2015 Cricket World Cup
India vs Pakistan at Adelaide
India make it 6-0 in front of raucous Adelaide Oval crowd
Feb 15, 2015
India comfortably won its opening World Cup clash, beating rivals Pakistan by 76 runs at the Adelaide Oval. Man-of-the-Match Virat Kohli (107) helped the reigning champions to a defendable total of 7 for 300 with a vital century. Mohammed Shami (4 for 35) and Umesh Yadav (2 for 50), skittled Pakistan for 224 despite some fightback by Skipper Misbah-ul-Haq (76) and opener Ahmed Shehzad (46).Reported Earlier: More than a billion people are expected to watch Sunday's cricket match between the traditional rivals India and Pakistan. India have an overwhelming 5-0 record in the 50-over World Cup since the two teams were first pitted against each other at the ICC event in the 1992 edition in Sydney. The last such contest, the semi-final of 2011, was watched by around 150 million people worldwide, the biggest audience for any sporting event that year. On Friday, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi called his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif to wish Pakistan luck in the World Cup.

Indian Cricket Team
The defending champions
Jan 31, 2015
After 23 years, the ICC Cricket World Cup returns to Australia (and New Zeland), and India - who won the 2011 edition at home - seem to have no chances of regaining the cup. Unlike the flat pitches in India, on the bouncy and seaming tracks in Australia and New Zealand they will have to make several technical adjustments if they have to do well. The MS Dhoni led-team has only four members - Dhoni, Kohli, Raina and Ashwin - from the victorious 2011 campaign, and there are concerns that a lack of experience especially in the bowling department - with not a single pace bowler of merit - will hurt India’s chances of retaining the Cup. The nucleus of the squad is the same which helped India win the Champions Trophy one-day tournament in England in 2013, and India under Dhoni is famous for raising its performance in big games where the stakes are high. India has every chance of qualifying for the quarterfinals as there are relatively weaker teams in the two groups. The likely opponents for India in the quarterfinal stage are either New Zealand or Sri Lanka.

Phillip Hughes: 1988-2014
Dies at 25, after freakish accident
Death came two days after being hit by a bouncer
Oct 27, 2014
Two days after being struck by a bouncer in what was called a freakish accident, Australian star cricketer Phillip Hughes died in a Sydney hospital on Thursday. Cricketers, politicians and sports people have paid tribute to Hughes, who at 25, became one of only a handful of professional players to suffer a fatal head injury on the field within the last century. Hughes had burst on to the international scene in 2009 with two hundreds in his second Test. The South Australian batsman was playing in a Sheffield Shield match against New South Wales when a bouncer from Sean Abbott hit his neck. Hughes received mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on the pitch and was soon whisked by medical transport off the pitch to St Vincent's Hospital. He then received emergency surgery to reduce the pressure on his brain but never regained consciousness.
After his death was announced, cricket officials from Pakistan and New Zealand chose to postpone the second day's play in the third and final Test between the two countries. A two-day tour match between a Cricket Australia XI and India, scheduled to be played in Adelaide on Friday and Saturday, has been cancelled.
