14 most interesting stump mike conversations ever recorded

Former India <keyword id="1411" type="POSITION" weightage="80" keywordseo="captain">captain</keyword> <keyword id="6359039" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Sourav-Ganguly">Sourav Ganguly</keyword> is hopeful of the resumption of India-Pakistan rivalry on the cricket field soon enough as he feels its absence is hurting the sport at international level. 
 In the aftermath of the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, the two countries suspended bilateral cricket ties. However, recent reports suggest that the cricketing boards of the two teams are planning a series in 2015 after the <keyword id="6354756" type="CITY" weightage="80" keywordseo="BCCI">BCCI</keyword> got clearance from the <keyword id="44734" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="Indian-Government">Indian government</keyword> to play against their arch-rivals. 
 
Ganguly says the quality of cricketers involved makes the Indo-Pak contest a mouth-watering affair. "To be honest, it's really down to the quality of the players involved which makes these games so special. The absence of these games at the international level is hurting the game and I do hope these issues get sorted out as soon as possible and the two great sporting rivals can recommence their rivalry," he said in an interview to Pakpassion.net 
 Cash-rich <keyword id="6354831" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="40" keywordseo="Indian-Premier-League">Indian Premier League</keyword> has drawn mixed reactions globally. Former England great <keyword id="72978" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Ian-Botham">Ian Botham</keyword> has gone to the extent of suggesting that the T20 tournament should not exist in first place but Ganguly believes that the annual event is only helping Indian cricketers. 
 "The fact is that the <keyword id="6354312" type="CITY" weightage="60" keywordseo="IPL">IPL</keyword> gives a lot of exposure to Indian players to the top level players who are also taking part in the tournament. There are a lot of first class players who may never get to play for India but are able to play against the best players in the game and learn from them as opponents or as team-mates. This really is an important factor in the improvement of their game and can only be a good thing for Indian cricket going forward," he was quoted as saying. 
 Since hanging his boots, Ganguly has started a new innings as a <keyword id="207918" type="POSITION" weightage="80" keywordseo="cricket-commentator">cricket commentator</keyword> and is also open to coaching at both international and domestic level in future. "Definitely. I do want to apply my experience and knowledge to an international or domestic level coaching role in the future. However, as always, it all depends on the opportunities one gets in life, so let's see, but coaching is definitely something that I would love to do at some point in the future," he said.

Ganguly Hopes India-Pakistan Resume Bilateral Cricket Ties

The legendary England allrounder <keyword id="72978" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Ian-Botham">Ian Botham</keyword> has tipped <keyword id="9234" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Alastair-Cook">Alastair Cook</keyword>’s side to beat India by a 3-1 or a 2-0 margin in the upcoming five-match Investec Test series. 
 
The war of words is on. Despite England's on and off field struggles, Botham feels that The Three Lions will exploit the weaknesses in the touring side to beat them evens. "It's got to be an England win for me,” Ian Botham was quoted as saying in his special feature Beefy Bets on skysports.com. “India's batting is very strong but it's their bowling department where they are weak. "They (England) aren't playing well but I think India's bowlers will struggle and with home advantage England will have the edge." 
 
Despite England missing three key players when they thrashed India 4-0 in 2011, Botham feels that the under-fire England captain will come good against MS Dhoni-led side. "I think England will win the series by two Tests either 3-1 or 2-0, it certainly won't be as one-sided as the last time they met in England," said the Sky Sports pundit. 
 
"The weather is likely to play a part in one or two matches but I think overall England to win 3-1 is a good bet." 
 
Botham, considered as one of the finest allrounders of all time, also hopes that Anderson would help England beat India on way to breaking his record. 
 "<keyword id="82331" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Jimmy-Anderson">Jimmy Anderson</keyword> is the man England will look to get the wickets but his price is too short. The value for me is with <keyword id="6369580" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Ben-Stokes">Ben Stokes</keyword>. He looks like he's back to fitness and I think they'll play him as he gives the side balance," he added. 
 
Anderson, 31, has 355 Test wickets in 94 matches with an average of 30.36 and Botham says that the bowler can get the remaining 28 wickets during the India series and break his record.

Botham Tips England To Beat India

Yashasvi <keyword id="20066174" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jaiswal" source="keywords">Jaiswal</keyword> hit a bludgeoning half-century to steer <keyword id="19895063" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="India" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="India" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="India">India</keyword> to a solid 138 for two in their first innings at tea on day four of the weather-hit second Test against <keyword id="19919639" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bangladesh" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Bangladesh" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Bangladesh">Bangladesh</keyword>, here Monday. Jaiswal hammered a 52-ball 71 as India scored at over eight runs an over, and now trail the visitors by 95 runs. Earlier, Bangladesh were bundled out for 233 in their first innings, built around <keyword id="22750663" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mominul-Haque" source="keywords">Mominul Haque</keyword>'s patient hundred. The sun shone bright in the <keyword id="19921464" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kanpur" source="keywords">Kanpur</keyword> sky after two gloomy days and the on-field action finally began after losing eight sessions. Except for Mominul, none of the Bangladeshi batters applied themselves on a placid pitch that did not offer much to the Indian bowlers. Showing urgency to surpass Bangladesh total and probably push for a victory in the limited time available, India came out batting in the T20 mode. Jaiswal hit three boundaries in the opening over to stun pacer Hasan Mahmud while Rohit began by clobbering two sixes off Khaled Ahmed, and one landed on the stadium roof. The onslaught surprised the rival attack but the home fans were rewarded for flocking the stadium in the last two days despite rain. Going with a see-and-hit approach, India completed the fastest team fifty in three overs. Realising the ineffectiveness of his pacers, Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto introduced spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz and he responded to the SOS call, castling Rohit. Jaiswal completed his fifty with a single off left-arm spinner Taijul Islam and went on in his aggressive fashion. His innings, which contained 12 fours and two sixes, was cut short by Mahmud. The young opener added 72 runs for the second wicket with Shubhman Gill (38). Gill (37) and Rishabh Pant (4) remained unseparated till the tea break. Earlier, pacer <keyword id="19899525" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jasprit-Bumrah" source="keywords">Jasprit Bumrah</keyword> (3/50) accounted for three batters, further establishing his brilliance, while his pace colleagues Mohammed Siraj (2/57) and Akash Deep (2/43) scalped two batters each. Spinner Ravichandran Ashwin (2/45) got rid of legendary Shakib Al Hasan, probably playing his last Test. Ravindra Jadeja toiled hard to get his 300th Test wicket and succeeded when he caught and bowled Khaled. Jadeja also became the second quickest to complete the double of 300 wickets and 3000 runs in <keyword id="19935483" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Test-cricket" source="keywords">Test cricket</keyword> behind England great Ian Botham. Resuming at 107 for three, Bangladesh lost Mushfiqur Rahim (11) in the sixth over of the day when Bumrah bowled him with an angled delivery. It was an error of judgement from Rahim who left the ball, thinking it would go over the stumps but it stayed a bit low to disturb the off-stump. In the previous ball also, Rahim was troubled by an angled delivery that took the edge and zoomed to the boundary ropes. New-man in Litton Das (13) began confidently, driving a length ball from Bumrah through the cover for a four and followed that up with another solid drive in the same region. Mominul stayed solid from his end and also survived an appeal off Mohammed Siraj. The southpaw was beaten, as the ball hit his thigh-pad and DRS showed the ball had not touched his glove before being taken by Jaiswal. In the next ball, Mominul completed his half-century by pulling a short one from Siraj to the square leg boundary. Rohit, standing at mid-off, pulled a stunner from thin air when Das charged down the wicket to Siraj but stood in disbelief after his powerful hit was plucked by the Indian captain. In came Shakib (9), but he did not last long. He got his first boundary by working a full-length delivery from Siraj on the leg side. He went after Ashwin but could not connect well as his one hand came off the bat. Siraj standing at mid-off backpaddled to take a stunning catch.

Yashasvi Jaiswal hammers Bangladesh attack after Mominul's ton; India 138/2 at tea

Its been 15 years, but it feels like last week. Catching a train from Manchester to Birmingham with my father, munching on potato chips and talking about a rather one-sided semi-final between Pakistan and <keyword id="22501" type="COUNTRY" weightage="40" keywordseo="New-Zealand">New Zealand</keyword> that we'd just taken in, watching the 1964 <keyword id="17991" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="James-Bond">James Bond</keyword> flick Goldfinger on the eve of the game, bumping in to Pat Symcox in the lobby of our hotel the morning of it, and then trooping over to Edgbaston for the second semi-final of the 1999 World Cup. 
 But that's secondary. We're only talking about this day because of what transpired on the cricket field on June 17, 1999 - exactly 15 years ago. So lets rewind to that lovely English summer's day. The day <keyword id="17439" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Shane-Warne">Shane Warne</keyword> enjoyed his best day in Australian yellow. 
 It is, truly, the stuff of folklore; the bizarre last over, with the two boundaries hammered by <keyword id="209561" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Lance-Klusener">Lance Klusener</keyword>, the inexplicable mix-up with <keyword id="56876" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Allan-Donald">Allan Donald</keyword>, the scores tied. But anyone who was at Edgbaston that day will say that it belonged to Warne. Five months after a return from shoulder injury, Warne bowled a spell eerily reminiscent of the semi-finals of the previous World Cup, when victory had threatened to slip out of Australia's reach. 
 <keyword id="6355117" type="COUNTRY" weightage="40" keywordseo="South-Africa">South Africa</keyword>, chasing 213, were 43 for 0 with Herschelle Gibbs and <keyword id="12706" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Gary-Kirsten">Gary Kirsten</keyword> looking good when Warne was tossed the ball. If ever there was a symphony orchestrated in one over, it was Warne's second. Ambling in, tongue protruding and eyes fixed firmly on Gibbs, he unleashed a beauty. The ball looped up, drifted away, landed in the rough outside leg stump, and fizzed past a dumbfounded Gibbs to clip off. Gibbs could only stand in disbelief, refusing to acknowledge that he had been bowled. 
 Five deliveries later, Warne floated another one up in the footmarks outside leg, Kirsten went down to sweep, missed, and the ball hit off again. Hansie Cronje lasted just two deliveries, as an attempted flick to the onside went to first slip and Warne had three wickets in eight alls. Called back for his final spell, Warne added <keyword id="61954" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Jacques-Kallis">Jacques Kallis</keyword> to his kitty and a spell of 4 for 29 had been completed. 
 We all know how that epic match ended, but for this writer it is the memory of watching Warne in action for the first time live that trumps everything else. Even being invited up the stairs to the TV broadcaster's box and seeing Ian Botham and Geoffrey Boycott just feet away, while narrowly missing bumping in to <keyword id="6367229" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Ricky-Ponting">Ricky Ponting</keyword> on the way down. That was the effect Warnie had.
