Good Test Performance

Indians played decently in the second innings of the first test match against west indies. Wasim Jaffer once again proved that he good choice for opening. He was lucky at times but played with good shot selection. Shewag needs to be more consistent in converting his 40s into fifties and hundreds. He was playing well untill lack of footwork got better of him. Shewags still has problem with ball moving in air. He banks his batting on hand eye coordination as long as the ball is not moving in he is fine but late swing troubles him which was evident from his dismissals in both the innings. VVS Laxman was in good nick but i think he lost his confidence in getting bid scores. He needs to score a quick fifty to get his confidence back.

Indians are in good position. They will have to play real bad to lose this test match. With Dravid, Yuraj, kaif and dhoni still in batting lineup, they can put the WI on back foot. Today's play will be crucial in determing whether india can go for a win.

Runs at top are good sign for india and we might see a reversal of fortune in Test series.

First impression of “Final Draft” for me was unrealistic. I thought the protagonist girl was to fragile in her thoughts to inspire a arrogant professor to mends his way. Please understand that my views on this play are from my point of view and they may sound naïve. But I guess in any work if you want to reach the pinnacle of perfection you have to take in account all the viewer (also a knucklehead like me). I didn’t had problem in understanding the message of the play. But when I watch anything whether...

T20 World Cup Debacle- Lessons Learned

India unexpectedly knocked out of ICC T20 World Cup. All the team members were part of the IPL and had good match practice. All other foreign players who played in IPL are having game of there life in T20. Whether it is Chris Gayle, AB devillers and others. It was surprising barring Indian players all others who played in IPL are performing to the peak. Indians have been guilty of overdoing the T20 format. As rightly pointed out by coach Kirsten that the team lost because of fatigue. Dhoni can come up with other reasons as most Indian captain do, he cannot deny the negative impact of IPL on Indian players. Take a example of hard hitting batsman Suresh Raina. He was not able to score runs in T20 world cup even though he was very successful in IPL. The basic flaw in his approach was, he played in the world cup as if he was playing for Chennai super kings and opposition was Mumbai Indians. Youngster like him needs to understand the importance of playing according to the situations, pitch...
