Dhoni,

What a run chase? You can’t imagine more than this . . .

Lankans would have thought the Indian innings is all over once the Little Master was gone, but they never knew the champion in the form of Dhoni.

What an innings under pressure! 15 boundaries and 10 sixes, Whack! Dhoni has used the poor Lankans in picking balls from the boundaries all the time.

What an amazing turn around for the Indian cricket team, whenever they are about to chase such high total, batting collapse is the best known feature man a times, but this time it’s a turn around.

Hope its not only the resurgence of Sachin alone, the whole Indian team has got some new spirits in it, is that because of the much awaited captaincy change? Or is it because of the aggression that Sachin and Dravid are instilling among the fellow mates, with the guidance of Greg Chappell? Whatever it is India is winning!

Dravid, its Great captaincy, keep going!

Kudos Dhoni, we can't get a better gift for Diwali than the cracking innings you played!

Sachin is back with a bang!

Sachin is back with a bang, sad that he missed the well-deserved century by 7 runs …

93, in the comeback match after a long rest as he suffered from Tennis Elbow, (we can definitely add few other political reasons too for the rest) and that too with a strike rate of 96.8, something the Little Master alone can do, wish he continues this form through the entire series, then the whole Sri Lanka will go for a six!

Pathan, guess totally inspired by Sachin made some swashbuckling 80, well I have always felt that he should be promoted up the order, he just plays the kind of strokes a genuine batsmen would play.

Innovations happening under the captaincy by Dravid, great job, Mr.Wall. We expect a quick 50 from you too!

Let us throw away the egomaniac Ganguly for ever !!!

Assumption is one chief Indian Mentality !

Saw something about the dress code in todays daily…

Not sure why there should be a dress code for college goers, agreed that a decent kind of dressing should be done, but having rules for that sake is really sad! Don’t know from where these people get this controlling attitude!!

Coming to the part of IT companies (including mine) many have formal dress code, Client visit being the rationale behind. Though the client never insists on any formal code we Indians ourselves put a ring around us and assume client needs this type of environment. But I have seen practically many clients who visit the work place come in a way that is comfortable to them, but the work horses whether they are comfortable or not should follow dress code, really unjustifiable!

People should be responsible and see that they dress in a decent way, nothing much can be done about that. Few rule breakers will be always present!

Creativity can flow like hell only when uncontrolled !

Cricket fever starts . ..

India - Srilanka series to be telecasted in DD !

Sachin vs Lara, the comparision ends here !

Again the Aussies registered a thumping victory over the World XI in the 6 test match proving they are the real champions!

Many times people compare Lara vs Sachin, Lara has played totally 5 innings in this Johny Walker Super Series, his highest score being 36 and the total runs in the whole of the series must come around 50 odds runs. I bet if Sachin has played in this series there would have been a marked difference in the World XI performance, and for sure there might have been a couple of 100’s from the little master. Spinners in the form of Warne and MacGill, well I don’t think they are a threat to Sachin. At least, now people should not compare Sachin with Lara, Sachin is the greatest !!!

Will The Wall be strong ?

Happy that Dravid is given back the captaincy !

GOD India should win all the matches, so that Ganguly is never considered back for the team !!

Rahul The Wall Dravid, stand tall as usual !!!

The world is not enough !

Many consider the Australian cricket team as the professional cricket team around the world and yes they stand by that. It was yet again a spectacular show in the tri-series against the World XI. The standards and the quality game set by them is hard for any of the contemporary team to achieve.

The 30 year old, Mike Hussey is the latest sensation for Australia, proving to be successful in almost all the matches he had played so far. He along with Watson showed some stunning batting performance to post a huge total for the World XI to chase in the 3rd match and final match.

Australians had convincing victories in all the three matches in the ICC Johnnie Walker ODI Super Series played in the indoor stadium, Telstra Dome, Melbourne. Many hoardings in the stadium showed “The world is not enough”.

Guess the World XI has to prove something in the upcoming 6-day test match.

Form matters !!!

Form matters a lot - kim-clijsters,

Form matters a lot in cricket, especially for the batsmen. A batsman in form can tear apart any sort of bowling attack.

This form now has something to do in tennis too! Yes, Kim Clijsters of Belgium is riding on her form, she completely dominated the women tennis this year in the US open, and now went on to win the Fortis Championships for the fifth time. Another fact is that she became the first woman to earn more than $4 million in one season.
