Batsman of this world cup!!!!!

Now, as the practice matches has kick started, and we are moving ahead to the opening ceremony of the ICC WORLD CUP 2011, everyone is predicting the favorites of this world cup. Most of the cricket pundits are predicting a golden chance for India, as they are one of the host.

I am not going to predict any winner of this world cup, as it will be injustice to the other 13 teams. But i will surely discuss with you about the batsman you should look forward to in this world cup.
Now most of you will be thinking that, why i am discussing about the batsman. The simple reason behind it is that the world cup is going to be played on subcontinent pitches, which are going to be flat track, and with some juice in starting of the competition but as we progress ahead in tournament it is going to get dried and slow down. Certainly, making this world cup as a run feast for spectators.
I am going to discuss about top 5 batsman, for which you should look forward to it.

On number 5th i am placing Shane Watson of Australia. No one can't forget his heroic performance for Rajasthan Royals in inaugural IPL. He has the ability to snatch victory from jaws of defeats. This Oz player is certainly perfect for 50 over game format. Even in practice match against India, his shorts and timing certainly impressed me.

On number 4th, its Chris Gale of West Indies. This Caribbean player can't be ignored. His performance in test match against Srilanka was simply amazing. He is in top form of his life, and he does have ability to take west Indies on the victory podium. He is a moody player, and opposition will be praying that his mood is not that good on the match day.

Pakistan. But performance against New Zealand, has twisted the tale. On his day, he is unstoppable. And as Imran Khan has predicted that, Pakistan is Under-dog team. Its now responsibility of Captain of Pakistan team, BOOM BOOM AFRIDI, to repeat history after 20 years. But I will recommend you that, look for this batsman in this world cup.

RICKY POINTING

On number 2nd, its Ricky Pointing. He showed his form in practice match against India by hitting important but yet not enough, half century. He is certainly in form. This is his last world cup. And as a captain he must be looking forward to win this world cup to complete a ha-trick of world cup, and he will become first captain in history of this game, to win the cup 3 times in a row. But remember, there is no fairy tale in Sports.

No World Cup tournament discussion is complete without master blaster, god in himself, Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. Sachin's dream is to be the part of world cup winning squad. He has achieved so many things in his life, but a world cup, is still not in his reach till 2011. He had played only 2 ODIs in 2010. He has saved his best game of life for this world cup. He has more than 30000 international runs, and close to 100 centuries on his name. Every captain dreams to have such a player in their squad. He is in best fitness of his life. There is no fairy tale in sports. Can Sachin Change this belief?

The Battle of Longewala

After drifting for approximately thousand kilometers from Alwar, I have reached Longewala. This place romanticizes me allot. The battle of Longewala a legend in itself. It is located at 120 kms from city of Jaisalmer. Only way to reach this place is boulevard and if you are tourist then you have to hire a cab. Longewala is prevalent because of the illustrious skirmish tussled between India and Pakistan in 1971. The clash of Longewala is all about how hundred odd men clogged and overwhelmed approximately 2000 Pakistani legionnaires. This battle was all about the audacity, impetus, chauvinism and drive to prizefight exhibited by those eighty Indian warriors. This scuffle is one of my favorite scuffles, and whenever I come to this place, my mind start envisaging how horde of men repudiated the destiny. During the Indo-Pak war of 1971, A-Coy of 23 Punjab had taken up the defences at Longewala. The A-Coy company commander was Major Kuldeep Singh Chandpuri later on emer...

IS THIS TRUTH OR ANOTHER COMEDY BY PAKISTAN ARMY????

Kashmir War 1947 - 49 By November 1947 Auchinleck, Supreme Commander based in New Delhi, being convinced that Indian Cabinet was seeking to destroy and undo Pakistan by economic and military means, was forced to resign. As the build-up of Indian forces in Jammu and Kashmir continued, Pakistan Army units were being hurriedly organized and equipped without any base for manufacture of ammunition, signal stores, equipment or vehicles. Simultaneously, Pakistan National Guards were raised from ex-servicemen and other volunteers along border areas to provide a second line of defence. By February 1948 Indian build up in Jammu and Kashmir reached five brigades plus, under two full-fledged division Headquarters. Our 101 Brigade, commanded by Brigadier Akbar Khan was rushed into the critical front to forestall and halt the Indian offensive along Uri-Muzaffarabad axis. In April 1948, Commander-in-Chief Pakistan Army appreciating the threats in the north along Muzaffarabad-Kohala...
