Aziz Mirza’s new film, Katrina Kaif, Ranbir Kapoor and John Abraham and more

Although Aziz Mirza is know as a top class director and low budgeted film maker in bollywood but he did not make more film for the top second film industry. His last block-buster hit film Chalte Chalte was a very small budgeted film where Shahrukh Khan and Rani Mukherjee was in leading actors. His first bollywood film was Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani (Shahrukh Khan, Juhi Chawla, Shakti Kapoor) that cracked to the heart of the cinema viewers. May be he is going to give a new film for the hindi film industry. The unnamed new film is going to produced by Subhash Singh along with Prerna Virendra.

 

For this film, two male actors have been finalized but the sign up will be finalized soon. It is heard that the new comer Ranbir Kapoor and other well know face John Abraham has been declared the named from the producers. And they are finding other male actor who will act along-side her who is considered as a wild cat in bollywood Katrina Kaif and has presented a bunch of block-buster films in the last couple years.

 

The theme of the film will be; the thrice who will love Katrina Kaif as a mad. Anyway, it is now question who will be the 3rd person? Here, I want to add something about Garam Masala where John Abraham acted really fantastic on the other hand the romantic man Ranbir Kapoor is not less than others although he just has acted one film in blooywood.

FIFA Word Cup 2014 host country Brazil already has declared the name of five cities out of twelve. The cities are Brasilia, Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte and Porto Alegre. Others seven venues will be selected after visiting the FIFA officials will travel on January.

Brazil is the country of a group of football stars and more that five times prestigious FIFA World Cup winner (1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002). Only Brazil is the only teams in the world who won FIFA World Cup three times in a row.

May be, Brazil has followed the system of German 2006 and the upcoming Football World Cup 2010 in South Africa. That time host German arranged tournaments in different 12 cities and the forthcoming host South Africa will supposed to be organized the tournaments in 10 cities.

According to my view, this is a respected decision and the people of different cities could enjoy the matches. One more important concept is; Brazil is really a great tourism country in the world. This plan will be opened the door to visit the largest and beautiful forest country.

New Zealand vs West Indies T20: who will win?

The last three matches between New Zealand and West Indies did not show any conclusions. There were one T20 and two tests. It is really interesting when any match dismissed without result. For Test match is it a common sight but for One Day International Cricket and the new formatted games T20 it dispersed the cricket fans.

It happened in the recent T20 match between New Zealand vs West Indies that was played at Eden Park, Auckland, on 26 December 2008. After drawn in the two tests, the eyes were fixed to the T20 match to get a result but the audiences were hopeless at the end of the first T20 match. May be it is the second incident after the inaugural World Cup T20 that was inaugurated in South Africa. The final match between India and Pakistan become drawn but dismissed by bowl-out of the T20 World Cup 2007.

Almost all the batsmen of the host New Zealand did not play well but LRPL Taylor and SB Styris scored an honorable score in the first T20 at Eden Park, Auckland. Taylor scored 63 by dominating 50 balls and by spending 70 minutes in crease. On the other hands Styris is the second highest scorer by securing 21 runs from 12 balls. The host scored 155 runs by losing 7wickets.

Although the bowers of the opposition West Indies did not do well except CH Gayle who took 2 wickets by bowing 3 overs but the all the bowers kept stop the opposite batsmen to add a big runs on the scoreboard.

This is not end here. Form New Zealand side similar scene replayed. The skeeper and all-rounder DL Vettori took 3 wickets and JS Patel took 2 wickets.

By loosing 8 wickets the Caribbean had to stop the innings in 155 and remain satisfy becoming drawn.

It is a terrible series for both the teams for achieving nothing. So, the duo will try hart and soul to win the 2nd T20 matches that is going to held at Seddon Park, Hamilton.

Hyundai lunched a mini car for the Indian customers last year name Hyundai i10 and it attended the customers more. Besides it, it offered Hyundai Getz too. But, the i20 would come at India on 2009 but not this time. The market price will be 5-6 lakh in India currency and in European countries it will be £8,645.

Main Features of i20 include:

  • Climate control

  • Multi-function steering wheel
  • Tyre pressure monitoring system
  • Height-adjustable driver seat
  • Keyless entry
  • Electrically operated windows and side mirrors
  • ABS with EBD
  • Airbags 

Hyundai i20, according to the European test, the five doors cars is expected to arrive at the beginning of 2009. I will save fuel for the drivers and can run long way in a small amount of fuel. With a 1.4-litre diesel, that produces 89bhp and 162lb ft, and a six-speed ‘box over the standard five-speed unit, the i20 i-Blue will do 68mpg and only emit 99g/km.

India vs England 2nd test 2008: watch live Rahul Dravid’s steady batting

Rahul Dravid is looking like an impregnable wall in the PCA Stadium. In an article I wrote that Red signal for Rahul Dravid: will he step down from Cricket? In the first day, during the second test he has proved that he has still in form and can protect any miserable moment. Although, there was no more unexpected incident in the first day of the 2nd test that is taking place in at Mohali, Panjab. Now, it is a question to all that if Rahul Dravid proposes to the BCCI stepping down from the international cricket what they will decide? 
After the first test, bad performances of him, in all media it published that what is coming in Dravid fate? Most of the news media published that he would have been changed batting order and could come to number five. But, breaking all rumors he comes to creases just after the earlier wicket of Virendar Sehwag. 
I have quote these lines from Sky Sports
"It is a cycle. Sometimes you are at your peak and at other times you are down. It happens to all players at some point. Even I have had my ups and downs."

35 years old Rahul Dravid already has informed to the chairman of selectors about his poor runs for the last 11 tests. So, it has already has created a question about his good runs. Anyway, we all have to wait what the decision comes after the test.

Arsenal vs Liverpool 08-09: will Arsenal overcome their lacking

The match between Arsenal vs Liverpool will be huge competition because Arsenal will try to get back in the line up victory. Last week Arsenal secured a prestigious victory alongside Manchester United. The top ranked club Arsenal is passing very bad time and being pendulant to kick out for the premier league this season 08-09. Despite of being hopeless they are inspiring from the last victory against the top 3rd second holder Manchester United, second highest point holder Chelsea and dreaming to take lead in the upcoming match against the top ranked Liverpool in the ongoing season of English Premier League. Beside this, I think they are remembering the miserable moment of very bad surrendered to the Fulham and Hull City.

 

The time is coming for Arsenal is very challenge to survive in this season. At this moment it is difficult to say that what how the result would come and who will be the title holder for this season. Arsenal is leading the 5th position of the standings board by acquiring 30 points that is 7 points less that the top rank holders Liverpool. I think the management should find out the lacking of the team. May be, Arsenal will engaged some new players earlier of January in the season 09.

India vs England 2nd test 2008: live score, timing and analysis

India is getting inspiration from every area. As example I am using some points; awesome five victories in a row in the ODI, the first Test victory and the positive cricket during the Australia tour of India and finally the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium favorable pitch always support of Indian. I keen to describe all the points in detailed. Before those, I want inform you about he timing of the 2nd test match location, play ground and live telecast medias.

 

Match Timing: 09:30 Local time (IST) and GMT 04:00; on Friday, December 19, 2008.

Match Location: Mohali, Panjab

Play Ground: Punjab Cricket Association Stadium

Live Telecast Medias: NEO Cricket for Indian fans and Sky Sport for England fans.

 

Indians are inspiring after taking a hand in the first test victory. Winning toss, batting fist, scouring 316 runs, by bowling England stopped Indian batsmen in 241runs even batting in the second innings was amazing. Although, 316 in the first inning is of not good achievement but it become wealth when Indian batsmen failed to dominate England’s bowlers and lost 6 wicket just spending half of day playing 45 overs. India sacked their first innings just playing 24 more overs. Earlier downfall of the wickets of Indian squads, English men were dreaming to take the lead by winning the first test and batted well in the second innings and took a huge runs lead and threw a challenge to the Indian squads. 

The Indians accepted the challenge with am iron hands and tried to over the failure of the first innings. Indian positive and passionate batting demolished all the challenges and acquired the victory by over taking 387 runs. Really, this was a big challenge for Indians. May be it is the most runs for Indians have secured victory also a history in test cricket. 

Many positive sides for Indians and Sachin Tendulkar’s coming back in run. In the second inning of the first test Indian may forgot to loose the wickets which are their universal character for Indian batsmen. Here I want to inform the readers about a test match against Pakistan (most probably 1999-2000). India needed just 16 runs but and 6 wickets in hand. After securing century Sachin Tendulkar was trying to play his style (mastering shoot that he used to do after sacking his personal career) and gone to pavilion. Last 5 wickets did not gather even four runs including Nayan Mungia. But in this match it looked completely different even Sachin Tendulkar’s batting seemed that he just has started his career. It was really amazing.  

India : (probable) 1 Gautam Gambhir, 2 Virender Sehwag, 3 Rahul Dravid, 4 Sachin Tendulkar, 5 VVS Laxman, 6 Yuvraj Singh, 7 Mahendra Singh Dhoni (capt/wk), 8 Harbhajan Singh, 9 Zaheer Khan, 10 Ishant Sharma, 11 Amit Mishra. 

England: (possible) 1 Andrew Strauss, 2 Alastair Cook, 3 Owais Shah, 4 Kevin Pietersen (capt), Paul Collingwood, 6 Andrew Flintoff, 7 Matt Prior (wk), 8 Stuart Broad, 9 Graeme Swann, 10 Steve Harmison, 11 Monty Panesar 

May be there will not be any changed in Indian squad just will change in batting order because Rahul Dravid is out of performances. May he could bat as number 7 batsman. In England squad there could be a single change. Owais Shah may include in squad.

 

BBC Wrote:

Owais Shah is a very skilled player of spin and would be the obvious change but his last innings came more than three weeks ago in the Cuttack one-day international.

There is also an argument for promoting Matt Prior to number six. He batted very capably in both innings in Chennai while Andrew Flintoff is not a good starter against spin bowling.

I am confused about the reports; in some news it is telling that Mohali picth is very favorable for the pacers like Shoaib Akhter but both the squads are thinking about the spin blowers. Every during the Australia tour of India Indian off time spinner Amit Mishra showed a great performances. 

Live Telecast media: By the time being and the shortage of leisure time the people are going forget to watch the cricket match by sitting in Stadium. It is also impossible watching cricket match by journeying a long distance. That is why they enjoy cricket by watching live telecast on satellite TV or local tv. The people who are living in Asia and have an access to watch NEO Cricket and the People who are in European counties can watch the match live in Sky Sports. 

The digital personalities could able to watch the match live score by accessing websites that are giving ball by ball text commentary, video steaming etc. Cricinfo is one of the most information full website that will provide you according to you expectation.

Bowlers and batsmen moved jointly to acquire the white-wash victory. But, in the in first test, it was totally different. Most of the batsmen crumbled doing nothing. 

The most dependent batsman Rahul Dravid is in the top position in this line-up. Although he was he was ahead just adding 7 runs in the two innings in the first test in Chennai. This promotion has been sent him back in the batting order. He was the batman who used to come to bat in second down but in the second the he will bat in the 7th position. 

What do you think about this change in the playing XI? I think this is red signal for him to step down from the international cricket. By analyzing his previous 11 tests, it will not satisfy any of the fans who loves cricket more. May be his average is just 22-plus. After Sourav Ganguly, this is the time of Rahul Dravid retires from the international cricket.

India vs England 1st ODI: Who will win at last?

The 5th day of the first test between India and England is going to ground after within a few hours. Now, it is the burning question to all fans of both teams who re living both the countries India an England even all over the world. 

Batting: The batting started really well. The openers dominated Indian bowlers highly. The openers stable and balanced batting worried Indian blowers and added a milestone of century and a half century. AJ Strauss and AN Cook added 118 runs from 39.6 overs. AN Cook secured 52 runs and AJ Strauss added 123 runs by hitting 15 fours and without driving any sixes. The English wicket keeper MJ Prior also shared his 53 runs to build a stable score in the fist innings. The top-middle order batsmen completely failed of constructed any foundation.

In the second innings, similarity repled again in England tent. Just two batsmen AJ Strauss and PD Collingwood secured centuries and MJ Prior added 33 runs. 

I think all the fans who were watching the match live both area sitting on the gallery and with a TV or Online was annoyed much to watch the quick-downfall of the batting side. In the half-day they lost their most valuable 6 wicket just playing 45 overs in the second day. Only the new captain MS Dhoni, Harbhajan Singh and Sachin Tendulkar scored well. But in the second inning Indian batsmen are showing passions to overcome the faults of the first innings. 

Bowling: the bowlers of both teams did really great. I think the fans were enjoying the bowlers’ movements. We can see clearly that the spinners got huge success in that pitch. 

So, as a supporter of India, I will hope that India could do well and could take the series lead. But I am confused about the pitch of the fifth day and the batting of the first innings that can not assure me to take the lead. Anyway, the result of the fist test of India and England just times matter.

Today is 13 December 2008 and a few hours later the large and anticipated football of Europe especially in Spain the battle between the rival Barcelona and Real Madrid. I do not think that the battle will be limited in the Europe only but it will fell a great effect over the world. 

Real Madrid's Gonzalo Higuaín and Barcelona's Xavi coincided in the presentation of Adidas' new football shoes. Both men shared their views on the upcoming El Clásico at Camp Nou. It is clear from their opinion that both teams have some lack and shortage o strength but determine to take the lead every the prestigious title at the end of the league. 

There are many changes in the both team but the massive change is visible in Real Madrid camp. The former coach Bernd Schuster’s comment on Camp Nou’s match that is going to kick off on 13 December 2008 have been fired the last weekend and Roma the replaced coach is looking positively about the match. Another change in Real Madrid is Moot Lassana to Replace Mahamadou. I am highlighting about him because Moot Lassana was kept in punishment for the whole seasons.

India vs England 1st Test 2008: India in on pressure in the second day

India and England are at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk, Chennai. Both the teams are dominating each-other by bat and ball. At he end of the second day India is in pressure of English bowlers. India already has lost its 5 valuable wickets (top five wickets) by scoring 101 runs. Englands new off spin bowler GP Swann sacked 2 wickets.

 

In spite of England’s middle order’s batmen failure they scored 316 runs after one and half day. The opener batsman AJ Strauss acquired 123 runs and with the half-centuries of other two batsmen (AN Cook and MJ Prior) threw the team in a strong position.

 

Here is nothing to analyze the India batting side. The top order batsmen have failed totally to protect English bowlers and as result they are paying for their mistake. G Gambhir, V Sehwag and R Dravid has totally destroyed the dream of the match which the bowlers raised by preventing the English men in 316 runs in the second mid day of the first innings.

 

Now, Indian batsmen should drive the bat carefully at the end of the day even in the morning session, otherwise they will suffer a lot. The two batsmen (Yuvraj Singh and MS Dhoni) who are batting now are not considered as the test batsmen. The second and the first innings of the 1st test will come to end within a few over bowling. At this moment the score of the day is:
