Time to Erase Wound !

    Indian Cricket team before the start of one day series against Australia had chance to become number ODI team by defeating Australia but it not happened because India lost the series 4-2 from Australia and slip to number three which hurt countless cricket fans, now Sri Lanka’s cricket team is in India to play three test matches, Five One day Matches and two T20 Matches and for Indian Cricket team test Matches are very important because if they beat Sri Lanka 2-0 then India will become number one test team which will be first time in the history of Indian cricket team that they will be number one but to beat Sri Lankan cricket team it’s the players who have to perform on the ground and nothing else will work like wishes, huge presence of crowd in the grounds or luck or big names it wont make any much difference to beat opposition team. Today first match started and itinerary of the three test matches are-

1.  16 November, 2009 to 20 November, 2009 will start at 09.30 a.m. I.S.T. at Sardar Vallabh Patel Stadium, Ahmedabaad.
