Cricket: Haribhajan takes weed and monkey comments revenge with the ball


Symmonds and the Haribhajan calling him "Monkey" issue led to bitter fights in Sydney test match. Hayden recently last week talking on radio referred Bhajji as "obnoxious weed" and it resulted in emotional tensions on the ground as witnessed today.When Haribhajan came to bowl there are lots of boos around the ground. Under pressure Bhajji took the well deserved revenge by taking both Hayden as well as Symmonds wicket in 1st final of CB series.

Cricket: India vs Australia live 2nd Final 2008 online at Brisbane - Commonwealth Bank Series


Critics call him "match looser" & Indian captain makes a post match comment that he is a "records man". In spite of all these the little man shouldered the 1st finals win responsibility when Indian top order is at its worse form. For Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, this is a mission nicely accomplished in his 20 long year cricket career.

Cricket: Watching online 1st Final India vs Australia at Sydney Commonwealth Bank Series

India is better team than Sri Lanka in this series but not when compared with Australia. India just won one game against Australia in CB series i.e. 4th Match at Melbourne played on Feb 10, 2008 by 5 wickets. This makes Australia the defacto favorites in the 1st final game that will be played on March 2' 2008 at Sydney.

Cricket: Australia vs India 2007/2008 watching online test, oneday series - live streaming sites

India should give their 200% to have any chance to get close to victory in this tour/series. Zee Sports Americas is broadcasting Ind vs Aus matches. I've been waiting for cricinfo to jump on this bandwagon of live streaming as they are the popular ones with online commentary and statistics of games for years.

Business: Book Review : Myths of innovation

This book opens with a chapter that talks about - *"Is it really that Newton found 'laws of gravity' when he saw apple falling to the ground"* - Author gives explanation of why this is a myth that sold very well for ages.

In the book ‘the myths of innovation’, Scott Berkun debunks common myths about innovation. These myths are mostly human short cuts or quick fixes our minds take to help to transmit (promote) the information to other people. Innovation is not something that can be processed and manufactured and I felt Berkun did a great job in describing these realities in the book.

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?

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.
