Tough games

Back-to-back games make it really tough for the players. I am not really happy with the schedule: two teams are playing back-to-back games, and two teams are not. Under these conditions it is really tough, you are playing cricket throughout the year, and then you play back-to-back matches. You could make out from the start the intensity was not there."

India's display in the field was characterised by Gautam Gambhir's dropping of Tamim Iqbal early in the innings, and India's pace bowlers, who have been their strength recently, performing below par. In the last 10 overs fielders and bowlers combined to allow Bangladesh to score 97 runs.

It couldn't have been India underestimating Bangladesh - at his pre-tournament press conference, when asked about the weak teams in the fray, Dhoni had specifically said Bangladesh shouldn't be taken lightly.

Shoib Malik

It is unlikely Malik read the column before he went out to open today against India. But as the beginnings of a response, his wasn't half bad. Malik as a top-order batsman is a different beast altogether to Malik anywhere else. Indeed, part of the problem through his career, why people never think him a certain starter, is that he has never made one spot his own. Instead he has batted here, there and everywhere.

Why this is so is unclear. The 58 ODIs in his career where he has batted in the top four, he averages nearly 44 from. All his centuries and nearly half his fifties have come from here. More than all these stats, he looks more authoritative up there, able to run the singles and take advantage of fielding restrictions, as he did here.

England captain banned

Kevin Pietersen has been aspiring to become the England captain one day and his dream has come true now for a short period over the banning of present England captain Collingwood. Its been a oppurtunity of life time for Pietersen as his dream has come true for the last ODI of the series. I think he will make the best use of this oppurtunity to showcase his talents as a captain. Kevin Pietersen has been named England's team captain for the final match of their one-day series against New Zealand after Paul Collingwood was banned for four ODIs. Collingwood was found guilty of Level 3 ICC Code of Conduct breach following his side's failure to bowl their overs in the required time during their dramatic one-wicket defeat against New Zealand at The Oval on Wednesday. In addition to missing the final one-dayer against New Zealand at Lord's on Saturday, Collingwood will also play no part in England's ODI against Scotland, their Twenty20 international against South Africa on August 20, nor the first of seven ODIs a week later.

Pakistan cleared for Asia Cup

The Asia Cup will be played between six teams - Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, UAE and Hong Kong - in Karachi and Lahore from June 24 to July 6. Security has been a concern for visiting teams after a state of emergency was imposed in November, followed in December by the assassination of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, which sparked off violent protests across the country. The ICC women's World Cup Qualifiers were shifted from Pakistan to South Africa and then Australia decided to postpone their tour of the country. But since general elections in February and the forming of a new government, the violence has lessened considerably.

Last week an ICC delegation reportedly left satisfied after inspecting grounds around Pakistan to assess the security situation ahead of the Champions Trophy in September. Pakistan is expected to get the go-ahead for hosting the tournament, with Sri Lanka being the alternative host country, at the ICC board meeting in Dubai on June 29.

Tendulkar sidelined

Sachin Tendulkar will miss the upcoming tri-series in Bangladesh and the Asia Cup that follows because he hasn't recovered fully from his groin injury.

The injury had forced Tendulkar to miss the second and third Tests against South Africa in April as well as the first half of the Mumbai Indians' campaign in the Indian Premier League.

"Tendulkar is not available for the tri-series as well as the Asia Cup on the advice of Mumbai Indians physiotherapist Nitin Patel," Niranjan Shah, the BCCI secretary, said. "He has not recovered sufficiently from the groin injury."

Tendulkar was instrumental in India winning the tri-series in Australia earlier this year, scoring an unbeaten 117 and 91 in the best-of-three finals. His IPL form, after missing Mumbai Indians' first seven games, hasn't been as good, with 188 runs at an average of 31.33 and strike-rate of 106.
