Best catch in ODI history

Amazing Catch By India Team

Yuvraj Singh in MVP race with Virender Sehwag

Yuvraj Singh was the most valuable player (MVP) in the recently-concluded Sri Lanka - India ODI series, but Virender Sehwag continues to be India's most valuable ODI player so far in the 2008-09 season.

The MVP index (MVPI) is calculated based on the assumption that, in ODI cricket, batsmen offer the best value if they score a lot of runs with good strike rates; bowlers if they take a lot of wickets at good (low) economy rates and fielders if they take the most catches or make the most run outs. The MVPI collapses the player's all-round performance into a single 'run equivalent'.

Kumar Sangakkara (MVPI = 318) is the only Sri Lankan to figure in the top five, in a series that saw dominating performances from Yuvraj, Dhoni , Sehwag and Gambhir.

It is especially interesting to note that Ishant Sharma took the most wickets (10) in the ODI series; one tends to think of Ishant more as a top Test match bowler.

Sachin Tendulkar , who was India's most valuable ODI player last season, is at the bottom of the list after being a victim of three poor umpiring decisions. It's unlikely that something like this will ever happen again. For more info please click here

India's Harbhajan Singh on Tuesday came under a fresh attack by Australian cricketers

India's Harbhajan Singh on Tuesday came under a fresh attack by Australian cricketers with opener Matthew Hayden calling the off-spinner an "obnoxious little weed", a remark which has the potential to create more bad blood between the two teams.

The Indian spinner, who was at the centre of a racism row involving Andrew Symonds, has borne the brunt of the Australian sledging during the explosive tour which has been marked by a series of verbal exchanges between rival players.

"Its been a bit of a long battle with Harbhajan, the first time I ever met him he was the same little obnoxious weed that he is now", Hayden said on Brisbane radio.

"His record speaks for itself in cricket. There is a certain line that you can kind of go to and then you know where you push it and he just pushes it all the time.

"That's why he has been charged more than anyone that's ever played in the history of cricket," Hayden said. Hayden's fresh salvo came a day after the Indian team management lodged a written complaint with Match Referee Jeff Crowe regarding Australia players' "provocative" behaviour.

Hayden and Harbhajan were involved in an ugly tussle at the SCG on Sunday with the Indians claiming that the Australian opener had termed the Indian a "mad boy."

However, Hayden made light of the incident and claimed India was complaining because "they are losing every game they are playing."

"I called him a bad boy," Hayden insisted.

"He took offence to that, I thought that was quite funny. I said mate you should be flattered, it's a clothing range," Hayden said.

Meanwhile, former Australian fast bowler Rodney Hogg also lashed out at the Indians.

"Ive really had a gutful of their whinging, this is international sport, obviously people are going to say things to try to unsettle you," Hogg said.

"It's not tiddlywinks. So long as it's not racial they shouldn't have a problem.

"As far as I am concerned if the heat is too hot in the kitchen then that's too bad.

"I reckon they should appoint an Asian referee for Indian games because when it's a non-Asian referee nothing against Jeff Crowe they never feel as if they are being listened to."

Hayden said he had told Ishant Sharma to settle down and on Monday quipped he would like to meet the stringbean paceman in a boxing ring.

"He is just young. I have said to him many times, you are 19, take it easy, Hayden said.

"At the end of the day you are 19, why dont you just worry about your bowling for a while," he added.

Dilshan guides Sri Lanka to easy win

Tillakaratne Dilshan's unbeaten 62 helped Sri Lanka cruise to an easy eight-wicket victory against India on the Duckworth-Lewis method in their rain-shortened fifth one-day international of the CB tri-series one-day international at Manuka Oval in Canberra on Tuesday.

Put into bat, India rattled up 195 for five in the allotted 29 overs after play began late due to rain but the islanders overhauled a revised target of 154 in 21 overs with 12 balls to spare.

The Sri Lankans took full advantage of batting second as they chased the revised target without much fuss to keep themselves afloat in the series, riding on contributions from Tillakaratne Dilshan (62 not out) and Sanath Jayasuriya (27 off 13 balls).

Young Rohit Sharma gave ample display of his class with an unbeaten 70 while Gautam Gambhir (35) Sachin Tendulkar (32) and captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni (31) came up with useful contributions but all their efforts went in vain as another rain interruption immediately after the Indian innings made the equation under the Duckworth-Lewis method easier for the Lankans.

With this victory, Sri Lanka managed to keep themselves in the reckoning by taking their points tally to six from three matches.

India continued to maintain their position at the top of the table with eight points from four matches while Australia have seven points from three matches.

The action will now shift to Perth where Sri Lanka will take on Australia in a day-night encounter on Friday.

Jayasuriya provided a flying start to the Lankan chase as he blasted 27 off 13 balls with two fours and two sixes. The left-hander looked in devastating form and scored 23 in one over from S Sreesanth before being dismissed by Ishant Sharma.

Harbhajan Singh then tokk Sangakkara's wicket (10) but that hardly affected the Lankan run-rate.

Rain came down hard on India as first it intervened to have the game reduced to 29 overs-a-side which further tilted in Lanka's favour when the target, due to another spell of rain, was readjusted to 154 from 21 overs.

Earlier, Indians did enough to post a healthy 195 from their 29 overs with young Rohit Sharma providing the maximum thrust.

Sharma, who took 20 balls for his first 10 runs, struck some lusty blows to finish unbeaten on 70 off 64 balls. He shared a rollicking 68-run fourth wicket stand with skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni (31) to take toll of the bowling in the final few overs.

The start of the match was delayed for more than three and a half hours because of heavy morning showers and the match was reduced to 29-overs-a-side. Further rain at the end of the Indian innings saw Sri Lanka being set a revised target of 154 in 21 overs.

The Indian innings got off the mark only off the last ball of the second over before Sachin Tendulkar (32) settled into a groove to coax 45 for the first wicket with Virender Sehwag (14).

Starting with hitting Chaminda Vaas over extra-cover, the veteran played some sweet strokes, including a swept four off Vaas from outside the off-stump.

Tendulkar flicked Lasith Malinga for a four and then pulled Maharoof for another before losing his opening partner, who slashed at a delivery from medium-pacer Nuwan Kulasekara and was caught easily by the third man fielder.

Tendulkar himself departed four runs later in a similar manner when he tried to hit Fervez Maharoof through the mid-on region, but top edged it to third man. He got his runs from 30 balls and hit four fours.

Gautam Gambhir (35) and Rohit Sharma then put on 64 for the third wicket with some brisk running between the wickets before the former backed too far and was run out by bowler Lasith Malinga via a throw from point fielder Tillakeratne Dilshan.

India, who were 113 for 3 after the 22nd over, really opened out thereafter and the signal for it came from Rohit who hoisted Muttiah Muralitharan over midwicket for a massive six.

His partner Dhoni then freed his shoulders by first slamming Maharoof over extra cover and then straight drove him powerfully for yet another boundary in the same over.

India benefitted with two more fours in the next over, first Dhoni driving Chaminda Vaas into the long-off pickets and then Sharma sweetly sweeping the experienced left-arm paceman to the fine-leg fence.

At the end of the 25th over, India had moved to 152 for three.

The 26th over by Kulasekara began with Rohit driving over mid-off for a four and then steering the next over the wicketkeeper for another boundary, reaching his half-century from 53 balls with the help of four boundaries and a six.

The half-century stand between the two came from 35 balls.

Indian team never chartered a plane for return: official

An Indian cricket team official on Wednesday rubbished reports that they had chartered a plane to fly back home on Tuesday, in case Harbhajan Singh was not exonerated from the racial slur charges.

Dismissing the reports, MK Sridhar, team's spokesperson, said after arriving in Melbourne on Wednesday that there was no such plan. India will take on Australia in a Twnety20 match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Friday.

"I do not know where that came from," he said at Melbourne airport. "There was no thinking like that at all."

Referring to Harbhajan's acquittal from the racial abuse charges against Andrew Symonds, Sridhar said that the team was looking forward to the upcoming one-day series against Australia and Sri Lanka.

"After what happened yesterday (Tuesday), we're going forward so that the game goes on," he said.

The one-day series looked in jeopardy after India had threatened to pull out in the wake of racial abuse charges on Harbhajan during the Sydney Test.

Harbhajan was acquitted of the racial abuse charges on Tuesday and was instead found guilty of verbal abuse

that would mean deduction of 50 per cent of his match fee.
