आदरणीय भाईसाहब
सादर प्रणाम
आपके रोचक लेख को पढ कर मन सदा ही प्रसन्न हो जाता है एकाध फोटो जोड़ने से उत्साह और भी बढ जाता है ।
मिले सुर मेरा तुम्हारा
तो सुर बने हमारा ..
यह पंक्तियां सदा ही हमारे एक होने के संकेत देती है, सुरेन्द्रनाथ जी अवश्य ही धन्यवाद के पात्र है - अगर किसी को इस मधुर रचना की नैट पर कोई लिंक ज्ञात है तो यहा लिख भेजें ।
कल नागपुर में भारत की जीत से कुछ एक बातें उभर कर समने आती हैं -
1. आस्ट्रेलिया जैसी सशक्त टीम भी चोटिल खिलाड़ियों की परेशानी से बाधित हो सकती है ।
2. महेन्द्र सिंह धोनी उर्ह माही उर्फ़ धोनी भैया उर्फ़ कप्तान साहब .. (यह आखिरी मेरा अपना जोड़ा हुआ है ) ने एक बार फिर सिद्ध कर दिया है कि वे वस्तव में मात्र भाग्यशाली कप्तान ही नही एक प्रभावशाली कप्तान भी है ।
3. भारत ने सात विकेट पर 354 रन बनाकर, 350 रन से अधिक का लक्ष्य आस्ट्रेलिया जैसी टीम के विरुद्ध पहली बार यह अजूबा कर दिखाया है ।
4. प्रवीण कुमार को तेज गेंदबाज न कहें तो न कहें पर आस्ट्रेलिया के बल्लेबाजों को जिस तरह उन्होने बांधें रखा अपने आप में काबिले तारीफ है । धोनी भैया कम से कम अब तो मान जाओ कि वह एक अच्छा क्रिकेटर है ।
5. हरभजन सिंह की गेंदबाजी उस दौर से गुजर चुकी है जब वे बल्लेबाजों को छकाने में कामयाब हो सकें ।
6. अच्छी से अच्छी टीम के 350 से उपर का लक्ष्य देखकर हाथ पांव फूल जाते है ।
7. अगर टीम को अच्छी शुरुआत मिले तो भारत आसानी से 350 रन से अधिक बनाने में सक्षम है, अगर मै गलत नही हूं तो हमारी टीम इस मामले में आस्ट्रेलिया से भी आगे है ।
चलिये आज का पत्र यहीं समप्त करता हूं, सहवाग, गंभीर, धोनी, रैना, प्रवीण कुमार तथा रविंद्र जडेजा सब के सब ही मैन आफ दी मैच थे । टीम को एकजुट देखकर अत्यंत प्रसन्नता हुई ।
मेरा भी योगदान रहा, मैने कल भारतीय पारी 10.1ओवर के बाद इसलिये देखना छोड़ दी कि खिलाड़ियों को मेरी नज़र न लग जाये ।
आपका अपना अनुज

Match Report, Nagpur ODI - October 28 2009
Respected Brother
Sadar Charan Sparsh
India has crossed the 350 or more runs on the board for the twelfth time (most by any team) and only team to score that batting first against Australia..
This is the third time in this calendar year that team India has crossed the mark.. they earlier scored 363 and 392 against Srilanka and New Zealand in February
India has done it thrice against each of the Sri Lanka and Newzealand
India has a highest total of 413 for 5 against Bernuda in the 2007 world cup.. it was a different matter that they were eliminated at the group stage in that tournament
India does not have a score of 350 plus only against South Africa of the top eight world teams
Out of the 12 occasions only thrice did team score 350 plus runs against minnows i.e. on nine occasions they achieved the feat against top cricket playing countries
India has achieved this feat five times under Mahendra Singh Dhoni's leadership
Congratulations team India.. I would not mind considering lifting a ban on myself to not to watch ODI cricket.. but don't ask me to watch Test cricket as well.. ungli thama raha hoon kalaai hi mat thaam lena or else I would be forced to sing..
dheere dheere kalai lage thaamane
inko ungli thamana gazab ho gaya ...
Love you all

Dhoni to Surprise Ponting
Respected Brother
Sadar Charan Sparsh
Now that you are beating most of us in sending post after post… eh in some competition with Angel or likes of her.. anyway.. this is not a complaint, it never can be a complain..
The more I think.. the more I realsie that it is not easy to come up with creative bust on the blog.. the more I read.. the more I find that people are here for more than just fun.. some try to propagate their own languages too.. that is noting wrong.. it might be of some help for those qho really wish to learn German.. I hope I have thanked the contributor without breaching my self-imposed restriction of naming individulas.. yet my German experience has to wait.. I may prefer to first get my hands on to Bangla.. oh no, not for the living but for some of the immortals that Bengal produced.. How fortunate I would consider myself if I could someday read Gitanjali in Bangla or even Sharat Literature in the language it originally emanated from. wishes.. Well, Genie can you make me a Bangala Aladin.. I shall feel indebted to you even if do not pay or offer any alms..lol
Good to see that some Sanjib Guha on DNA expressed my own sentiments regarding the ODI tourney in progress or should we say that has barely begun.. I have had a change of heart.. I shall not mind ODI if it could replace the Test cricket.. if they say test cricket is the real test of nerves.. ODI is just proving out to be reflecting that same feeling.. the bowlers and batters both have to apply themselves to tasks at hand.. what I know now is that Dhoni may after all be reading me and needing some help.. oh no, not my help as a bowler but as a strategist.. surprise.. that is the word I would like to whisper into his ears.. even if the Ponting too reads this he would just know that some surprises are coming.. what surprises.. I can not elaborate.. he has to do that himself in consultation with his senior players like Sehwag and Yuvraj.. no. no if he does wants to incorporate as naive as a Virat or Ravindra into his think tank there is absolutely no harm.. The think tank could be deciding on what composition they paly.. on what batting order they evolve.. more importantly plan for each players fielding abilities and expectations from him.. there is no stopping to work out on such issues as who bowls when and who bats where besides who chooses to be i or out of the circle during power plays.. these Dhoni bhaiya are some of the questions tha should concern team India..
Go ahead and play your best cricket.. I am not miffed at the loss at Vadodara.. now, if Bombay has to be categorically Mumbai why Baroda can’t be also only Vadodara.. it is all right.. What new name have they suggested for Nagpur.. Oh they haven’t done it as yet.. I am sorry.. snaketown would be the literal translation.. santara nagar could specify some of its innate attributes.. what else.. does it really matter.. if Nagpur were to be aprt of an IPL team they could also come up with Nagpur Netters.. oh it does not mean well.. do names have always supposed to reveal some significance.. I did not know.. hardly live upto the name that has been given to me.. many Sukhrams provide lots of dukh and some of the nainsukhs hardly able to see.. aankh ke andhe naam nainsukh.. where am I going.. stop..
Love and hopefully India does well tomorrow.. as i would not be watching the first half for sure.. I am from a working class Yaar.. I say this as many of the games which I see India does quite badly.. in the opener Harbhajan and Praveen could do well only after I went to sleep.. if they want me to sleep to win.. I shall do that for Nagpur game too.. I sorely need some good sleep too..

त्रिकोणीय श्रंखला में विजय
Congratulations Brother!
For team India won an important game ahead of some more tough tournaments coming up later..
It was nearly a total India participation - lookNorth - Harbhajan, Yuvraj & RainaEast - Mahendra Singh DhoniWest - Sachin TendulakrSouth - Rahul Dravid
As many as six players gave away some of the stellar performance in the win.. and for the first time I saw that Dhoni did listen to my plan maybe you told him it was your wish (moderator of the blog) that he wshould experiment with theslow bowlers.. I had sensed the way Malinga had been taken for runs that the wicket was a batsman’s paradise only slow bowlers could do something to contain or buy wickets.. Raina was a good contributor.. even in the Compaq cup winning my question to MSD.. what does Pravee Kumar do more to find a place in the playing XI..Congratulations to Padmshree Harbhajan Singh for coming up trumps at the crucial times.. if the wickets which he took were not taken India could have lost despite having 320 plus on the board.. he was ably supported by Yuvraj and Raina in the spin bowling department..
Yet the special salutation goes to the master blaster the Black (Oriental) Bradman - the one and only one Sachin Tendulakr.. I would not deny that he has proved me wrong.. I had been advocating that he has played enough of cricket he should take some rest.. not any more.. he could give good competition to Viru and Gauti of the Delhi for the openers slot.. it is very heartening to see him perform like a champion even at this age.. the physical makeup does get a faster wear and tear in sports with age than in Cinema.. that he has no chance of a retake to improve his shot.. he is a great performer by any standards.. best of luck for champions trophy and the champions league..
हिंदी दिवस होने के नाते मै भारतीय टीम को विजय के इस अवसर पर अपनी बधाई हिदी में भी देना चाहूंगा, आज जिस प्रकार के खेल का प्रदर्शन सभी खिलाड़ियों ने किया वह अत्यंत ही सराहनीय था, आप सब प्रशंसा के पात्र है आशा है आने वाले दिनों में भी आप सब एकजुट होकर खेलेंगे तथा कुछ रोमांचक मैच हमें देखने को मिल सकेंगें । यहां यह बताना यथोचित होगा कि खेल में एक की जीत तथा दूसरे की हार तो लगभग सुनिश्चित होती है तथापि सही खेल भावना के साथ किया गया प्रदर्शन हार-जीत के फैसले से बढ़कर है । आज टीम ने कुल मिलाकर अच्छा प्रदर्शन किया अगर संयोगवश हार भी जाते तो अभय शर्मा का दिल दुखी नही होता जैसा कि विश्व कप 2007 में या हाल ही में टी20 चैम्पियन्शिप में कभी हुआ था । धोनी भैया तुमसे मुझे कोई बैर थोड़े ही है, पर हां, सहवाग तथा प्रवीण कुमार प्रतिभाशाली खिलाड़ी है अकारण उन्हे अवसर नही देना कुछ ठीक नही लगता, वैसे अब मै कह सकता हूं कि तुम्हारी रणनीति कारगर है , टीम का चयन अपने हिसाब से ही करो, मै क्या जानूं कि किस में कितना है दम । सभी लड़कों को एक बार फिर हमारी तरफ़ से अनेकों बधाई ।अभय शर्मा

AAR-PAAR Cricket
( I envy Shanouk.. arrey bhaunkata kyun hai bhaai.. main teri jagah nahi le sakata.. ) Respected Brother
Sadar Charan Sparsh
Today morning I gave some more thoughts to the team Allahabad All-Rounders and can disclose only the minimum players over here lest some of the owners and players themselves may get into making life difficult for idea to get into reality..
The parts which I can discuss without much impact -
Owner - Amitabh Bachchan/ Abhishek Bachchan
Partner - Aditya Birla ( Anil Ambani was the initial choice yet I avoided him as then buying back some of the players from Mumbai Indians might become a controversy)
Cricket Coach - Kapil Dev and Ravi Shastri if they are available - Mohinder Amarnath could be a beautiful choice as well!
Captain - Michael Clarke
Besides some of the top UP players the team could start off with buying 10 Indian players and 10 foreign players preferably from one from each of the cricket playing country..
My list of players may not necessarily be identical with what might surface with you, cricket coach and captain designate but I am definitely of the opinion to include Mohammad Kaif in the ten from India.. Is he not born somewhere in Allahabad as well.. I also wish Suresh Raina and Praveen Kumar could be bought back from their respective franchisees..Oh! am I discloseing more than I should.. I must curtail my thought process before I spill too much of the beans..
I have a feeling that the last week at IPL was arguably the best week the cricketing tournament had so far.. I only wish that the remaining five games and semi-finals and the finals match in the intensity.. unlike last year where the semi-finals and finals appeared as more lull games than some of the league phase in 2008...
With two games each for Delhi Daredevils and Royal Challenge Bangalore the others have only one more game left before the league gets over.. they too would have only one game each after the game in the evening.. I thought I could be impartial.. it is inhuman to be impartial.. man ny nature has to have strong likings and disliking .. How can I be an exception.. till Allahabad All-Rounders takes shape I would continue my support to one Virender Sehwag.. only I know it would nearly be impossible to buy him into the side as he is the icon player for DD..
Let me summarize the tournaments 51 games.. The last one turned out to be the best than all its competing games most of which took place during the last seven days or so..
Most Likely team to lift the IPL trophy - Delhi Daredevils
Most likely player of the tournament (India)- Rohit Sharma/Suresh Raina/Yuvraj Singh
Most likely player of the tournament (Overseas) - Matthew Hayden/Adam Gilchrist/AB de Villiers
Most runs in the tournament - Matthew Hayden/AB de Villiers
Most wickets in the tournament - Ashish Nehra/Rudra Pratap Singh
Most catches in the tournament - AB de Villiers
Most dismissals (Wicket Keeper) - Adam Gilchrist/Dinesh Karthik
The most impressive new player (India) - Shadab Jakati/Naman Ojha
The most impressive new player (Overseas) - Jean Paul Duminy
The most impressive spinner of the tournament - Pragyan Ojha/ Anil Kumble/ Muralitharan
The most impressive all rounder of the tournament - Suresh Raina/Jean Paul Duminy/Rohit Sharma
I know that I have this bad habit of dragging too deep into every issue yet this should help you in making some of your decisions.. if at all you do get motivated enough to float Allahabad All-rounders in the first place.. it would definitely be a good idea sir ji !
Love AAR it could also be called AAR-PAAR The second part is only for rhyming and quite a useful Indian phrase in terms of sporting including cricket...
I do not buy any theories that came forward in support of test cricket.. by international players in DNA today.. It is a dead cricket for me much before.. In fact I would not mind writing the story Death of Test Cricket.. but then I am not a pessimist I would rather choose to write the book .. The Birth of New Cricket - Twenty20 .. ( I know my dear friend Tumpa is all smiles today.. so must be Kashmir di.. and lots and lots of Bengal cricket lovers.. KKR turns the tables on CSK in the most thrilling encounter that was played less than 24 hours back.. I am happy for them all..)
Abhaya India May 20 2009 10:30 AM IST
Post Script: I have decided the most impressive twenty players for your T20 team, and my young son Amrit (10) took part in it.. He did support some players yet wanted some very strong players who may not be available for different reasons.. You could call me at 9869258653.. ( Agar aap iski jaroorat samajhe tabhi.. I know you would do a fine job of owning the new team all on your own..)

Crack of a match - the 43rd game
Delhi or no tream could have ever won it this one in its dream.. not from the situations like 149 for 3 .. it will always haunt Gilchrist what his team went through in those last three overs.. to finish as 161 all out and loose the game by 12 runs..
We know that Delhi has won it by 12 runs and sort of created a history by winning the games away when niether Viru nor gambhir have really made big contributions.. here is what I wrote to Amitabh Bachchan at the end of the game..
Oh! My Dearest Brother!
Sadar Charan Sparsh,
Are you in competition with me.. for writing such long posts.. there is a difference.. your posts are extremely valuable and contain ricj substance and information for most of us unlike the ones I just keep dragging for I do not know where to stop..
It was very heartening to see the post.. I shall read it in its entirety later in the day.. I did get to read about Sir Khwaja Ahmed Abbas.. and oh I too read a lot of Blitz and Screen mostly at the Barber's shop while waiting for a hair-cut.. Indeed what you speak of the times and terms of Khwaja Ahmed Abbas must be quite true.. His saat Hindustani was a great reflection of his vision.. It is sad that some 40 years later we have no one to take Hindi where it needs to be .. It is all right I do not want you to spoil your sleep over it.. main Hindi se itna pyaar karta hoon phir bhi aaj tak maine hi kabhi is baat ki taraf itana dhyaan nahi diya jitana jarrori hai.. chalo khair hindustan ek mahaan desh hai.. mujhe aur un sabko maaf kar dega jo use khud ki ek rashtrabhasha nahi de paaye..
The match was quite an anti-climax.. I expected Viru to hit the leather to all parts.. yet it was Gilly and Symo who tore it apart to different parts.. and what an unbelievable turn around in the match 149 for three to 161 all out in a space of 17 balls.. yes it was no less than an attempt to harakiri by trhe Deccan men.. They did not deserve to loose the game after such powerful reply by the two aussie known for changing the scenario when chips are down.. today their efforts were let down collectively by the Deccan batsmen. yet I must also add here that it was no ordinary effort from Bhatia, Sangwan and to some extent the fielders in the deep.. de Villiers was quite outstanding.. and of course Dinesh Karthiks last minute fireworks brought some life into the Delhi camp at the end of their innings.. A score taht was quite defendable was about to be torn apart with 2 to three overs to spare.. the way Gilchrist and later Symonds took charge upon themselves.. I am ashamed to say that i did not witness the great knock by Gilchrist as I lost interest in the game.. I was quite sure that 174 was some 30 runs short.. the way Gilchrist batted.. Sangwan according to me had bowled more superbly and I would have picked him my man of the match.. imagine someone sending down a maiden when other bowlers were bleeding terribly from the Gilchristeria and later Symondosis but it was the bhatiaphoid that Deccan could not recover from and lost the game by 12 runs..
Hopefully, in the next game Sehwag would open up and pay some heed to my today's earlier request.. a blitkreig from his bat is long overdue..
Love and yes the pictures are quite nice.. thanks for sharing them..

I expected Viru to hit the leather to all parts.. yet it was Gilly and Symo who tore it apart to different parts.. and what an unbelievable turn around in the match 149 for three to 161 all out in a space of 17 balls.. yes it was no less than an attempt to harakiri by trhe Deccan men.. They did not deserve to loose the game after such powerful reply by the two aussie known for changing the scenario when chips are down.. today their efforts were let down collectively by the Deccan batsmen. yet I must also add here that it was no ordinary effort from Bhatia, Sangwan and to some extent the fielders in the deep.. de Villiers was quite outstanding.. and of course Dinesh Karthiks last minute fireworks brought some life into the Delhi camp at the end of their innings.. A score taht was quite defendable was about to be torn apart with 2 to three overs to spare.. the way Gilchrist and later Symonds took charge upon themselves.. I am ashamed to say that i did not witness the great knock by Gilchrist as I lost interest in the game.. I was quite sure that 174 was some 30 runs short.. the way Gilchrist batted.. Sangwan according to me had bowled more superbly and I would have picked him my man of the match.. imagine someone sending down a maiden when other bowlers were bleeding terribly from the Gilchristeria and later Symondosis but it was the bhatiaphoid that Deccan could not recover from and lost the game by 12 runs..
Hopefully, in the next game Sehwag would open up and pay some heed to my today's earlier request.. a blitkreig from his bat is long overdue..
Love and yes the pictures are quite nice.. thanks for sharing them..

Let us have some Viro-Technics tonight..
Respected Brother
Sadar Charan Sparsh
I take the privilege of addressing Virender sehwag here on this platform.. I know some of the boys might just be reading the blog here than the well documented writings on my blogs and website.. so here I go..
Dear Viru,
This is Ahaya Sharma, a KVIAN like you who requests you to come into your best elements tonight as quickly as you can.. why.. The tournament has been hijacked by some scintillating performances from Hayden, Gilchrist, Symonds and even Duminy's though in his diminutive style.. even Bravo and Smith have done far better than some of the Indians and day before yesterday we saw New Zealand stars coming into their elements.. AB de Villiers has a century against his name and some of the others from India who have made their presence felt in the form of Suresh Raina ( who missed the century for none of his faults) and to a lesser extent Yusuf Pathan and Yuvraj Singh and Rohit Sharma (though more with the ball than the bat..) it s time that someone of your stature take a note of these disturbing facts.. whose tournament this IPL is.. does it belong to India or to Australia and the rest of the world and not so much to India.. true some of the Indians have bowled quite well in RP, Jakati and lately even Bhajji and surprisingly Rohit Dharma and Suresh Raina.
I assume your stitches have healed well.. you did take quite long to get into action.. don't sit out and watch Symonds Gilchrist or even Gibbs hoisting the limited yet effective bowling attack that DD possesses give them back something in return.. come send the leather for some hunting.. just tear apart any attack that Gilly stews in his backyard.. let him also know that when it comes to big hitting there can not be a better answer than Virender Shwag in the world of cricket.. a long strong and great knock is what is least expected from you tonight.. it is upto you if you choose to set the stadium ablaze with your kind of firebrand cricket.. Don't let your great admirers in the lurch and feel otherwise that with the IPL gone to South Africa.. Indians forgot the art of stroke-making and scoring brisk runs against their names..
Don't yopu allow the RP or Vaas to settle down or give some breathing space to even a Suman a Sharma or a Rao.. just give them a feeling of that helplessness of how to bowl a good line or a length to you.. just show them what kind of guts it takes for them to bowl to someone like Sehwag at his best..
If not now then when.. take this from me that Deccans are going to be the opponent in the semi-finals.. so let them have a rehearsal of what Delhi's daredevilry is all about.. and yes I do feel that it is not wise to dislodge the opening pair that has been forged in your absence.. You could come one or two down wherever you feel you could do the maximum damage.. let Deccans be surprised with the highest score of the tournament if they dare to put Delhi into bat.. yet if you do win the toss opt to field first.. Delhi has been doing quite well batting second..
Finally, My team for today's game.. You have the full rights to change it to your likings and understanding.. as I told you I have only been an ovserver where as you guys are doing the job in the middle.. yet here is my choice..
Gambhir, Warner, Sehwag, AB de Villiers, Tiwary, Karthik, Maharoof, Mishra, Sangwan, Nehra, McGrath ( or Nannes or Vettori if McGrath feels it better that way.. do seek his opinion..)
The presence of McGrath could come a bit handy while planning a coup against the batting powers of Symonds and Gilchrist.. so if you do think it appropriate give the old man hs first game.. he deserves it a great deal..
Best of luck dear.. though I do not feel very good of the chances of Delhi pulling ths one from the Deccans who just might play Gibbs ahead of Vaas or Smith.. and yes Rohit is bowling quite well.. preserve against him.. yet Suman can be hoisted to whichever part of the ground you feel like to send him.. the two should be not allowed to bowl more than five overs between them.. Have a great day.. I wish to see Delhi at the top of best performances in the table of best/worst performances beating the 211 mark set by Royals..
Bye for now.. go get into the act of fearless stroke making and do not get bogged down by the praise that has been heaped upon you.. you deserve every chance to score the fast runs to take Delhi further ahead.. non-stoppable status in the IPL 2009. For me a half-century or a century has no meaning, I want that you make quick runs.. say a quickfire 60 or 70 in some 30 odd balls..
