Whats with these Bangladeshis in West-Indies

First they upset India in 2007 WC, and now they beat West Indies in their home turf, both in the test matches and the one dayers as well.

Looks like the B'deshis save their best for the Carribeans. They are definitely not the underdogs, but often manage to lose matches after coming a long way. But not this time. With the test series win, their first overseas test win, and a one-day series win after that, they are high on confidence and looking to maul any side they come across.

And OZ struggle again, this time without a Freddie Onslaught

Its day 2 at Birmingham and its the 3rd Ashes test with England leading 1-0.
And OZ have disappointed again. 250/9 does not look a good score for a team with a formidable lineup. Batsmen have failed again, to negotiate the swinging ball.
This time its Jimmy Anderson who took 5 wickets, supported by Onions who took 3. Flintoff just bowled 12 overs in 65 which OZ have managed to survive till now with no scalps.
Its time OZ come to terms to English conditions. There will be no time to recover if they lose this game.

After Vass its Murali

Vass has announced his retirement. And now Murali has announced that he will retire in 2010.

The 'Freddy' factor

This is the last tour of Freddy Flintoff and he will try his best to secure England an Ashes win. England did what they could not in last 75 years, a win in the Lords in Ashes. They are now 1-0 up with 3 more to go. And with Pontings men not in top form, an English win is highly likely.
But Australians cant be taken lightly. More so because of the over dependence on Flintoff. The right arm fast bowler has his own limitations, especially against right handers. And if Ponting and Clarke can steer the ship , and Hussey giving support at the right time, with a much needed support from the bowling department, OZs can come back.
Lets hope to see some exciting matches.

Samsung Jet - Amidst cricket and chaos came my new mobile

I got hold of this amazing phone just 2 days back, and haven't been able to leave it for a while since then. Having been waited for it for so long, I just love it.

Its loaded with lot of features, and the style and build quality is also superb. Well done Samsung !

I bought it for 21K in Bangalore, and it is worth every penny. I love the bright AMOLED display, the superb camera, and connectivity options. I love browsing the internet over my home wifi connection. Yet to try the GPRS.

It has a 800Mhz processor it and shows up in its good responsiveness. Its a good competition for LG KP Arena. And is defintely a candidate for iPhone Killer.

As this is recently launched, its price is a bit high. and will defintely come down by a few Ks in a few months or so.
