	sport.iafrica.com \| today's news Solanki leads England to crushing win
		Vikram Solanki scored 100 as England reached their victory target of 239 with 41 balls to spare and they now have a chance of wrapping up a 4-0 clean sweep when the final match takes place on Sunday at the same venue.
		Solanki's century came off just 91 balls and the total of 238-7 made by Zimbabwe earlier in the day was simply not enough on a good batting wicket.
		Solanki and Ian Bell then gave England the perfect start as they chased 239 but they made the most of their good fortune when Bell was dropped on 17 and Solanki, twice, on 38.

	The Hindu : Sport / Cricket : Trent Bridge triumph augurs well for Solanki
		Vikram Singh Solanki, born in Udaipur, is proud to represent England.
		The cheers in the stands were overwhelmingly in support of India and Solanki was plotting a defeat against the nation of his birth.
		Solanki has not made a trip to India for some time but he would remember some of the sessions he had with Sports Authority of India coach Arun Bhardwaj, who always rated the young batsman high.

	Sportz Tawk: Cricket - Moody tops Solanki for England (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Solanki had an excellent time in limited-overs cricket last season but what has been missing from his performances, certainly in the four-day game, has been an ability to perform week in and week out.
		But Solanki, who made a handful of one-day appearances for England at the start of the decade, is determined to rectify those figures and has been working flat out since the end of last season to try and rectify any faults.
		Moody has a lot of faith in Solanki, whom he was playing alongside when he made his county debut in the mid 1990s, but knows that the potential has to be fully realised.

	Solanki ton fuels Bulawayo romp
		Vikram Solanki produced a blistering second one-day international hundred as England cantered to an eight-wicket victory in the third ODI at Bulawayo.
		It was Solanki who profited most in the next over from seamer Tinashe Panyangara, firstly clipping to mid-on where Chris Mpofo made a misjudgement and then offering a sharp chance to Brendan Taylor at short mid-wicket.
		Solanki finally fell in the deep just four balls after reaching his century and repeating his memorable performance against South Africa at The Oval a year ago, when he recorded an equally eye-catching hundred against far tougher opposition.

		Solanki’s success is yet another indication that the most British of sports is increasingly looking to players with roots in the subcontinent to woo new and young audience even as it tries to compete with football.
		Solanki, for his part, is proud of his Indian roots.
		Solanki himself has made it known earlier that he was a big admirer of Sachin Tendulkar.

	PakPassion - Pakistan Cricket Forum - There's Something about Solanki (by Hassan) 19.04.06
		Solanki is an attacking opener with huge advantages and abilities that the former English Captain Nasser Hussain has made effective use of in the past.
		Vikram Solanki should be seriously considered for the opening slot for these upcoming matches, to give him a chance to prove his abilities.
		On the whole it is apparent that the English team management’s attitude towards Vikram Solanki has produced poor results for England in its recent matches.

	England call up Solanki as cover for injured duo
		England have called up batsman Vikram Solanki, seen here in December 2005, for the final two matches of their one-day series with Sri Lanka as cover for Kevin Pietersen and Paul Collingwood, who are both struggling with injuries.
		England have called up batsman Vikram Solanki for the final two matches of their one-day series with Sri Lanka as cover for Kevin Pietersen and Paul Collingwood, who are both struggling with injuries.
		Solanki, who variously played as an opening batsman and a 'supersub' during the course of his stop-start one-day international career, was omitted from England's original squad for this series - a move that surprised Sri Lanka coach Tom Moody, previously in charge of Worcestershire, the 30-year-old right-hander's county.

		One of the most elegant batsmen of his generation, and a hobby horse of Ian Botham's in his regular commentary-box tirades, Vikram Solanki flirted with the England one-day side in South Africa in 1999-2000, before slipping out of the picture until after the 2003 World Cup.
		Test recognition seemed only a matter of time as he worked his way through the various representative levels and onto two England A tours, but he was a disappointment in his first eight ODIs, with a top score of 24 and a rash of lapses in his usually silken fielding.

	ABC Sport - Cricket - Trescothick and Solanki overpower Proteas
		Marcus Trescothick and Vikram Solanki's record-breaking opening partnership guided England to a six-wicket win against South Africa in their triangular series one-day international at The Oval on Saturday.
		Trescothick and Solanki's partnership was all the more remarkable as in 23 previous one-day internationals against South Africa no England batsman had made a hundred.
		But it was Solanki who set the pace, bringing up his hundred with an on-driven four off Kallis, having faced 101 balls including 16 boundaries.

	England v South Africa, Natwest ODI Triangular Series
		While Trescothick’s fine innings was merely a continuation of his current remarkable form, for Solanki this was an arrival on the international stage which few could dream of matching.
		Trescothick was fed too many easy runs square of the wicket off the back foot, while Solanki opted to loft the ball over the infield, finding the boundary with regularity from the very beginning of his innings.
		Solanki brought up his maiden international century with a classy on-driven four from his 101st ball.

	PakPassion - Pakistan Cricket Forum - Loophole in the substitution rule
		But if you have to announce the team before the toss, then it makes so much sense and the substitution would be based on the match situation where the captain/coach would have to think the pros and cons of doing the substitution.
		E.G. if England were batting first yesterday and lost some early wickets, then the captain would have had to decide whether to substitute Solanki in for one of the bowlers but if he did that, then that bowler wouldnt have been able to bowl when it came to England's turn to bowl.
		Now they have a dilemma of whether to substitute Solanki in for one of the bowlers in the hope that he can get them to a competitive total.

	England's progress continues - [Sunday Herald]
		The mood of the side was clear when Vikram Solanki dropped a regulation catch at gully off Graeme Smith from the day's second delivery.
		He was overshadowed by another Vikram Solanki masterpiece to follow his maiden international century against South Africa at The Oval a fortnight ago.
		In this form it is virtually impossible to bowl at Solanki for he has a huge range of shots and wrists so supple that he can play most of them to almost every delivery.

		Solanki's recall for the ICC Champions Trophy has presented him with his third opportunity to establish himself at international level.
		It is the fielding factor which may have won him the nod over Robert Key, with chairman of selectors David Graveney admitting they wanted "an increase in mobility".

		Solanki launched Lian Wharton for three sixes - the slow left-armer went for 17 off one over - and Mohammad Ali was also given the treatment as the right-hander finished it in style.
		But it had been an heroic effort by Derbyshire, who managed to drag themselves from the brink on Thursday to ensure there was any play on the third day at all.

		I'd drop Gough as he probably won't be there in 2007 and give the youngsters the experience.
		Solanki was unlucky to be dropped, the England selectors are too hung up on instant returns and then give wasters too many chances - Robert Key for instance.
		I know he got 200 vs West Indies but that was on a flat track and against weak bowlers.
