Yet another loss and more despair for the men in the blue. The ball was turning well and we did have some wickets in the early part of the innings, but too many dropped catches meant that the scoreboard showed 317 instead of something like 250-260.
It just shows how the Aussies can punish you for the small mistakes you make. The Indians have been talking a lot this seris, i dont have a problem with that but you need to perform on the field too, its not as though these players are like politicians who can get away with the talk, you need to walk the walk too and its been very very disappointing looking the Indians loose time and again to the Aussies.
Ahhhhh i dont want to watch another match for sometime......

Happy Days!!!
What a movie. Having seen the earlier movies from Sekhar Kammula, my expectations were way to high for this movie. After a long time booked tickets for this movie 3 days in advance, do not know if I ever did that for any other movie, and the movie has not disappointed me, it was a very good and neat movie.
I may be a little biased here being CBIT alumni and the complete movie is shot in and around CBIT. Apart from Kamilini Mukherjee who plays a guest role everyone in the movie seems to be debutants and they performed like pros. Sekhar needs a big round of applause here for making a movie that takes everyone back to their college days and makes you feel good. There are several scenes in the movie where you can relate to your college, I am suddenly missing all my CBIT friends.
Folks, I would highly recommend this movie to every college goer, if you are from CBIT, this one makes you proud and you feel great that Sekhar is CBIT alumni :)

Sledging
Looking at the Indian teams body language during the T20 world cup was great and they simply played fearless cricket, its was very evident that if you play fearless cricket you can win. Bangaldesh did it to South Africa and Australia, Indian batsmen being more talented than the Bangladeshies they may win more with these strong teams.
The problem with the Indians in this present series against Australia is that they are trying to beat the Aussies in their own game, which may work sometimes and may not work lot of times. You play with your stregth, get motivated with all the sledging and show what you are capable of aka Yuvraj Singh hitting Chris Broad for 6 sixers, that may not happen all the time but we need to show courage and stand up against them.'
Instead of that we are just taking the sledging a little further and we Indians show lot of emotion and let the aussies get on top of us. I hope better sense prevails and we get on top of the Aussies.
The big guns also need to fire, if they dont we should just drop them and go with the young folks, they have performed and they should be given a chance, its ok if they loose some games, they would gain confidence. Meanwhile the seniors should concentrate on the test matches - we have never won a series in Australia - infact i think we have won just 2 test matches in Australia, maybe we should work more on that :)
