Border-Gavaskar Trophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For this reason, and with the decline in England's performances since the 1980s, the Border-Gavaskar trophy is now considered by cricket fans in India and Australia to be equal to, if not better than, the traditional Ashes series contests between England and Australia (although the 2005 Ashes is challenging that). The first Border-Gavaskar Trophy was played for in the 1996/97 season, which was won by India. It is named after the cricketing legends Allan Border and Sunil Gavaskar, from Australia and India respectively. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Border-Gavaskar_Trophy   (1839 words)

Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2001 The second edition of the Border Gavaskar Trophy had attempted to be a more honest evaluation of the competing teams and in a sense, a sincerer tribute to the greatness of the icons, who had lent their names to it. From the very outset the Border Gavaskar trophy appeared to be a poor cousin of the Ashes and the Frank Worrel Trophy, both in terms of quality and quantity of cricket played between these two countries. It is co-incidental that both Border and Gavaskar played 20 matches against India and Australia respectively and there is a very thin difference of 17 runs in their career aggregates. www.yehhaicricket.com /news/gavaskar_border/gavaskar_border.html   (2878 words)

Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Sunil Gavaskar At the start of 2004, Gavaskar was sole holder of the record for the most number of test centuries (34); his countryman Sachin Tendulkar equalled that record that December. Gavaskar was captain of the Indian team on several occasions in the late '70s and early '80s, though here his record is more mixed. Sunil Manohar Gavaskar (born July 10, 1949 at Bombay, Maharashtra), nicknamed Sunny, was a cricket player during the 1970s and 1980s for Bombay and India. www.reference.com /browse/wiki/Sunil_Gavaskar   (515 words)

The Telegraph - Calcutta File picture of Team India skipper Sourav Ganguly receiving the Border-Gavaskar Trophy from Sunil Gavaskar and Allan Border at the SCG on January 6 this year. The game needs sponsors and there is nothing against the current sponsor, but has the Border-Gavaskar Trophy not been devalued?” Gavaskar, the Team India consultant in this series, added: “In Mumbai, where Allan is due to witness the Test, I’m not sure whether he would want to be present to hand over the Trophy and, anyway, which one is going to be presented first? www.telegraphindia.com /1041028/asp/sports/story_3934443.asp   (438 words)

Next Border-Gavaskar series in India before 2010 - Australia in India: HTCricket.com Cricket Australia (CA) and the BCCI have started the groundwork to ensure the next Test series for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in India is held "much earlier" than scheduled in 2010. The two cricket legends - Gavaskar and Border - who had both captained their respective countries in Test cricket, were present to confer the scholarship at the function held at Cricket Club of India. Gavaskar, during his interaction with the media, highlighted the fact that university cricket had declined in India as compared to when he was himself a university cricketer. www.hindustantimes.com /htcricket/7309_1091832,00160087.htm   (483 words)

Gavaskar and Border are timeless too...Gavaskar, the ultimate technician, Border, the ultimate fighter. And in the famous tied Test at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in 1986-87, Border rattled up 106 in the first essay, while Gavaskar scored 90 in the second innings; significant contributions in a match that cannot be clouded by the mists of time. www.hindu.com /2004/10/01/stories/2004100106212000.htm   (616 words)

Gavaskar Border Trophy 2005 - Srinath & Prasad to help Indian Fast Bowlers It was a journey back in time for Sunil Gavaskar as he alighted from the team bus at the Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Tuesday. Hopefully with the presence of Gavaskar, Srinath and Prasad at the nets, some wisdom of the past would have seeped into the Indian team as it gears up for a historical series against Adam Gilchrist's men. On his role as a consultant, Gavaskar said, "I am a consultant and I would imagine that I will be dealing with anything that the team needs to consult me about on any input. www.indiatoday.com.au /us_buzz1.php   (1408 words)

India-Australia series could mirror Ashes But just because the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is becoming bigger by the minute does not mean that it has become as important as the Ashes.

Cricinfo - A history of Australia in India over the years Leading by 347 at the end of the fourth day, Border decided to declare overnight and set India a challenging target, which Gavaskar duly went after. Border came back in 1986 with a young team that displayed a lot of character, as exemplified by Dean Jones's epic innings in an energy-sapping cauldron at Madras. Kim Hughes and Allan Border enjoyed good runs with the bat but, most importantly, as Border was to write later: "This trip to India had been the first true test of my character as a cricketer." content-usa.cricinfo.com /ci/content/story/142165.html   (1143 words)

The Tribune - Magazine section - Saturday Extra Gavaskar did it against the West Indies at Georgetown (probably his most favourite cricketing venue) on the tour of 1982-83, just prior to the 1983 World Cup, while Tendulkar reached the same landmark against England at Ahmedabad in 2001-02. It must be said in favour of Gavaskar that when he started playing for India it was an era when Indian cricket had very little to boast about and the team mostly played Test matches to draw a match rather than to win. If in the days of Gavaskar cricket was still a game and played at a leisurely pace, now the game is not only a profession but also a passion and played in a frenzied pace. www.tribuneindia.com /2005/20051217/saturday/main1.htm   (2050 words)

The Telegraph - Calcutta : Nation India retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which was presented to Sourav by the two icons in person, but a plus has been Dravid being adjudged Man of the Series for a handsome tally of 619 runs. Incidentally, in Steve’s opinion, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is currently the premier competition around. Apparently, he has got “muddled” (to quote a member of the think tank) by interacting too much with a former India captain. www.telegraphindia.com /1040107/asp/nation/story_2759909.asp   (488 words)

Rediff On The NeT: Australia clinch Border-Gavaskar Trophy And in the process, snatched out of India's grasp the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which it had lost in the one-off Test, then lost again when India retained it at home with a 2-1 result in 1998. From whatever I've seen thus far, he's finding that harder to do, than combating the combined wiles of McGrath and Warne and the pace of Lee.

Australians to focus on new glories - www.theage.com.au The bigger prize is the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, retained by India this month after the drawn Test series. Instead, it is thrashing out a plan to play a series of warm-up matches against India and Pakistan somewhere in Europe or Britain ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy, to be held in England in September. Cricket Australia is believed to be conscious of the dangers of leaping straight into a series after an extensive break, several players having being hurt playing Tests against Zimbabwe in October without warm-up games for their country. www.theage.com.au /articles/2004/01/14/1073877899378.html   (485 words)
