Three legends of world cricket meet in Melbourne

In Melbourne yesterday three legends had a meet up. Former Australian spinner Shane Warne caught up with Indian cricketers Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid, who are in Australia ahead of the Test series.
It was treat to watch all three legends together after quite a long time.

"Nice to catch up with my 2 good friends Rahul & Sachin - they wished me and the @StarsBBL boys all the best," Warne, who will represent Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash League, wrote on Twitter. .

Sachin and Dravid are among the members of the Indian team who left for Australia before team's official departure, for preparing well for the tour.  
India play Australia in 4 Tests, 2 T20s and a tri-series. The first Test starts on December 26.
Team Angles of sport wishes Indian team all the best for the tour of Australia. Hope Sachin gets his 100th century against the mighty aussies. With a 3-1 victory in the cricket continent.

Super Sehwag proves there's nothing in a cricket field he couldn't do...!!!


"Nawab of najafgarh" Virender Sehwag becomes only the second batsman after Sachin Tendulkar in ODIs to score a double-century.
It took nearly four decades for a batsman to score the first double-century in one-day international cricket but less than two years for the second. Virender Sehwag, the batsman most touted to break Sachin Tendulkar's record for the highest individual ODI score, didn't merely break it - he shattered it and raised the bar so high that it's hard to imagine anyone, apart from Sehwag himself, raising it higher..

Very unlike as Tendulkar in Gwalior last year , Sehwag wasn't running out of time as he raced towards 200 in Indore. He got there in the 44th over and had made 219 off 149 balls by the time he was dismissed in the 47th. And in one of cricket's stranger coincidences, both ODI double-centuries were scored in the same Indian state - Madhya Pradesh - at venues less than 500 kilometres apart.
Sehwag's performance led India to 418 for 5, their highest ODI total, and sealed victory in the five-match series against West Indies. It was an innings characteristic of Sehwag's approach to batting. He hit his second ball for four and simply did not stop. He took plenty of risks too, surviving two run-out chances and two dropped catches, but thundered on, ensuring India's run-rate stayed above seven after the 15th over. Sehwag's only out-of-character moment came in the 20th over, when he dived to avoid being run out. Sehwag never dives. It was a sign that he was determined to stay the course. He went to 50 off 41 balls, to 100 off 69 balls, to 150 off 112 and past 200 off 140. The record was broken with a withering cut that sped to the backward-point boundary, and he celebrated with an aggressive fist-pump before breaking into a smile.



Team Angles of sport wishes Virender Sehwag and we hope there's much more of this kind to come again and again to entertain the cricket fans. 
As the Series is been won we can see irfan pathan getting a chance in the last odi. Then Indian batting will be much stronger. Only question is will Irfan makes this platform to make his comeback to the International arena we have to wait and watch.
