Will Symmos be bac



CA loosing yet again a good allrounder n a team player ....

It really takes a lot of pressure and effort to break through in to the present australian team which roy made it after a lot of good innings and brilliant power knocks and his mind blowing fielding n accurate direct hits
After all the efforts is he throwing them away ????
Might be ...But wat has made him do this ????
May be the way his case was dealt by the CA and ICC where in BCCI money power threw out all the tantrums required to save their player where in the CA utterly disappointed the senior pros of the team.
Ricky n haydos had digested it and have come along but roy seems to be still dissatisfied by that matter and his commitment to the team thenafter had always been a matter under concern for the team.
Though he played a few brilliany knocks he wasn't the same roy whom people ve seen earlier

BUt hope to see u back ROY
coz CA cannot afford to loose u for pretty silly reasons like this
n more over u r one of the best players amongst the world in any form of the game

WHAT A DAY OF CRICkET

It was a great day of intriguing test cricket . Two good spinners showing their craftsmanship.Two fast bowlers showing their skills.
Firstly the spinners and their subtle variations which really bamboozled the FAB 4 of the India who are known to be the best in the business against spin bowling with a vast amount of experience and Runs against their name.MENDIS the name itself is a mystery for the Indian batsmen as they are unable to unfold the web of his bowling .In two tests he has 18 victims to his name n has the wall n Very Very Special 4 times . Thats not any luck or a fluke but the pure subtle variations n the spin n the way he uses the fingers with the control that pigeon possessed as a fast bowler .But this guy has got it at the start of his glorious career going to happen in the coming years ................Murali n mahela are surprised at the way mendis had responded .Another Five for on the flat track is a superb achievement by any standards.

Now coming towards the Fast bowlers -----ntini n kallis

Ntini was below par for most of the year and was underrated as a bowler with the reign of steyn but he delivered when it was needed the most when the batsmen have failed and giving a fare advantage to the england under the new captain KEVIN who are fighting for the pride having nothing to loose. He led from the front scoring a ton and taking england to a position from where they could control the match but then came the spell from kallis which removed three quick wickets to give proteas a ray of hope to get back into the match . the wickets he removed were of KEV, FReddie, and collingwood all capable of single handedly taking the match away from proteas.

THIS REALLY LEAVES US FOR A PERFECT WEEKEND WITH TWO GOOD TEST MATCHES BEING POISED PERFECTLY

unbelievable news but true:(

Its been a day of unbelievable things ......firstly had a hiccup with my buddy ........secondly men in blue especially viru playing well .........the news about the new RAJNI's flick KUCHELAN to be banned in Karnataka!!!!!!....the sudden demise of the Ishmeet(just 20) an upcoming singer and the winner of VOI..!!!.......a suicide in the ladies hostel of my university for the detainment !!!.........narender modi missing the bomb by a close shave.........And more surprisingly the bombs in ahmedabad had analogue clocks which worked brilliantly and the bombs at surat had integrated circuits which failed ( surprisingly strange to know that IC failed and analogue passed)

Is it still the gentlemen's game?????

I was just grazing through the few cricket articles right from the India down under serious I just couldn't understand is it still the Gentleman's game kya bholke??
Agreed there were some controversial decisions that went against Indians in that series but can that be called the reason for the Indian loosing that match where in pup bamboozled the tail in ,an over, the last over.
But what followed that is really ruining the game for sure.The financial prowess of the BCCI , more than 2/3rds of the ICC revenues , being shown clearly.The aussies were never again the same in that series ,lacking their mark AGGRESSION, reason BCCI ....
Later came the IPL ,the million dollar baby of the BCCI ,the copy stuff of the ICL (rebel league). [both being the copies of the stanford of windies].It again showcased the financial prowess of the BCCI.
In the Asia cup also it was no brainer to see the way the decisions of the umpires went.There were many close calls that were given in favor of the Indians.No complaints from other sides reason financial power vests with BCCI.
Now the ongoing test series if the new review would have not been there its no brainer for anyone to guess the fate of the match.

TIME TO THINK BEYOND

A perfect example of how a test match has to be played and in particular its the perfect example pf the real spin bowling. Let me stress again its the perfect example of the real spin bowling and really i go by the literal meaning the real spinners.
Who is the real spinner ??Anybody who claims he is a spinner can he be called so or someone with bundle of years of experience and variations in pace alone can he be called a spinner???
Let me get into the match details and check on the statement i made
The rain gods might have sensed the result against the BCCI team and tried hard to reduce the playing by enforcing a late start.Already a session and a half was lost on the starting day and the pitch had something in it for the fast bowlers though for a smaller period.
Zaheer and Ishant bowled well at the start of the innings and grabbed two early wickets making the way into the middle order.Probably the strongest and formidable one considering the circumstances and the stats at the venue support it.Mahela showed his class and Warnapura and samaraweera who are trying to make an impact at the higher level of the cricket that he can play and deliver against the top teams also.Both went on to make centuries to take SL to a safe position.Then came Dilshan who was chosen ahead of Chamara Silva who had a point to be prove for his selection and took SL to a position where they need not bat again by reaching a mammoth 600.
They batted for the whole 3 and half days including the lost session.It was like they were batting on VENUS
Mahela was cautious and made a right decision bu declaring soon the card showed 600.
The whole situation seemed perfectly poised for a draw until the most careless duo forgot what they are playing in as openers. They played in hurry as if its another T20 match . God help em .The wicket of viru at 36 in 5.1 overs was the start of the downfall of the most experienced and the most commendable batting lineup fielded by BCCI.To no man's surprise it is the only wicket to fall for the quickie
The game was set well for the debutant Mendis n the spin wizard Muralitharan to rattle through the Indian batting line-up.Mendis bowling with all the media hype on him lived up to the expectations and bamboozled the wall with a perfect delivery to rattle the stumps. Enters Murali to get the priceless wicket of inform gambhir.He removed the duo of sachin and saurav and left no qualms in claiming another five for -.Mendis finished the innings with the wicket of VERY VERy SPECIAL with a even VERY VERY SPECIAL DELIVERY to rattle the wood.
It was no brainer that Mahela asked Indians to follow-on.
Indian batsmen dint even learn from their earlier mistakes.Viru and gambhir again played in the same way . God someone tell em that its a test match and there is no shortage of the overs here.Mahela dint waste any time in getting his spinners into the attack and they responded well by biting the nails in the coffin as early as possible and ensured that match doesnot even needed another day or session and finished of the innings in style with Mendis signing off the match a two wicket over.
Here one cannot understand what made the two spinners of the lankans unplayable???
Is it the mammoth total they were chasing or the eyes of the media on them or the amount of cricket they have been playing or is it that they felt they had their share of money for this year by playing in the million dollar baby of BCCI , the IPL???
Leave about the batsmen ..,,..What about the two indian spinners who couldnot make it count??
Can we call Kumble still a spinner ??
Agreed he has stats to justify him as one of the best bowlers of all time in Indian cricket... HE has several variations which really are harder to pick..... is that enough to call him a spinner??
What Mendis did was far more better than what Murali did!!!Its not an exaggeration . Though Murali walked away with the MOM award Mendis got what he deserves from everyone ,,.the media ,,the captian .,,the rival team ...and also from the MOM himself that it was easier to pick wickets from the other side as mendis was making batsmen squeez for the runs with his impeccableline and length................
ITS DEFINITELY TIME TO THINK BEYOND AND SEARCH FOR A REAL SPINNER AND THINK BEYOND SRT AND VIRU

LAST TWO DAYS OF MY ENGG--PROJECT VIVA

After a torment of about two months at last we had our project viva fixed for may 5. I was so happy as I need not come again to see the dept. and most importantly the "satti" .The day before I had a hectic work thats to finish the so called replica of our project. It had become a routine for me to be at our HOD's workplace by 10 everyday by then.Sir was not at the place and my classmates and my buddy and my project mate Upender were waiting there for the arrival of sir. Slowly we started gossiping about how the viva would be and such things. Sir had come at about half past 11 or so . He just called up the guy who was supposed to be our savior and to add to our ill fate he was away with his parents for a day out. but to our relief he has accepted to be at the place at least in the eve by 6or so.Now that we had no other job till he comes we again started our routine of passing the time by gossiping and cursing our fates and and also the "satti" . HOD left by around 1 to have lunch assuring that he would be back by 3 or so. We had some light snacks and are back to our business( gossiping n cursing satti ).
By three or so Rakesh had also come down to the place to get the program dumped into the micro controller along with his teammates. We cracked jokes and talked about every issue that came to our minds right from movies to serials , college to school , sports and games and everything..u name it thats in our topic.
As usual HOD was not on time and to our surprise the guy who was our savior for the day had come on time at about 6. He rang to sir and he had come there in about half an hour . Sir had divided the work to him and made the gals who were there to leave first by finishing their job. By now its almost 9 slowly but gradually we were making our progress we crosschecked the hardware part of us and corrected it. At this hour Rakesh's program was not working and they had to work on the program and that left me a partner for the return journey (as he almost comes with me half way back to my home). I along with the savior for the day started to work vigorously on the programming . He was really upset with himself that he was even unable to do the simplest of the programs. (but this is the toughest for us). By some 12 or so he felt almost sleepy but as that was the only time left for us to show something to the external i started to do the programming by using various logical sequences. It went on for about an hour . At about 2 or so i had succeeded in displaying a part of what we intended to do. I was happy and woke our savior and he did some modifications and we again started working on it . By some 5 we had almost finished on what we intended to show to the external though with several modifications( We started with something in mind and ended by doing something else).
Somehow the job of presenting something to the external was done. By now I was totally exhausted and left by asking Upender to assemble the hardware on the board.( But he could not complete it and I had to come and finish it up again). Rakesh and me started back home and were at secbad by some 6 in the morning. To our luck we got the buses and boarded them and I was back at home by some 7 .
I went home finished my daily routine and got ready by 7:30 and had a little breakfast and started back to the HOD's workplace on my activa. I rode at such a speed that I was at my destination in just about 20min or so. I waited at the place as it was locked and HOD said he would be there in 15min. After sometime of waiting one of the students of sir who was in her M.tech had come to collect some material from sir regarding her project. At about 9 sir had come and i had finished the assembling of the kit and giving it the final touches by 9:45. Rakesh also came over to the place and we both started back to the college and were in the college on time . (External has just come ahead of us).
Our viva started and I was like relieved as I believed that everyone would get a 'S' in their project.But my project mates were not of the same opinion and were a little tensed. Upender was the one who was more tensed than anyone in our class . I was strong at the technical stuff and was like provoking him to ask something to that side. At last we had completed our viva and he asked us to be ready with the kit we had and gave out some inputs on how the project thesis has to be made.( We made it in a day I suppose ). I was now totally relaxed but my mates were still not until they heard from others that they too were given the same treatment inside. We got ready with the kit and were talking about various things which I hardly remember as I was feeling sleepy(an effect of previous days work).
The external came and dint even check out instrument completely ( We are saved ) . He again gave us some suggestions and wished us good luck for our future and left.
Thus we completed our project and I felt as if I won the whole world . Here I would like to mention that we haven't got our thesis reports signed by our guide "satti". I dint even meet him for that (stood at the back when everyone approached him for it so that he could not even see me). After that I talked about various things with Teja (my project mate) and we also took the no dues from the department and had few signatures done and we both chatted for sometime at the parking lot . At about half past three I bid bye to my frens and started back to my home to have rest for at least some two days as I hardly could sleep for about 15 days as I had to stay at the HOD's place as upender alone was reluctant to do the thing though his house was near for some reasons unknown ....
I reached home at about 4 0r so and slept . When I woke up to my surprise it was the next day morning 5 ......
