The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has rejected Bangladesh Cricket Board’s (BCB) plea to review the last over of the Asia Cup final against Pakistan.

Talking to Express News, ACC Chief Executive Ashraful Haq said that Bangladesh was ‘too late’ in filing the appeal as they should have filed their complaint to the field umpire or the match referee during the match.

Haq said that the ACC cannot accept BCB’s application anymore.

Bangladesh had said that it would appeal to the ACC to review the last over, accusing Pakistani paceman Aizaz Cheema of deliberately blocking batsman Mahmudullah Riyad from taking a second run.

To be a winner all the time is impossible, but to be a Champion at one time and subsequently losing is a horrid feeling, the situation becomes vile even more when you win Like a Lion at home, even the World cup and lose Haphazardly, disappointing all.

Indiais unquestionably one of the world’s best team, the kind of batting strength it has and today it has most senior players in the history of cricket, like Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid. The question is not whyIndialost againstEnglandorAustralia, Question is that isIndiaonly capable of winning at home?

From Champion to a loser:

Cricket is an unpredictable game, but it doesn’t mean that you win one match or a series like champions and subsequently you lose, making all your fans and followers disheartened, to be a champion you need to be consistent and aggressive, Australia is the best team not only because it won 4 world cup’s, we call it the best because it has been consistent after winning each World cup. You can incidentally win a World cup, like the way Kenyareached the semi final of 2003 World cup but what happened do we call Kenyathe 4^th best team? Obviously no, or like the wayIreland defeatedPakistan in 2007 World cup, so do we know where theIreland team is now? Of course no. Or the way New Zealand reached Semi finals in many world cup’s.India is a good team, but what really happened, they have won the world cup, either that was their luck or effort, but can we really call India a Champion? If yes then how?

Point is not criticizing India, but applauding Australia, not just India but New Zealand, Srilanka, Pakistan, South Africa and England, all have the same problem, these countries are top cricketing nations, but If they win one tournament, you can not expect the same performance in the other, you cannot even expect the same performance in the next match by Pakistan and Newzealand.

I agree that no one is perfect all the time, but so much disrupted performance is also questionable.Australialost its momentum in past few years but it fell after many years of consistent performance. If you are a winner of current World cup then it means you are capable of winning other tournaments and matches, also when you have the same side and Captain, nothing is changed, but your Luck might have been changed.

Following is the comparison of India and Australia of all matches played untill now.

Left-arm spinner Abdul Rehman took a career best 6-25 to help Pakistan humble England by 72 runs in the second Test here on Saturday, to give them an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.

The 31-year-old twice took two wickets in successive overs to dent England’s chase after they were set a 145-run target on a weary fourth day Abu Dhabi Stadium pitch, bowling them out for 72 – their lowest against Pakistan in all Tests.

Rehman’s effort overshadowed Monty Panesar’s 6-62, in his first Test for 30 months, which finished Pakistan’s second innings at 214 in the morning.

This is England’s first series defeat after being unbeaten in their previous nine since their loss to the West Indies in early 2009 – a sequence which saw them rise to world number one in the Test rankings in August last year.

Pakistan won the first Test in Dubai by ten wickets. The third Test will also be played in Dubai from February 3.

Jonathan Trott and Alastair Cook’s half-centuries shut out Pakistan for 40 overs, and counting, as England jockeyed for a significant first-innings lead in the second Test. England made good on a fine start to the second day at the Zayed Stadium, losing only captain Andrew Strauss in a teatime 132 for one after bowling Pakistan out for 257. The tourists took Pakistan’s last three wickets in 15 minutes this morning, for the addition of just one run, to earn an obvious opportunity to battle back in this three-match series after their first-Test hammering last week.

The home side took a 332-run first-innings lead after Siddle led the way with five for 49, overshadowing Kohli’s 116 in India’s 272 all out. Australia slumped to 50 for three by the close of play but will nevertheless begin Day Four with victory a strong possibility. India, resuming at 61 for two, with Gautam Gambhir and Sachin Tendulkar at the crease, staggered towards lunch in a session which belonged overwhelmingly to the Australians despite the batsman-friendly conditions.

Michael Clarke entered this Test with a whitewash on his mind. After two days, he could hardly have hoped for Australia to be in a stronger position to push for it. A day that started with Clarke and Ricky Ponting both bringing up double-centuries and producing the highest Test partnership ever recorded at the Adelaide Oval ended with India two wickets down, and still 543 runs in arrears.

Of course, Australia lost three top-order men in the first session of the match and it didn’t hurt them, but after nearly 11 hours of roasting in the field, India’s batsmen must find some energy on the third day to match Australia. At stumps, Sachin Tendulkar was on 12 and Gautam Gambhir had reached 30, with India on 2 for 61, and on the best batting pitch of the tour India needed someone to bring up the team’s first century of the series.

Broad dismissed Younis Khan (24) and Azhar Ali (24) to give England a further edge after they dismissed Mohammad Hafeez and Taufiq Umar early to derail Pakistan, who won the toss and batted on a turning Abu Dhabi Stadium pitch.

Pakistan reached tea at 177-4 with Misbah (32) and Shafiq (39) adding 74 for the unbroken fifth-wicket stand.

Hafeez and Umar, who put on 114 for the opening wicket in the first Test, negotiated the first hour without any discomfort before Swann gave England the breakthrough.
