NEPALI CRICKET AND ITS CURRENT SITUATION|


CAN: DRAINING OF PLAYERS OUT OF COUNTRY???

Short story about Legend.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
""Hitting the ball out of the ground is not a cricket rather its a gentleman game---unknown""
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What a same even to think that our hero who made us proud is not even in the picture as  a bench player. This is not what should happen to one of the most popular player of the game of cricket in Nepal. How much you advance in present but you can never erase the past glories. I won’t be upset if he was just kept as a bench player instead of some very weak names  available currently. Not only that if he was not selected or replaced by some good performers like Sagar Pun and Rajesh Pulami Magar and also by hasim Ansari. I won’t  complain anything about selector,but  look at them and their poor decision to pick Krishna karki and Prithu Baskota Instead of some quality performers. They are just having a monopoly in decision making and are not caring about what fans and some great players of cricket globally are saying.
They  are showing  their incapabilities and turning the glory of division four  into  some very difficult future for Nepali team.If we see the history of international cricket a legend when dropped from team has always been recalled as his team require him then more than ever as for instance:
 In his return ,Coming in at 37/4, Ganguly scored 83 in a tour match against the rest of South Africa, modifying his original batting style and taking a middle-stump guard, resulting in India winning the match. During his first Test innings since his comeback, against South Africa in Johannesberg  his score of 51 helped India to victory, marking the first Test match win for the team in South Africa.Though India lost the series, Ganguly accumulated the most runs on the scoring chart. After his successful Test comeback he was recalled for the ODI team, as India played host to West Indies and Srilanka in back to back ODI tournaments. In his first ODI innings in almost two years, he scored a matchwinning 98. He performed well in both series, averaging almost 70 and won the Man of the Series Award against Sri Lanka.
So I don’t want the selectors of Nepal doing such a mistake what they have already done quiet often and would like  to request all the people to urge voice to bring back our hero;”The Saptari Tiger”.He is arguably the most popular Nepali  player.He is infact the terrific hard hitter and infact a genuine swing bowler.He  cannot be replaced by anyone even today when we are in an exceptional form with both bat,ball and field.


Mehboob Alam (L) receives cheque from Sujit Mundal CEO of Standard Chartered for his 10 wickets in an innings during ICC World Cup Division-V qualification match last year at TU Cricket Ground in Kathmandu on Friday 12.06.20.

We should always be thankful to Mehboob Alam for all his glory and making our names in the record books as for instance the Historic Mozambique match where Alam bowled  7.5 overs 1 maiden 12 runs 10 wickets.Who can forget this match???i know no one even the worst criticizer can forget the glorious day and even today with the powerful search engines you go and search the world records it is always at the top above all.No one has ever got this feet no matter how great he is in International arena.He is the youngest player to take 10 wickets in an inning comparing at every form of the game.
On Wednesday august 18 2010 he became the only Nepali player to claim 100+ wickets in an ODI.
To add to these records, he also has top three bowling performances in a match for his country and besides, he is a hard-hitting batsman who has scored 904 runs with an average of 21. His career hit of boundaries is 119, out of which 18 are sixes.
“Batting is a plus-point to my cricket,” he says. “If I had not been a batsman, I would have been out of the team long ago.” Mehboob modeled himself on former Pakistani great Wasim Akram and is a crowd favorite in Nepal. Such is a support to him by home crowd that the curator of TU Cricket Ground — the main cricket ground of the nation named an end on him.
So with all this record how can he be neglected or even dropped from the team.With this article I want to make light only one thing that legends must be respected and we should never neglect their past glory and records instead for the sake of whole nation and it’s pride we should make their presence felt to all the youngsters who would definitely be benifited by it.
                I have a question to every lovers,fans and selectors of the Nation and National team that if this is a respect a player is receiving for his contribution to the nation and to the whole cricket family then what they have earn giving their whole  life as a cricketer ?.we all know that it too hard to sustain once life being a sportsman. A player plays sports till his mid twenties in Nepal after that he have to handle his life in different aspect, sport is not proffesion in Nepal and even if we talk about cricket is a great dream to live in house you earn being a cricketer  and give your faimily economically support as a result we are seeing different great players draining out for country in search of good livelihood,study and better life.so at these stage we  have very few players who are still in nation struggling and even hoping to be forever, to play for the nation and its pride but what is missing to them is still a great question.Yes such a name is Mehboob Alam who wants to be in nation, playing for the national team but its a great blow to him and his dream-full carrer, knocking him out successively for the two seasons and introducing a new one without any exercise. He personally says "how can i prove if they didn't give me any chance". its a question to all "what if Parash Khadka will have the same pain tomorrow"? ,what if Basanta Regmi will go to middle east to earn his life and what if these all heroes who presently raise the head of whole country needs to struggle for food tomorrow???? no one knows if CAN can do this to Mehboob today then any one can be victim tomorrow, i don't need that players in team who doesn't play well, but i don't even see him out of team if they didn't gave him any chance.
               Lets love Nepali Cricket and lets think about legends as well because we all are proud of our nation calling our self as Bir Gorkhali because of once Gorkhe have send back the english troops to their land so legend counts for the present and for the future as well.

Good bless Nepal and Nepali Cricket.

As if it is seen that winning has been a day to day task for the Nepali hunters.They have proven them in every aspect in this tournament. All the major part of game such as bowling, bating and catches along with some records are in the name of Himali Tigers.

Nepal Innings  

Today the Gurkha Brigade followed the same routing as Anil played a much needed inning for Nepal In a rain-affected match, Nepal scored 240 runs in 50 overs losing all wickets where Denmark could make a reply of 130 for 9 in 31 overs and thus Denmark lost by 25 runs as per D/L method where Man of the match Anil Mandal scored 113 runs from 134 balls with eight fours and four sixes as he list himself as the fifth Nepali batsman to score an international hundred in senior one day matches. Subash got in the list two day before when he scored 115 against USA.It has been a long history since Nepali batsman have followed the consecutive centuries in matches.They have been blamed by every fans and supporters for their poor bating line up but this tournament(Division IV) have given a great hope and confidence to every players and this tournament has also reflected the strategy of team game. Sometime its seem like Australian are playing out there in the field, one player a day with great support from other and well maintained captain with his responsible inning.        
winning the toss Nepal chose to bat first but unfortunately team lost hopefull batsman Subash Khakurel in the very second ball of their inning. Gyanendra Malla then played good inning with some control before being out on 26 runs from 35 balls with four fours. Paras Khadka then joined Anil Mandal making just 3 runs leaving Nepal to 50 for 3. At this stage it was seen as if some bad star is going to rise for Nepal but 89 runs partnership between Anil and Sharad Vesawkar controlled the game towards Nepalese side. Unfortunately team lost Sharad in 36th over when Sharad was at 27 off 66 balls.Anil sowed a good bating form and kept his mind so that not to follow his partner toward the pavilion .He completed his half-century in 90 balls but it just took 27 balls to score next one and finally he manage to score 113 out of 134 balls.while Basant Regmi, Binod Das, and Pradeep Airee each contributed some runs before being bundled for 240. Basanta scored 21(27) runs, Binod scored 15(7) with 2 sixes and Pradeep added 11(8) with 2 fours. Sanjam Regmi was given out for obstructing the field in the last ball. Thus team manage to make a well maintained 240 of 50 over.                  
                       

Denmark Inning


Denmark started their inning with huge hope because to reach Division 3 they had a pressure of winning this match.They suffered badly as they lost Carsten Pedersen in second over of the match where Nepali captain strike his first wicket .
Nepal got the second breakthrough in the 14th over when Shehzad Ahmed was trapped leg before wicket for 9 runs by S Regmi. Taha Ahmed became the next victim of lbw by Gauchan in 21st over. But then, game some what goes in favor Denis side where Andreas Lambert looked danger, Lambert was on 47 with 4 fours and 1 six when the rain stopped the play at the completion of the 25 overs. Using D/L method Denmark’s target was revised to 156 in 31 overs but Nepal had full control through the innings. As soon as the match started the agressive Lambert gave his wicket to S.Regmi to compel his second wicket of he match.Despite, Binod Das conceding 12 runs in an over, Paras getting himself uneasy to bowl in the extreme over giving 18 runs in an over, Basanta Regmi control the inning helding the six balls with 5 runs.Its seems like the team have somewhat missed Amrit Bhattarai at those moment but Captain finally hold his head high taking three wickets in last over where Denmark were needing 29 runs to win. Thus captain Parash Khadka took 4 wickets  for 34 runs.Sanjam and Basant claimed two wickets each while Shakti Gauchan picked up one.
