Fawad Alam Biography

Fawad Alam
Fawad Alam Biography
Fawad Alam (born 8 October 1985 in Karachi) is a Pakistani first-class cricketer. He is primarily a left handed batsman but bowls handy slow left-arm orthodox. His father Tariq had a long first class career in Pakistan. Making his first class debut at the age of 17, Fawad played with Pakistan Customs and Karachi. He impressed enough to be selected to play in the U-19 World Cup, which Pakistan won. Fawad starred in the 2006-07 domestic season, finishing as the fifth highest run scorer in the Quaid-e-Azam trophy. He took a 5 wicket haul in the Twenty20 Cup final which earned him Man of the Match and was also named Man of the Series, Best Batsman and Best Bowler. After Pakistan's disappointing World Cup campaign, Alam was drafted into a 16 man squad for a One Day International series against Sri Lanka in Abu Dhabi. His debut in the 3rd ODI was one to forget, he was caught and bowled by Dilhara Fernando for a first ball duck.His second One-day International was a better experience, as he contributed 32 unbeaten runs down the order as Pakistan beat India by 31 runs in Jaipur. In between those two matches, he travelled to South Africa as part of Pakistan's squad for the 2007 ICC World Twenty20 tournament. He played in the semi-final, taking two wickets against New Zealand, one a superb caught and bowled effort to dismiss Lou Vincent, as Pakistan progressed to the final, for which he was not selected. In Asia Cricket Cup in June 2008, he scored his maiden half century against Hong Kong. In that match, Pakistan's top oder was ripped by Hong Kong bowlers before Fawad and another team mate Sohail Tanvir set up a 100 runs partnership for the 8th wicket. Sohail ended at 59 while Fawad Alam remained unbeaten at 63. However, he was unexpectedly dropped for the Sri Lanka series in Januray 2009.

Personal Quotes

I don't believe in terms like 'number one bowler,' because till you are performing, people regard you as the best bowler in the team. If someday you fail to perform, the same people will say bad things about you

All the members in the team are my best friends. There is nothing like I am not friendly with a particular player. The whole team is like a family and whenever I feel like I can drop into anyone's room.

Everybody faces pressure, but the important thing is how you handle it.

Sourav Ganguli
Sourav Ganguli Biography
Full name :Sourav Chandidas Ganguly

Born :8 July 1972 (1972-07-08) (age 36),Calcutta, Bengal, India.

Nickname: Dada, Prince of Kolkata, Bengal Tiger, Maharaja.

Height: 5 ft 11 in (1.8 m)

Batting style :Left-handed

Bowling style:Right arm medium

Role: Batsman

Relations: Snehasish Ganguly (Brother)

The youngest son of Chandidas and Nirupa Ganguly, Ganguly was born on 8 July 1972 in Kolkata. His father ran a flourishing print business and was one of the richest men in Kolkata.He had a luxurious childhood and was nicknamed the Maharaja.Though he was asked to concentrate on his studies and not to play cricket, he was inspired to do so by his brother Snehasish Ganguly,an accomplished left-handed batsman for Bengal.Though he was actually right-handed, he batted left-handed so that he could use his brother's equipment.After he showed some promise as a batsman, he was enrolled in a cricket academy.An indoor multi-gym and concrete wicket was built at home for him and his brother, and he would often watch cricket videos, especially those of David Gower, whom he admired. After he scored a century against the Orissa U-15 side, he was made captain of St Xavier's School's cricket team,where several of his teammates complained against what they perceived to be his arrogance. One anecdote was that during a tour with a junior team, it was Ganguly's turn to be the twelth man, a substitute who can only field and whose role is usually to raise morale by supporting the playing XI by organising their spare equipment and drinks, and ferrying messages from the dressing room to the players. Ganguly purportedly refused to do such tasks as he considered it beneath his social status to assist his teammates in such a way.

Harbajan Sing Biography

Harbajan Sing
Harbajan Sing Biography
Harbhajan Singh(born 3 July 1980 in Jalandhar, Punjab) is an Indian cricketer. A specialist bowler, he has the third-highest number of Test wickets by an off spinner and the highest among Indian off spinners. Harbhajan made his Test and One Day International (ODI) debuts in early 1998. His career was initially beset by investigations into the legality of his bowling action and disciplinary incidents that raised the ire of cricket authorities. However in 2001, with leading leg spinner Anil Kumble injured, Harbhajan's career was resuscitated after Indian captain Sourav Ganguly called for his inclusion in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy team. In that series victory over Australia, Harbhajan established himself as the team's leading spinner by taking 32 wickets and becoming the first Indian bowler to take a hat trick in Test cricket. A finger injury in mid 2003 sidelined him for much of the following year, allowing Kumble to regain his position as the first choice spinner. Harbhajan reclaimed a regular position in the team upon his return in late 2004, but often found himself watching from the sidelines in Test matches outside the Indian subcontinent with typically only one spinner, Kumble, being used. Throughout 2006 and into early 2007, Harbhajan's accumulation of wickets fell and his bowling average increased, and he was increasingly criticised for bowling defensively with less loop. Following India's first-round elimination from the 2007 Cricket World Cup, Harbhajan was replaced by other spinners in the national squad for both formats. He regained a regular position in the team in late 2007, but became the subject of more controversy. In early 2008, he was given a ban by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for racially vilifying Andrew Symonds. The ban was revoked upon appeal, but in April, Harbhajan was banned from the 2008 Indian Premier League and suspended from the ODI team by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for slapping Sreesanth after a match. He was conferred the Padma Shri, India's fourth highest civilian honour, in 2009.
