Yuvraj's 6 sixes !!!
Here's Yuvraj's Singh's 6 sixes in Stuart Broad's over at the T20 World Cup !!!
Thursday, September 20, 2007
Yuvraj scores a perfect "6" but India in no position to beat South Africa!
After having watched yesterday's performance every Indian was ecstatic. Yuvraj's timely perfect score gave our T20 team a huge total to defend. The win was a welcome relief but England had lost all its matches in the group. So there is nothing to feel overly ecstatic. We could have won by a bigger margin yesterday, but bygone is bygone.
We got off with a great start with Sehwag and Gambhir just like against NZ, but both Sehwag and Gambhir conveniently got out after having scored 50 runs a piece. I say they will not last in today's match against the SA's bowling attack because even they are great strikers of the ball(on paper) they lack the frame of mind needed to stay on the pitch for long . Once these duo are gone, we might be in a situation just like against NZ or even worse.
Then comes Uthappa, I had high hopes for this dude. I thought he would have been an asset to the current team. But he got out in the most clumsy way that anyone can imagine. I wouldn rely on this guy. Dhoni has not been playing the way we would want him to from the world cup and with the added weight of captaincy there is no surety that he'll not disappoint us. But I would like to trust him today but may be not too much. If he stays on the field long enough he can snatch us a win. And Karthik was someone I was looking forward to be a delight to watch. I don expect anything more than twenty odd runs from him today. And Yuvraj...hmmmm. I would have hoped he would play for India today rather than to prove Flintoff a point. But neways as long as he puts a huge total on board I don give a damn. He and dhoni are the only ones who can save us today in batting.
About the bowlers, I love Pathan & Bhaji. I think they are bowling well as of now but they have to be top notch today if we want to go any further. As for R.P Singh I don have any opinion, I haven't seen him play much. Other bowlers depends on whom Dhoni will pick. I think he should give Agarkar another chance. I know he has been expensive but i have this gut feeling he might fire today. As for fielding I think there is something hereditary, we just love to allow balls pass by us.
Please dont be mistaken by my tone, I am an ardent Indian team supporter but there are some things one cant ignore for a big game like today. Score board doesn't say it all,it is the team that matters in the end. And I really dont think that India has put forward an excellent team even compared to Pakistan or New Zealand.

Nokia Prism Collection - 7500 & 7900
The Nokia Prism Collection consists of the Nokia 7500 Prism and the Nokia 7900 Prism, handsets which combine striking design, individual style with state-of-the-art technology and are aimed at the fashion conscious user.
NOKIA 7900
1) The Nokia 7900 Prism is the top of the range model in the Prism Collection. It comes with glossy front and an aluminium back cover, which is coin-stamped and laser-etched in Nokia Prism's signature diamond-cut design.
2) The screen on the Nokia 7900 is a little different from most, as it uses an 240x320 pixel OLED (Organic LED) display rather than the traditional TFT LCD. The 7900 Prism is one of the first phones by Nokia to feature an OLED screen. OLED uses much less power than TFT LCDs and has a greater contrast and colour range.
3) A 2-megapixel camera is built in with 8x digital zoom and flash. The camera is capable of recording DVD-quality video (H.264). The phone has a multi-format music player, FM stereo radio and 1GB of internal memory.
NOKIA 7500
1) The Nokia 7500 Prism is described as the ' quirky sibling' to the Nokia 7900 Prism. The 7500 Prism comes with a few less features than its older sibling but is equally as stylish.
2) The Nokia 7500 Prism is one of the most striking phones on the market with bold geometric patterns and distinctive triangular keys. It comes with 3 'colour accents' - plastic coloured trims for the side of the phone which can be easily changed to suit your mood.
3) The 7500 prism comes with a Music player with support for MP3/AAC/eAAC+/WMA formats with skins and album art Nokia Prism, headphones and pouchsupport. It boasts a playback time of up to 9 hours and iscompatitble with Windows Media Player. The phone comes with 30MB internal storage but comes with a Micro SD memory card slot capable of taking upto 2Gb memory cards, enough foraround 1500 tracks.

Twenty 20 World Cup
So Twenty 20 World Cup is here - the next generation of cricket. It seems to be promising. The most important thing for me is that no side is a weak side in this competition. This is evident from the games of Aus v/s Zim & even Ban v/s WI. This makes it even better for all teams participating. Everyone is at par.
Twenty 20 cricket for me is 50 over cricket without the middle 30 overs. Heres how it goes - First 10 overs the batsman try to make use of the powerplay & smash the ball all around the park & the last 10 overs is a slog fest trying to acquire as many runs as possible. The middle 30 overs seem a bit boring.
Well this Twenty 20 World Cup has got my attention indeed. Who wouldnt want to see good teams lose to minnows (unless its your team). For the neutrals its a damn good way to spend your time when you have nothing else to do !!!
Rest Assured - Entertainment Guaranteed. For all those who dont know or like cricket Cheer for boundaries & wickets coz you'll get to see pretty ladies dance on platforms !!! :) Hehehehehheheh !!!

The Concept Of GRE !!!
Here's something to give some thought to. The GRE exam held worldwide - can it really judge a person. I'm saying this cause of things i have noticed recently.
2 websites - ORKUT & BLOGSPOT - playing a huge role.
Firstly with the help of communities on orkut, people are sharing vital information about tests with each other. There are threads everywhere with quantitative & analytical questions from previous tests. Every month has its own thread, with those who have given the tests in tht month posting in the questions - this constitutes the month "database".
The same concept is on blogspot. People have made blogs for every month, separate ones for quant & verb & even question wise.
So heres the trick - Take a date towards the end of the month. Keep a close watch on these commmunities & blogs throughout the month. Make sure to solve all problems in quant from these "databases" & learn all the words that appear there. I'm pretty sure you'll end with a score above 1300.
Now can GRE actually judge a person from this??
