The Asian Champs!

After a controversial series in Zimbabwe,the Indian cricket team came up strongly to clinch the Asia cup.The team this time had all the senior and the regular players except the one,Yuvi. Under Mahi's captaincy they all actually did a decent job,that made them to win the Asia cup after 15 years.This is a huge win and the country will not forget this win..There had a match where,India had to face Pakistan in one of the Asia cup encounter and this match promised all the actions,a perfect India-pak encounter..Pakistan making India to chase 268 approx,India chasing it successfully,This was done almost in the last over with Bhajji hitting over the Top for a six and India winning with three balls to spare,certainly Singh was King that day,and Raina too changing the coarse of the match..India did come up well in the whole tournament,by losing just one game prior to the finals and that game saw Maharoof taking a hat rick against the Indians,and never mind Indians came strong to win the finals,the seamers set the floor for India,India making 268 in the finals with major contribution coming from Karthik,making 66 and all the other batsman contributing in 30's and 40's,Indian seamer's did bowl well to contain the Srlankan top order and at one stage they were 72/5,India pulled off an easy 81 run victory over the Lankans.. and this would be remembered for a long time! well done India!

Tri series flunk!!

The Micro max mobile tri-series that had India,Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe.. Saw some poor cricket from the Indian cricket players!with the selectors testing the bench strength by resting the senior players,that never worked!India losing back to back matches with Zimbabwe,and winning one match with srilanka, saw only Rohit Sharma hitting a couple of centuries in the series,Well what's happening? India scoring 283 against Zim in one of the games,saw Indians were unable to defend the total,Indian bowlers never had a clue against the Zim Batsman..This led the Indian team to lose another game against Zim,Indians scored just 194 and it was an Easy chase for Zim!They made it as quick as possible gaining the bonus point!With the world coming up just an year ahead,Testing the bench strength is one of the funniest things!

The Bar Camp Chennai : BCC3

This needs no Introduction,The Bar Camp chennai,edition 3 an Unconference where geeks meet up and share the technology and stuffs! I was amazed when I myself got registered for the first time for the Bar Camp chennai edition-2 that happened in IIT-Madras a two day event and It was an great experience to listen to some of the great speakers who came and shared their thoughts and That made me to participate again at the Bar Camp chennai Edition-3 with some of my friends I got registered and this time the venue was at Vadapalani SRM Campus(old TCS Office) and as usual I was late this time too,I certainly missed the first session,and had no clue on what they spoke about and after reading from other blogs I came to know the session was all about "java scripts" etc



Ok,Before moving on to the sessions that happened on 11th of April Sunday,I seriously apologize,I was unable to recollect the names of those who presented the sessions,But i was well enough to recollect what ever happened that day!

When I first entered the hall-1 I heard a question,What do you call a "spoof of Wikipedia?? and almost there were some group of answer that reached my ear and it was Uncyclopedia,this was the first thing i heard when i entered the Bar camp chennai Edition-3

Next was a session about an NGO Rang De, it was quite interesting one,almost all have to admit that all the sessions at the bar camp were really interesting and useful and informative,then we had a talk on Intellectual properties and from where i came to know to know about the patents and Creative Commerce and some more facts,and a session about ANDROID before moving on to the lunch was really very interesting,the guy who presented this,talked about it's applications advantage some more techie stuffs.

Post Lunch we had some sessions that were more interactive than the morning sessions and the after noon session saw Mr.Kiruba Shankar making his presence,and there were talks about the Internet Society of Chennai,by a gentleman,and Sessions on Linkedin and the most interesting was a session on Entrepreneur Ship and Love! It was really moving out well it was a topic mixed with some humor and useful Info,and a general topic which all could speak out happened,that was about Movies and how to make good movies,and that too was even more Interactive,It was almost evening by that time,when we had a session on Video Broadcaster that had contents about My video Designer,Video Mail etc,and a session on Drupal that had content Management system etc and Before Winding up the day we had a session on collab mind Mapping by a third year engg student from VIT.

Thats how you play a quality cricket!

Certainly.Yeah Indians have been playing some quality cricket,When the South Africans won the first test Against India,India had no other way to win the next test match @ eden gardens and same happened too,India squaring the test series,They were brilliant in all aspects,some mind blowing batting from quality batsman like Sachin and Laxman and even Sehwag and Dhoni made centuries.Then it was up to Bhajji to pick up wickets and put SA in more trouble,things went on by perfect planning and Indians won the second test played @ eden gardens..The the ODI,of-course India has the young brigade in the batting line up and though missing yuvi and Gauti that was not making a big difference, Dinesh karthik utilized his chance very well and the big big thing happened! Sachin the first player to hit a double century in an ODI, and remained not out on 200,that was certainly a treat to watch he was batting the whole 50 overs and got his double century in just 147 balls,well supported by Karthik and Dhoni who made a quick fire 50,one thing that made all sachin fans up-set was,Dhoni gave Sachin a strike on 49.3 that time Sachin was on 199,but he remained on 199 right from 48th over this was really frustrating,when a player like Sachin in batting on other end who is on 199,Dhoni was playing like a stupid at the other end hitting 6's and 4's who need all those?? is that more important than sachin hitting a double century?? This shows Indian captain is more selfish to make runs for himself...

First test with Proteas ends!

It was a South Africa's tour Of India,The first test was scheduled at Nagpur and As usual,It was highly expected from the Indian players since they were No.1 side in the test team,and hope they will be more confident after a couple of wins over Bangladesh,But the things got changed,from 6/2 India never got a chance back into the game due to the flawless batting from Amla and Kallis,Indian bowlers felt very very difficult to pick wickets.Amla was at his best and remained not out till the end,and some how proteas declared with a score over 500 making things difficult for India,as the same happened In-form gambhir got out without getting a good score,and somehow Sehwag got his 100 and Badrinath on his first appearance got his maiden 50,and after that India did not see any big contributions and were forced for follow-on,at least they should have come back,but no! once again Gambhir getting out very early and this time sehwag did not do much and Sachin getting his 46 century was making every Indian happy! and once again no big contributions! that saw India loosing the game and South Africa winning the game with an innings to spare...will meet @ eden gardens!

150 and still.....

Feel happy,this blog has over 150 posts,thanks for the support and I hope it still continues... till then happy blogging all!

trial pink balls in Futures

Day-night Test cricket could be a step closer after Cricket Australia confirmed they would trial a pink ball under lights during next week's Futures League match at Adelaide Oval. The test-run is intended to determine how the pink ball holds up in the longer format of the game and how visible it is when used at night.

The three-day game between South Australia and Western Australia's second XIs will be played from 2.30pm until 9.30pm, starting next Tuesday, February 2. At the same time, a Futures League match in Brisbane will use a pink ball while a game in Melbourne will feature a white ball, with both those games to be play during the day only.

If the pink ball does not discolour too much, maintains the characteristics of a red ball throughout an innings and is visible to players and spectators under lights, it could bring day-night Tests much closer. The ICC and Cricket Australia are keen to play Test cricket under lights in an effort to increase the viewing audience and they are hopeful the first games could be played within two years.

"Cricket Australia is committed to finding a way to make day-night Test cricket a reality and the Adelaide Oval trial is one of many steps that need to be taken before this vision is realised," James Sutherland, the CEO of Cricket Australia, said. "The results of the trial won't provide all the answers or a definitive outcome, but it will give us important information and feedback on the delivery of the project."

Next week's games will be followed by further trials to assess how the coloured balls show up on television. The four-day domestic first-class competition in the West Indies this month has already featured day-night games with pink balls as the push for day-night Tests gains momentum

Not a horrible loss!

Toss really matters for India and In this Idea cup MS dhoni was not lucky as ever he used to win the toss and this time,Kumar Sangakkara was doing the right thing in the finals,b/w India and SL Idea cup,India was put on to bat after SL won the toss and right from the beginning Indian batsmen were struggling to get runs and the Sri lankan bowlers were not making any mistake,not giving any kind of loose balls,it was only sehwag who was as usual playing a blitzkrieg and he too got out in a cheap fashion and Including the Indian captain was not taking up the responsibility to stay at the middle till the end and India was almost 5 down for 60 and just 12 overs on the broad it was Suresh Raina and Ravindra Jadeja who anchored India to a respectful total of 245 and they both had a brilliant 106 run partnership and Raina continued till he got a century and tried to stay till the last ball,but he coudt't,but he was bating superbly made 106 that was more than enough for India to come out from the struggle and It was up to the bowlers to contain the decent target,but as usual the dew factor coming into the play and once again Indian bowlers has been hammered right from the beginning and though Indians tried to get the first wicket in the first over Dilshan and Sangakkara once again played well to take off the pressure on them and at last it was Mahela finishing off the things in style...
