Team news

Pakistan will  play 3  fast bowlers – Shoaib, Umar Gul and Sohail Tanvir – with Saeed Ajmal, Shahid Afridi and Shoaib Malik offering spin support. Nasir Jamshed should be back at the top of the order after missing the last couple of series.

Pitch and conditions

Dubai Sports City Stadium pitch will probably be same with those in Lahore or Karachi. The heat will be quite acute, and the dry conditions should offer plenty of encouragement for the spinners.

Australia (probable) 1 Shaun Marsh, 2 Shane Watson, 3 Brad Haddin (wk), 4 Michael Clarke (capt), 5 Andrew Symonds, 6 David Hussey, 7 Callum Ferguson, 8 Nathan Hauritz, 9 Stuart Clark, 10 Nathan Bracken, 11 Ben Laughlin.

Quotes

"Personally, I’m delighted to be back in Aussie colours – I’ve had a few decent tussles with Pakistan over the years, my debut in Pakistan for starters, and the 2003 World Cup, and I’ve no doubt this will be a tough series against them. The challenge is there for all of us to roll up our sleeves and get into it." Andrew Symonds is glad to be back in the ODI squad

"We’ve been given a fantastic opportunity to perform and put your hand up while guys are out resting or injured. It gives somebody else an opportunity to push for the 2011 World Cup."
Michael Clarke puts a positive spin to the fact that so many top players are missing from the Australian squad

"There is no alternative to playing at home but unfortunately we have to play in Emirates but the conditions here are similar to Pakistan and we feel it is like a home away from home. I hope Pakistani people who live here will come to encourage us." Younis Khan tries to make the best of a difficult situation

"I am pleased at Shoaib’s discipline both on and off the field. He has shown promise and he is bowling with commitment, and I have lots of hope that he would deliver for us, which, I tell you, is very important."  Intikhab Alam, the Pakistan coach, has high expectations from Shoaib Akhta

Hong Kong Recording Industry Acts Against Music Pirates

Posted: 22 Sep 2010 06:46 AM PDT


Is this yet more evidence that China doesn’t like things getting stolen from them?

The Hong Kong recording industry is threatening to sue 37 more people who have allegedly uploaded copyrighted music to the Net.

A worldwide campaign was launched in 17 countries yesterday (10/17). 8,000 law suits were filed with 37 in Hong Kong.copyrighted musi.jpg

Hong Kong’s International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, Ltd threatened law suits if the offenders did not pay HK$33,000 (US$4,240) within two weeks.

Fifteen people in Hong Kong and 2,300 people globally have paid the fine.

Stealing, pilfering, copyrighted material is wrong…not only in the music industry.

Perhaps China is starting to catch on.

What do you think?

Supreme Court Of India Refuses Deferment In Ayodhya Verdict That Is Scheduled On September 24

Posted: 22 Sep 2010 04:49 AM PDT


The plea regarding the postponement of the 'Ayodhya Verdict' has been rejected by the Supreme Court of India. Justice Altmas Kabir and Justice A K Patnaik who form the bench of the Supreme Court have refused for the deferment of the historical verdict.

The Ayodhya Verdict will be given by the Allahabad High Court on September 24, 2010. The court rejected the plea on the basis that the case was civil and hence cannot be deferred more.

Meanwhile all the states are taking appropriate measures to protect against any kind of problems that may take place as a result of the verdict. Union Health Minister and AICC General Secretary of Karnataka Ghulam Nabi Azad said, “Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has taken the initiative and appealed to the entire nation to maintain peace, tranquility and communal harmony in the wake of the September 24 verdict of Allahabad High Court in the Ramjanmabhoomi-Babri Masjid. In line with this I appeal to the people to maintain peace and communal harmony on that day."

‘Artificial Sun’ Reactor Completed

Posted: 22 Sep 2010 02:44 AM PDT


China has completed construction of its Star Maker – The Experimental Advanced Super conducting Tokamak (EAST) fusion reactor.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences has received state ratification, use of funds, operational management and data authenticity.

The group successfully generated an electrical current of 250 kilo amperes in five seconds. I think our sun is a bit stronger..but..

"The Institute of Plasma Physics spent eight years and 200 million yuan (25 million U.S. dollars) building the experimental reactor."

The United States, the European Union, the Republic of Korea, Russia, Japan and India are cooperating with about 2,000 Chinese researchers engaged in studying thermonuclear fusion.

Do you think it is possible to create and 'artificial sun?'

It seems kind of 'out there' to me.

Lalbaugcha Raja Visarjan 2010 – Anant Chaturdashi Celebrated Today

Posted: 22 Sep 2010 02:24 AM PDT


Today, September 22 is observed as the 'Anant Chaturdashi', the last day of Ganesh festival. Usually, the festival is celebrated for 10 days, but this year, the celebrations lasted for 12 days.

On this day, the idol of Lord Ganesha is immersed in water with everyone shouting out loudly, 'Ganpati Bappa Moraya, Pudhchya Varshi Laukar Ya'. The festival was initiated in the state of Maharashtra, India by the great freedom fighter, Lokmanya Tilak.

Lalbaughcha Raja, the oldest and the most popular 'Ganesha' of Mumbai, Maharashtra would also experience the 'Visarjan' (immersion) today. Sometimes due to heavy rush near the lakes and rivers, people perform the visarjan pooja on the next day.

Many people celebrate this festival for one and a half day, some for five days. Though, the day is of departure, but still people are very enthusiastic, they beat drums and also dance while in procession.

Valentine’s Day Dinner: $50,000 a plate in Shanghai

Posted: 21 Sep 2010 10:43 PM PDT


And I thought the millionaires gathered in Bangkok paying $25K to be wined and dined was a lot.

The Shangri-La Hotel in Pudong is promoting a Valentine's Day Dinner for 388,000 yuan…that's $50K…and if you take a date…make it $100,000!

In addition to dinner, the Shangri-La will provide:

1. evening dinner dresses designed by Vera-Wang

2. Diamonds, necklaces and pendants from South Africashangri-la.hotel.jpg

3. a pen made by Caran d"ache

4. Cartier watches

5. Chauffeur drivern Rolls-Royce limousine

6. and a partridge in a pear tree.

But, what's on the menu – turtle testicles, frog ovaries, lizard eyes?

Shanghai likes Valentine's Day…

Somebody will have to like somebody else a whole whole lot to be willing to pork out (golden pig style) $100K for one evening.

What do you think?
