Saw that match on a replay this morning since there was no play again all day today. It was quite bizarre actually. There was no point won, it was only a first service fault which was returned and the umpire just changed the score from 2-1 to 2-2.
What surprises me is that the players did not realize the score change…are they so focussed that they have no idea what the score is? Either of them??
Yes! I saw the movie. It is truly hard-hitting. I wonder how the powers-that-be have allowed this movie to be made, and released to the general public.
How did Michael Moore get all that footage? Some of it was pretty graphic.
The people all clapped in the theater at the end of the movie. I did too. I felt like. It is a very well made movie, even though it is sort of a documentary. It did not get boring at all. Maybe it was because the characters of the film were quite funny. The part where Bush is shown in the elementary school on the morning of 9/11, is too funny. He was so clueless. Correction, he is so clueless.
Don’t have much planned, except to see the Michael Moore movie. Apparently, even CNN gave it a good review. I have been told that it is tough to please CNN.
Will post what I think of the movie once I see it…
Why would there be no interoperability I don’t know…but this has to stop. Yahoo has other features in its tool that makes me not want to uninstall the yahoo messenger client from my machine like webcam and launchcast, but at work, I would rather have trillian.
Yahoo, please stop this blocking business. If you are afraid of spim, please find other solutions rather than just taking the easy way out by blocking third party clients.
It’s here! I guess this year is a little different from the others because of the expansion team and also because some bigwigs are planning to get traded…
I never liked Nowitzki, so him coming to the Lakers in place of Shaq is not a great thing to look forward to. Hopefully something will change meanwhile ;-)
“There is still five-six months to go for the team to play a Test match. Presently the team will play in one-dayers. After seeing the form of the players in the one-dayers, we will decide on the second opener’s slot,” Ganguly told reporters here.
Now tell me, how does this make sense? Form in one dayers will determine opener? So Akaash Chopra should seriously start looking for contracts in South Africa, the US, maybe even second level English county cricket :-)
Happened to watch the crappy T.H.E.M. What’s the deal? Just some random pranks on groups of people? Just show us the magic, guys. We’ve had enough of Punk’d to be able to appreciate such nonsense.
NBC is losing it. They better line up something strong for Fall, or else CBS is going to run away with all the ad dollars.
I am going to play squash…I have played it for quite some time, off and on, but still don’t know when is it a let and when is it a stroke.
I guess I need to start playing with someone who knows more than I do. Currently I play with guys who learnt the game from me, so they know as much as I do.
I feel that I am finally a part of the new blog-enabled world. I consider myself well-connected with technology, but for some reason I did not get hooked on to blogging. Finally, after much procrastination, here I am.
I am a University of Southern California Trojan. Yes, your 2003 National Football Champions! Go Trojans! Fight On! I still believe we should have been in the BCS Championship game, but what the heck!
Anyway, did not want to ramble on too much. Hopefully you will get to know me more and more as time passes. Be on the lookout for my thoughts on my favorite pastimes - college football, NFL, Formula 1 racing, Cricket, movies, and more!
Considering that the Indian cricket season is about to start, this would be a great topic…who has been more valuable to the Indian cricket team in his career?
On one hand, when Tendulkar started, he was young and he showed the signs of never-say-die from the get go. He has been the pillar of the Indian side for 15 years now. Of course, in the past few years, he’s had some other pillars to help him, but in the first 10 years of his career, he’s been the one who has scored the runs for India. In fact, he has also been instrumental in Indian wins with the ball (Hero cup against South Africa - the last over). There is of course no question about his winning matches for India with his bat.
And on the other hand, there is the rock solid Dravid. He came late to the team, at least in comparison to Sachin, but he is now almost indispensible. I would hate to woof him before the season starts, but that is what he is. The Wall. Dependable. Classic. Whatever you say. But, he has struggled a lot in one dayers. And he has started blossoming only in the past few years. He was good in general from the start. But he has started becoming all the solid stuff only in the past few years. I would not hesitate to agree with the tags he has got today, but only looking at the most recent form. Not for his career. And once again, the knock that Sachin gets for India not winning much, should apply to Dravid too. India just didn’t win much in the late 80’s/early 90’s. Right?
Of course, this is not to say that one is bad and the other is good. Both are GREAT. Both are needed for India to succeed. But to score 13,000 runs in one day matches and almost 10,000 in test matches is no mean feat.
My opinion is that today both are too valuable to the team. But over a career, Sachin has been more valuable to the Indian team than Dravid has been.
My team is collapsing. Hopefully one of Shaq or Kobe will stay. That way, there will be a guy to form the team around. There is no real hope for the next season though. Esp with the hangover of the rout of this year’s finals.
