Easy way for India to reach the final in the CB series !!!!

The tour of Australia was never easy, but this Commonwealth Bank series was not the one India expected to happen. With a whitewash in the tests, and on verge of elimination from the one day series, India is sure in a perilous state with facing the heat form all sides possible !!!.

With a visible rift in the Indian team, rising discontent among the fans with back to back International team fiasco, India sure has to rise fast and hard to still stay in the series. Well, we knew from the match 8 between Indian Vs Sri Lanka taht, India has a must win its rest of the two matches to have a shot at the finals. With a fighting victory over the Aussies in the match 9, Lankans have turned the heat further on the Indian team !!!. With the odds stacked against India we have to discuss what must India make happen and and pray for to happen, to reach the much elusive finals !!!.

First, looking at the points table, India is in the third position with 10 points, Australia in second place with 14 points and Lankans at the top with 15 points. We don't have to worry about the run rate unless Sri lanka and Australia end up in a tie. So, the known fact is India has to win the rest of its two matches, but with the Lankan win last match things got bit more complicated for India, as usual !!!, but still India can get through if they win just one match !!!. India, now has to hope that Lankans wins its next match against Aussies !!!!. Seeing the role Lankans are in it is going to be a easy shot.

So, considering India wins its two matches (Fingers crossed), they will end up at 18 points. If Aussies win over Lankans they will too end up with 18 points securing the top of the table. If Sri Lanka wins the Aussies in their next encounter, they will end up top and India at the second, sounds coll doesn't it. But, knowing our team we need to consider the possibility that they will crumble with pressure, with the present state it is in. So, what India need is a chance to put itself through to the finals with just one win !!!. India must not lose to the Aussies and win it with a bonus points (Fingers crossed,again ) and has to hope the Aussies lose to Lankans, which will bring India to the second place with 15 points and Aussies at the bottom with 14 points. This might seem funny to even consider the possibility of a bonus point victory, but just one good innings from Sehwag (If he plays, thanks to rotation policy) can turn the table. By now many will think I am being very optimistic, well I am. What can one do, but hope, that some miracle will happen that will gel the team together in spite of such dismal performances.     

Ghost Recon: Future soldier...Get ready for the future !!!!!

YES!!!! the future is here, well almost..its on May 2012, but its exiting anyway for all gamers. It is the video game and the fourth sequel published by Ubisoft. As you will remember how amazing its sequels were, you should all be pumped up by the news, for those who have  not played it, well you need grab hold of it as soon as you can and play it before the may comes !!!!. Well, these games has no continuing story lines but as a gamer, we must play them all !!!!

The game has following main characters and few charecters apart from them come and go as per the flow of the story.
 Commando(Kozak): he is equipped with an assault rifle and a hi-tech shoulder mounted missile launcher. The commando is effectively like human artillery, but very mobile. They come in two types, anti-vehicle or anti-personnel.
Sniper(Pepper): He is a long range specialist. He has a choice between heavy sniper rifles, with good armor penetration, or light sniper rifles, which give better mobility. His secondary weapons include a choice of either AP or EMP grenades.
A reconnaissance expert(30k) and Ghost lead whose weapons I am not sure about.

The gameplay is basically a third person shooter but, occasionally shifts to first person shooter to enable better shooting. This game has 'optical camouflage' which makes the ghosts practically invisible !!!. This skill comes with a disadvantage that you can't move too fast, can't shoot or can't get shot at !!. The player is able to customize and manage each part of the gun even in the X-Box Kinect version..its pretty cool !!!.

The story is simple, it happens in the future. Russia is taken over by Ultra-nationalist force and is trying to expand to Norway, middle east and Asia. The mission is to stay behind the enemy lines and bring them down.

Plot may be simple but animation will bring everything to life !!!!

Indian Cricket Team in shambles due to the rift between the seniors ?

With the battle of words and public digs at each other it ia evident that there is a definite rift in the Indian team. Predictably, BCCI has denied any such dissent in the team.
Let us analyze the comments of the players in the recent CB series and then speculate on the matter :

It all started with Dhoni stating that he would quit playing test format if he deems himself unfit to survive the 2015 world cup

After the 4th Odi of the CB series, commenting about the nail-biting last over finish Gautham Gambhir said "We should have finished this game in the 48th over. We shouldn't have taken the game to the 50th over, that's my personal observation. "

After Gambhir's impressive knocks, when the press asked Dhoni about the continuvation of rotation policy, this what he had to say "Well, if they find it difficult (to sit out) there's no reason why a youngster who has played just 30 or 35 games will find it easier to do that."

Aftrer the match against Australia Dhoni justified the rotation policy by stating the seniors to be 'slow fielders'

 When asked Sehwag about the fielding issues that Dhoni mentioned, he said he was not aware of it ,"I didn't know what he said and what's going on in the media. But we decided, we had a meeting, he chatted with everyone, with Gautam and myself and Tendulkar; he explained that he wanted to give chances to youngsters so youngsters can play all the matches here because the next World Cup is also here, so they'll get an idea of how the pitches behave in Australia,"

So, to come to the conclusion about all these do we need to speculate?, No its very evident and clear there is a visible rift for the whole world to see. Dhoni's comment in the Tests about retirement is thought to be due to loss of control and authority over the team. Gambhir's statement clearly shows him not accepting his skippers' view of matter. Dhoni's dig at senior players and Sehwag's comment of unawareness shows complete lack of communication and belief. Is this dissent in the team reason for its aweful performances in the test and staggering performances in the ODI's ?. It is a question that BCCI must ponder over. In the midst of all these BCCI denied any rift in team and took a dig at the media for misquoting Sehwag !!!.

Considering all these comments, it evident that Indian team, not only have to battle out tough opponents but have to battle out themselves to shine as a unit. Is that going to happen ? with two must win games ahead Indian team must resolve their differences to resurrect the belief that seems to have extinguished in them.

Is Fair cricket being killed by the name 'Spirit of the Game' ?

http://www.espncricinfo.com/commonwealth-bank-series-2012/content/current/story/554716.html

Cricket is an unusual game in which players some time find themselves in a fix or forced into a fix !!!. The term 'Spirit of the Game' is the present day fashion, but the question is do we really understand what it means ?. While, one team is forced to make unnecessary decisions like considering out of game stuffs like peer criticisms, whereas other team walks away smiling, commenting 'Game is the ultimate winner !!!!'. 

Is 'Spirit of the game' so different from the fair game, where we follow rules ?. If so, why were those rules made in the first place?, we could all play by 'Spirit of the game', why bother the rules at all !!!!.  

In Match 8, India Vs Sri Lanka of the Commonwealth Bank series, similar situation arose where Thirimanne was clearly run out (Mankadad) which is well within the rules of the game. Why was 'spirit of the game' bought into question at all, in the first place ?. Why did umpires bought Sehwag in to a fix if the rules permitted the wicket ?. One would argue he could have taken the wicket, but considering the fact that he would be put through criticisms and controversies it is no surprise at all that he has takes such a decision. 

It would have real 'Spirit of the game' if Thirimanne has decided to walk, because by the rules of the game he is taking an UNFAIR advantage by walking out of the crease. This falls under Law 42 it states 'clearly consider unfair the act of batsmen gaining a few feet before the bowler has even delivered'. India, by not sticking with the appeal, they abetted with the unfair play. 

http://www.espncricinfo.com/commonwealth-bank-series-2012/content/current/story/554756.html

Jayawardene commented,  "Try and keep it nice and clean, and tell the umpires to try and keep an eye on the guy. But if he still keeps doing it regularly, and if he is taking advantage, yes then, but I think they did the right thing in the middle. The seniors got together. Like I said, let's move on." when asked about what he would do in that situation. Think about the irony of the statement as Thirimanne committed similar unfair moves even after all the drama when Irfan Pathan and praveen kumar were bowling and umpires made no move to stop him !!!.

So, was the 'Spirit of the game' was uphold at last ?, NO. It should have been Thirimanne who must have considered about the Spirit, not the Indians. It is not fair to say Sri Lanka played an unfair game for the mistake of just one man, but at least from the next match umpires must do their duty correctly and follow the rules as in the book, ICC must make appeals irreversible. Spirit of the game and Fair game is a same entity, team must always understand that following rules won't harm the spirit !!!.   

    

Ninja Gaiden 3

Before talking about Ninja gaiden 3, one must have got the feel of Ninja gaiden 2 to get the feel of what to expect !!!. The story and the graphics were awesome.

Time for Ponting to make a decision - Stay or Leave !!!!

As mentioned previously Punter was axed for his terrible run in the Odi's

http://dailynewzzbuzz.blogspot.com/2012/02/end-of-road-for-ponting.html

Now time has come for Ponting to make his decision regarding his career to Stay or to retire !!!!. "The axing has pushed Ponting close to retirement", Chief Selector Inverarity said. But the selectors and the skipper Clarke emphasize that Ponting be in place for the Test squad. In spite, of his Odi slump his Test scoring has been above par scoring second only to Michael Clarke in the recent test series with India in which Aussies won 4-0.

With series with SriLanka, West Indies, South Africa, India and England fast approaching, him being absent for the Odi's will diminish his match fitness and will he be able to provide enough remains a big question. Considering all these grounds Australian cricket Board has given Ponting a couple of days to discuss the issues with his family and manager and announce his decision in the press meet on Tuesday (Feb, 21st).

Inverarity commented that missing the experience of Ponting will definitely unbalance the team, but the decision made, was in the belief that it is good for Australian Cricket. With his career path open for Test format his Odi career is more or less is over by pondering over the comments by Inverarity. Now its Pontings call to remain just for Tests or to quit for ever !!!!

Will Allen Iverson accept to play Indoor Soccer ?

Allen Iverson, a NBA legend is in the middle of a considerable financial fiasco as he was ordered by the judge to pay $859,896.46 for stifling Aydin & Company Jewelers on a $375,000 bill. This means that he needs to get his NBA job back to pay such a huge amount. He has tried to contact various NBA teams with no apparent result, there has been a talk about Puerto Rican basketball league is trying to woo him in. With the scoring average of 26.7 per game for a regular season and 29.7 points for playoff second only to Michael Jordon and All star MVP award in 2001 and 2005, they see him to be a potential ticket seller.

In the cloud of all these drama, Iverson has got a weird contract call from Rochester Lancers a indoor soccer club, willing to pay $20000 per match and $5000 per goal they score in a match and also expressed willingness to host his friends and family !!!!.

http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=espn:7594567

"Allen Iverson is one of the premier athletes of our time," said Rich Randall, Vice President of the Rochester Lancers. "With his athleticism and competitive hunger, I think he can be a great fit with our team and fans as we make an important playoff push, while also driving interest to an exciting, growing sport."
http://rochesterlancers.com/news.php?id=63#.Tz_kNE_6t8s.facebook

This offer could be a move to exploit the name and circumstance of Iverson to publicize the game rather than a move to appraise his athletic ability. Will Allen Iverson accept the offer? !!!

End of the road for Ponting?

It was announced by Australian selectors that, former captain Ricky Ponting was axed from the rest of the series following his rough patch in the going on tri series between India and Srilanka. His poor runs with just 18 runs to show at a lean average of 3.60 in the ongoing CB Series said the chief selector John Inverarity.

His poor run in Ashes; stripped of captaincy; now his continuing poor run in the tri-series; topping all these, is the remark by the Chief Selector Inverarity "The team will not seem the same without him, but moving on from the omission of players who have been outstanding over a long period of time is the nature of elite sport." has made his career a big question mark !!!

Ricky Ponting, a good captain with two world cup victories under his belt, second highest run scorer in the world, was once considered a worthy opponent for Sachin Tendulkar is now facing with a good possibility that we might never see him again in the international arena, has he hit a dead end of his career, is for the future to tell !!!.
