War of words

Ponting has taken Zaheer's bait. Lets see!

Tendulkar

Tendulkar is not the only one looking for achieving the record. A very enthusiastic statistician (Peter Marriott) is very eager for Tendulkar to achieve the landmark in Mohali and his reasoning is very strong

I was never any good at batting but in my last innings I managed 14 not out and so it is surely not too much to ask a player of Tendulkar’s calibre to score just one more run than I did.

Can't argue against that! Read the full piece here

Jumbo has a challenge to face

I have been one of the ardent supporters of Kumble all his career. But I think he has never faced as much criticism as he is facing now. He was questioned before. But that was his efficacy as a spinner overseas. In India he was Jumbo and you never questioned his efficacy. Until he became the captain. Now he faces his worst criticism. He himself knows if he is upto it. If he thinks so, we should respect his opinion for his services he performed. But of course you will give him time to realize if he has it in him or not. I really hope he will come good in the Mohali test. I really want him to go out on a high as India's greatest bowler !

A very well put paragraph

Perhaps, though, he has a point to prove to himself. That on one of the rare occasions in his career when he has had to justify his place in the team - and he happens to be captain at the time - he can prove his worth. He is rightly celebrated as one of the most selfless and relentless servants of Indian cricket. But move over five-fors on unhelpful pitches in England and Australia: this is Kumble's biggest challenge. And he should be given the right to take that challenge on - at least as long as he is not blocking the path of any deserving youngster.

I hope to say the same at sometime in the future!

Important day

A very important day for my family. Now, my house officially has two Masters in Engineering people! I am very proud of my sister who completed her M.Tech today from JNTU Hyderabad.

On other fronts too today seems to be a good day. Things have to alter. They will slowly! It will require some effort and I hope I will have the strength to carry them out!

To add to the awesomeness of the day.. my code is also working!
