Waka Waka
Like the lyrics....also the tune...
You're a good soldier
Choosing your battles
Pick yourself up
And dust yourself off
And back in the saddle
You're on the frontline
Everyone's watching
You know it's serious
We're getting closer
This isnt over
The pressure is on
You feel it
But you've got it all
Believe it
When you fall get up
Oh oh...
And if you fall get up
Oh oh...

A new Quiz URL
In my quest to make the quiz more interactive than plane slide share files, i hit upon this URL where you make interactive quizes. A similar app is there in facebook ( its a dirty app which has lots of Ads and you soon loose interest there.
This Site is a neat one, but has some of key drawbacks:
1.) Does not support picture ( facebook app does it but again its not neat)
2.) Does not support Video and Audio
3.) Does not support single questions.
If any one come across such a site which has all these, please mail me subhankar@gmail.com
Here comes a small quiz on this site.

Tribute to Mr. Cricket
Today Pakistan had their worst nightmare come true as Mike Hussey (AKA Mr. Cricket) rescued Australia from a dire situation and won them the semi final single handedly. The game was well placed for Pakistan. First half of Austailian batting order had been sent back to their dug outs. Their last recognized pair of White and Hussey struggling to cope with a ever rising run rate things seemed very comfortable for Pakistan. By the worst of their imagination pakistani's would have never imagined that they would not be going to their third consecutive finals from this position. The wickets kept on tubling with Australia having to do a daunting task of chasing 53 runs from last 24 balls. But Hussey kept on the fight, puffing and running the 2's when the sixes/ fours were not coming. They managed to somehow maintain the asking run rate around 18- 20 runs mark. But they kept trying. Last over, it was 18 run required. Only 1 run was scored from the first ball and the game was almost over. 5 balls, 17 runs. Pakistan fans started their celebration. The pakistani player even were getting prepared to do the victory lap. But in cricket, there is a cliche - Game is not over till the last bowl is bowled. Then Pakistani players were struck by Hussey exploits. And before they could recover, the game was over. The next 4 balls produced 22 runs. Australia had won the match with 1 ball to spare. Hussey final score was a splendid 22 ball 60.
Now some stats about Mikes Hussey:
1.) He played for the Chennai Super Kings in IPL
2.) Might have attended the parties.
3.) Played the warm up before T20 world cup.
4.) Saved australia when they went to problems against Sri Lanka
5.) Took Australia to their first ever T20 finals
Its the passion you bring to the game and not the reasons...Elementary Mr. dhoni.

Curious Case of short Pitched Balls
I just pulled out the definition of short pitch ball - The ball pitched outside the good length and rises above waisted height. By pitching outside the good length, it prohibits the batsman to come forward and the only way to tackle it is by staying at your place or going back foot. There are couple of shots which are be played - a offside slash or a defensive stroke or a lawn tennis slog to the mid wicket region and the hook and the pull. I am sure there are many more shots which can be innovated.
So in other words, we have ways and methods to tackle the short pitch deliveries.
And with the new rules that a bowler can bowl only one bowl above the shoulder height, it is a risky proposition to attempt for more than 1 short ball in a T 20 or One day format. So at a maximum we can get 20 short balls per inning in a T 20 match. I am assuming that 1 bowler bowls one per over and he is a seamer. One a average, each team has 4 seamer who bowl 16 overs. So we will have 16 short pitch balls. It accounts to 16/120 (~13% of the bowls) which are pitched in a short length.
But in India's match against Australia and west Indies, we lost our early wickets ( around 50% of the wickets) to well directed bowls. Just wondering if we had not attempted any shot for these balls !!!! If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
And also a note to Selector, like we have a specialist for slog over, let us have a specialist for these balls as well. May be states which have Mohali and Chinnaswamy as their ground can definitely produce cricketers who can be well equipped to handle this problem.
But for me the current problem could be avoided ( In case we defeat Sri lanka Comprehensively and WI are royally defeated and by the stroke of Luck which has been perennially benevolent to MS Dhoni ,qualify for Semi's) by just avoiding the short ball.

IPL Season 3
The final curtains have been drawn for the IPL season 3 .Modi has also lisped a "brave heart" speech with trembling hands moments before he was ousted as the IPL Commission"err". The stable teams members will be again put under auctions this year.
Next year we will see a different demography to all the teams adding to the extra 2 teams. Pune franchise has gone ahead in naming it league as warriors (Sahara Pune Warriors). Kochi probably will stay. We will have to wait and watch. Meanwhile as we analyse the performances of the all the sides , we will see a method emerging out of madness in the way T20 is played nowadays. Some of the marked changes from IPL 1 to IPL 3 were.
1.) Spinners: There is a growing dependence of spinner. Spinner have evolved to be force to reckon with. This season, 4 out of top 5 wicket takers were spinner. Kumble boasted of the best economy rate for majority of tournament. R Ashwin was the regular opening bowler. And Prgyan Ojha ended with the purple cap.
2.) Return of classic cricketing shots: the flat bat shots existed but classic cricketing shots counted for majority of runs scored in this IPL. The people scoring them were regular test cricketers, Sachin, Kallis, Saurav, Dravid, KP , Murali Vijay.
3.) Brute force is good in short term: There was a tactical use of brute force instead of using it through out the match. MI tried to over do this by sending KP (Pollard) late which resulted in their loss. But this had worked for them for majority of the tournament. Yousuf has been thoroughly read by all teams and he is prey to short ball. He could not score in the second half of the season.
4.) Innovation: The shot making has evolved. Now we have new shots like the Dilshan Scoop and KP's Switch hit which is also added new variety to the armory of the batsman. In bowling, we have the Dilhara's slow bouncers, Ashwin's carron ball etc. And in equipments, we have the Haydos mighty mongoose bat which showed its prowess in their league match against Delhi.
The next season will see a new set of players for each team. It will decide the allegiance for the floater public like me whose cities do not have IPL team. Last 3 years had my affinity towards RCB as most of my Idols like Dravid, Kallis were playing for it.
Wishing for a grand IPL 4 !!!! As Gilchrist, Tendulkars, Dravid have comfirmed to be Back.......Till then rooting for RCB for CLT20 at South Africe.
