Excellent Umpiring by Aleem Dar in Ashes IV Test

I have witnessed one of the best Umpiring calls on 2 nd of Ashes IV test happening in MCG. Johnson bowled a ball which just kissed Prior's Bat and catch was completed by Haddin and Umpire Aleem Dar gave out. But he had slight doubt on legality of ball, so asked Prior to stop and got confirmation from third umpire that ball is No Ball. It requires special skill to do such top class things.

Why Employees Leave Organizations

It seems people leave organizations for better pay or profile, but bigger effect could be Managers or in other words, work environment created by them. Its very strange that people look for better package once they make their mind to move on instead of looking for better place to work. Pay can be compared much easier than work place etc.

Master Blaster - Maginificient Once Again

Time and again, sachin produced a beauty. His work ethics are so good that he never bored to do same thing again and again and his grit and commitment are the best. Agreed, its a flat batting pitch, but to score heavily, one needs to have lot of patience and most importantly hunger for success and live in present. It does not matter how many centuries he scored before, again he has to start at zero and score 100 runs. The only advantage he has is mindset that he did it many times. Still that mind set may bring complacence. Thats why Having good work ethics is more important than achieving results. I have not seen any unsuccessful person so far who has wonderful approach to do any work.

Kudos to Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. I wish he will play many wonderful knocks to keep cricket fans like me happy. Its very amusing to watch his game once he reaches his sublime touch or I say nonchalance state

Does Sehwag Deserve Place in Team India

I wonder whether player like Sehwag deserve a place in any Team Game. Agreed, he is only third batsman in cricket history who scored two triple centuries, but for him, team comes next to him which is against philosophy of any team game. If player's priorities override Team's preferences, he does no good for team and spreads wrong message to others also. For me, It does not matter how quickly he gets his runs, what matters is the value he gives to his wicket and how curbs his instincts for the sake of team. I like/love when he scores 200 or 300 in a day, but I can never admire him.

Love passes, but admiration endures....

Team India Upsets Billion Fans

Yet again, Cricket fans are disappointed by India's performance on field in another ICC Tournament. When you see a team, it consists of so many talented, technically sound and can hit the ball a long way players. But on field, they failed to perform and bowlers did not deliver either. As ardent fan of Indian Cricket, I can just hope, things will become better and guys gain more experience and improve their temperament to play on merit of the ball by the time World Cup 2011 starts. Hope that Sachin and Sehwag will be fit for the tourney and Make a Difference.
