup.

The England team would ideally want to win the toss and bat first today. This would allow their batsmen the right kind of match practise as it is likely that Netherlands may get skittled out quickly were they to bat first. That would leave the English batsmen with not much time on the wickets.

Watch the match live from 2:30 pm to find out how it eventually turns out.

World Cup 2011: India vs Bangladesh Live Streaming

Streets in Dhaka are abuzz with discussions on the Cricket World Cup 2011 which starts today in the Bangladesh capital. Go to any adda, and the only discussion you will find happening over a hot cuppa tea is that of the India vs Bangladesh match.

Fans here understand that India are a much stronger team, but there is an underlying confidence that they have in their team. Unlike the last time, when the India - Bangladesh match was being seen as a one sided affair (that India lost is a different matter), it is not so the case this time. This one is a much stronger team and with the home advantage, they can only be that much more dangerous.

The match starts in about a few hours from now. You can watch the match live in Bangladesh and India on both Star Cricket and ESPN. In India, Doordarshan will also show the match live. Want to watch the match live streaming? Search on the internet and you will find plenty of websites where you can watch the live cricket action from Dhaka.

Which team are you supporting? We are Indian fans here, but looking forward to some good hitting by Tamim Iqbal and Mohammad Ashraful. Sounds good? Why don't you share in the discussion?

Live Streaming of India vs New Zealand Warm-up Match

As I write, India are playing New Zealand in their second and final warm-up match to the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011. India won the toss and chose to bat first. Star Cricket is telecasting the match live. You can head here for information on the Live Streaming of the India vs New Zealand Warm-up Match.

For a team that chases badly, I don't know if that was the good thing to do. May be it would have been a better idea for Dhoni to test out his batsmen in a chase. That would also have helped him finalize his crucial finishers. At the moment there is a toss up between Raina and Yuvraj for a slot in the team. More importantly, India need to finalize their batting positions.

Coming back to the match today, Tendulkar and Sehwag got our early after getting a start. Tendulkar scored 17 while Sehwag scored 23. Virat Kohli has just got out after steadying the Indian ship. He scored 59.

For New Zealand, Oram took 2 wickets while Southee claimed 1.

The current score is 148/3 off 29.1 overs. So New Zealand would know that India are well on the way to 300. That might be a tad too much for the Kiwis to chase down so they would be best off trying to gain a couple of wickets at this stage and stopping India to something in the range of 250 to 270.

Live Streaming of India vs Australia Warm-up Match

ICC Cricket World Cup 2011: Live Streaming of India vs Australia Warm-up Match

In about 3 hours from now, India and Australia will take on the field at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore to start their campaign in the World Cup 2011. Not quite though!!

Today's match is only a warm-up match, and does not amount to much in terms of points or run rate. These warm-up games are only meant to give the participating fourteen teams valuable match practice ahead of the start of the serious group matches.

India have been placed in Group B along with England, South Africa, West Indies, Bangladesh and a a couple of non-test playing countries. Australia are in Group A, where the other teams include Pakistan, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Canada and the non-test teams.

STAR Cricket and Star Sports will telecast the match live in India. Click here for further information on the Star Cricket Live Streaming of India vs Australia Warm-up Match.

Even though this may only be a warm-up match, you can be pretty well sure that neither India, nor Australia will give each other any free space. Both sides are expected to come hard at each other, and will look to win the contest and gain the mental edge before the World Cup begins.

India are expected to open with Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag. Gautam Gambhir will follow at no.3. It will be of interest to see if Suresh Raina makes it to the batting XI today. ( Since it is a warm-up match 14 players are allowed to be a part of the match. However, only 11 batsmen can play and at any point only 11 fielders will be allowed on the field).

On the Australia side, their two main batsmen Ricky Ponting and Michael Clarke who have been out of form and runs recently will be keen to get some runs under their belt and regain their lost confidence. Ponting is also coming back after a finger injury so it remains to be seen if he has fully recovered from that.

Another thing is that both teams would want to ensure that no freak injuries take place. Therefore you can expect the fielding to be a bit light, with players not diving around much.

India vs New Zealand 1st ODI Live Streaming

India vs New Zealand, 1st ODI - Watch Live Telecast of the match on Neo Cricket from 0830 hours India Time.

• Venue: Nehru Stadium in Guwahati
• Match Date: Sunday, 28 November 2010
• Live Telecast: On Neo Cricket as well as Doordarshan

The second leg of New Zealand tour of India 2010 commences tomorrow with the first One Day International match at Guwahati. While India ultimately prevailed in the test series by winning the 3rd Test, can they do it again in the ODIs remains to be seen.

Without any doubt, one can say that New Zealand are more likely to be a threat in the limited overs game than they were in Tests. They don't have enough solid batsmen who can occupy the crease and play long innings - the kind of which test cricket demands. However, it was to their credit that they outplayed themselves and managed two draws. In fact, India should consider itself lucky that they did not lose the 1st test of the series itself. Had Harbhajan Singh not scored that century, India were likely to lose the test. How the rest of the series would then have panned out can only be guessed now.

The Kiwis have a good potential XI for the 1st ODI tomorrow. In Tuffey and Miles they have two experienced pacers, and combined that with the experience of Vettori in the spin department, and you have more than a wonderful combination. Can India match up to them? Or can India go one up on the black caps and win the ODI series too.

A lot of these questions will be answered in the first match tomorrow. So don't miss to watch the live streaming of the 1st ODI tomorrow at Guwahati.

Ashes 2010-11 Prevew

England won the previous Ashes 2-1 in what was a closely fought contest. It was so close that I would even be tempted to say that Australia were actually the more dominant and better side in the last Ashes but were unlucky to finish second best. The English captain Andrew Strauss summed it up beautifully at the end of the historic series when he said this:

" We were very bad, when we were bad. But when we were good, we were good enough."div align="left">

What he was trying to say that they just held on long enough
when it mattered. For instance, the no.11 holding on long enough at the crease to thwart a most expect Aussie victory.

England enter this Ashes 2010-11 in red hot form. But they would be meeting the Aussies in their own backyard. And don't forget that this is going to be the last Ashes for their proud captain Rickey Ponting. He would love to win this one and walk into the sunset.

After that surprisingly good performance form the visitors in the 1st test, the interest in the Sri Lanka vs West Indies test series has gone up. Not too many were giving the Caribbean team any chance when they arrived on their tour to the island nation. But see how the 1st test panned out!

Often, it is one man who stands up tall and motivates and leads others out of the most morose of situations. When India went to Australia on a tour, everyone remembered that the last time they were there they lost 0-3 and they were being ruled out even before the beginning of the series.

Much against plans, Saurav Ganguly stood up with a fine hundred at Adelaide after India had lost a few wickets in the 1st test. How the rest of the series panned out is now part of history.

Can Gayle's triple century turn out to be that innings for West Indies. The once proud team has been pumelled so often in the recent past that they seem to have lost faith in themselves. Let's hope that this was the motivation that they required.

In the 1st Test, they made the favourite team Sri Lanka follow on. Can they go one better this time, and take the lead?

Live Streaming: India vs New Zealand 2nd Test

India vs New Zealand - 2nd Test at Hyderabad, Day 2: Live Report

>> Watch the Match Live on Neo Cricket from 9:30 am IST. Click here for live cricket streaming of the 2nd Test.

Day 1 of the 2nd Test belonged to New Zealand. After India got a very early breakthrough in the form of Brendon McCullum, the two Kiwi batsmen - Martin Guptill and McIntosh thwarted the Indian bowlers for a long, long time to put the tourists in a strong position in the match. The duo added over a hundred runs partnership for the 2nd wicket.

At the end of the 1st day's play, New Zealand were well placed with the score card reading 258/4.

However, in the first session of play on day 2, Indian bowlers struck back with a vengeance. Zaheer Khan claimed 2 and Bhajji claimed 3 wickets as New Zealand inning folded for the addition of about 100 more runs.

Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir opened the Indian reply. Surprisingly and quite against his character Virender Sehwag has been very careful and watchful. The two have already added 50 runs for the opening stand and look good.

At the moment, India appear to have the slight edge in the 2nd Test. But the balance can tilt soon if New Zealand can deliver a few quick blows.

Live Cricket Streaming: India vs Australia 2nd ODI

India vs Australia, 2nd ODI on 20th October 2010, Host: Vizag, Watch Live Telecast on Neo Cricket from 2:00 pm local time. Click here for >> live cricket streaming.

India won the toss and elected to make first use of the ball. That was a surprising decision from Dhoni on a wicket that has been known to be a run feast in the past. May be the overcast conditions and Duckworth Lewis coming into player may have affected his decision. Because it is definitely better and advantage batting second if duckworth-lewis comes into play.

India will be seeing the debut of two men today - opener Shikhar Dhawan and Ashwin from Chennai. Overall, a very new and young looking Indian team. So no wonder the bookies think that the favourite at the moment is Australia. Not by a huge margin but odds of about 2.15 are being offered on India before the start of the match.

The odds would have been bigger in favour of Australia but for the fact that they too don't have a very settled look about their XI. Clarke is not in the best of form and has been sustained attack from different corners.

Australia will enter the match as slight favourites, but only marginally so. So it should be a close contest between two balanced ODI teams.

Can India win the 2nd Test?

India vs Australia, 2nd Test Match (9th to 13th October 2010)

As things stand at close of play on the penultimate day, you might be tempted to think that India are clear favourites. It looks likely that India will complete another fantastic win and make it 2-0.

Today's glorious win against England in the semi-final of the Commonwealth Games, the 32 golds, the grand finish in the 1st Test - Indian sport is on a never before high at the moment. It would only be apt that India attack tomorrow from the word go, finish the Aussie tail quickly and then let the batsmen complete the task and make it a splendid 2-0. After all when did India beat Australia 2-0 ever before?

But we are not so sure about this plan. Click here to see what we think should be India's strategy on the early morning of day 5.

India vs Australia 2nd Test Live Cricket Streaming

India vs Australia, 2nd Test Match being played at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore. Match Starts Saturday, 9th October 2010. Click here for information on Live Cricket Streaming.

Teams:

Australia: Simon Katich, Shane Watson, Rickey Ponting, Michael Hussey, Michael Clarke, Marcus North, Tim Paine, Mitchell Johnson, Peter George, Nathan Haurtiz, Ben Hilfenhaus

Australia has introduced debutant fast bowler Peter George into their team. He replaced the injured Dougie Bollinger. India has also made two changes to its team. The injured players, VVS Laxman and Ishant Sharma have been left out. Replacing them are Cheteshwar Pujara and Sreesanth respectively.

A tight contest is being expected at Bangalore after the two teams fought a fierce battle in the first match previous week. India lead the series 1-0 right now, but will it finish it like that? This ground has not been a very happy hunting ground for India in the recent past. Dhoni would be hoping to change that fact. Can he do that? Watch the live streaming of the 2nd Test to find out.

India vs Afghanistan Live Cricket Streaming

India will play its first match of the ICC World Twenty20 Cup today at the Beausejour Stadium in the island country of St Lucia. The India vs Afghanistan match is generating a lot of interest thanks to the curiosity surrounding the cricket team from Afghanistan.

Afghanistan has been the cricket world's newest success story. In the last few years, if there is one new team which has really risen, it is Afghanistan. They won the ICC T20 World Cup Qualifying tournament to make it to the current World Cup happening in West Indies.

India, on the other hand, are one of the tournament favourites. The Indians are now amongst the most experienced T20 players in the world thanks to the IPL. But the IPL may have also left the Indian cricketers fatigued.

Kolkata Knight Riders New Purple Jersey: IPL 2010

The Shahrukh Khan co-owned Kolkata Knight Riders team has not had a very happy time in the two previous editions of the IPL. While they have during both the previous IPLs been the most talked about team, thanks to the star power of SRK and the controversies around Ganguly, their ex-coach John Buchanan and the multiple-captain theory, their performance on the cricket field has not been much to speak about.

Probably that's what has triggered the team management to go for a change of colours. For IPL 2010, the Kolkata Knight Riders are all set to come out in a new colour: PURPLE. Yes, the KKR team have decided to shed their 'gold and black' coloured jerseys and go for 'purple' - probably expecting that the new colour will bring them better luck.

Let's hope that the Purple Knights will do better in IPL 2010. All the best, SRK and Dada!
