Cricket: Natwest 2007 : Umpires can win matches and the series too

Catches win matches is a old proverb where as umpires win matches is the new one.The two crucial decisions of Rahul Dravid and Tendulkar was the turning point of the game.Aleem Daar's decisions replayed on big screen might have frustrated each and every Indian fan especially Tendulkar's decision.Tendulkar was looking good and settled in going after Flintoff which would have been fun to watch if he was at the crease for longer time.Just not these two faulty umpiring judgments, what about around eight to ten wrong decisions for India in this tour? why Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid did not challenge the umpire's decision like KP did in one of previous match?

Cricket: June 25, 1932: 75th Anniversary of Indian Cricket's first test match


India plays it's first international cricket match on this very day June 25th, 75 years back i.e. in 1932!!

Surely a very memorable day. Infact interestingly India had England at 19/3 and 149/5 in that match. Still we ended up loosing. But not bad for a start right?

And also considering it took India 20 years to win a test match.

Cricket: India wins easily in opening match against Ireland

Team India started their 81 day long tour with a easy win against Ireland in a rain delayed match.Ireland though new to cricketing world proved their mettle in world cup that made Pakistan exit early and witnessed nasty after events related to Woolmer's death investigation.Though Team India are the favourites in this ODI but should not be self satisfied keeping in mind the Ireland recent past.

Movies: What did director Shankar do to super star Rajni in Sivaji?

No doubt many of us asked our self this question. Maybe you were sitting in a movie theater watching the movie when all of a sudden an actor whose talent you had admired or whose style had seemed so imprinted in your brain pops up in a average movie like Sivaji. A movie so not above your expectations, in fact, that it not only tarnishes them but makes you feel guilty for once believing in the director. After all, you had invested all your hopes on this person (Shankar), and now they're out there destroying every ones expectations. Unless if you're a die-hard Rajni fan (like me), "Sivaji" is perfectly a mixed average movie experience.

Cricket: Aussome Aussie bowlers butchered black caps - New Zealand

Australia just bulldozes everybody so ruthlessly as witnessed today in super eight match against NZ. NZ rested Bond and Oram in this game and probably extra 60 to 70 runs can be attributed to this.Australia makes team play not individuals like Team India , If one star player is out of form others will cover the team. With Gilchrist early dismissal, Hayden and Ponting carried the innings to a solid start in this game.Commentators talked about how Hayden was almost dropped but selectors had faith in him and he proved that in this world cup.This match hundred is Tenth ODI Hundred for Hayden

Cricket: The BCCI statement

Good that India exited world cup soon which gave good insights into aging problems of Indian cricket.As expected if not lot of concrete decisions but it is a good sign that board did take into consideration the feed back from Chappel.The biggest problem I see is that board still did not make clear accountability of responsibilities.read more ...
