Sehwag lost century due to Umpire and India moves to 2nd in ICC ranking

India defeated England by six wickets in the fifth one-day international on Wednesday to take a 5-0 lead in the seven-game series.
India now leading the series 5-0 and wish it leads to 7-0 clean sweep.
Today Sachin completes his 90th fifty and blistering Virendra sehwag given LBW at score of 91 by ediot umpire Amish Saheba, on a delivrey going outside the legstump. Why umpire give the decision in so hurry ?

Indian politicians are not secular--- they are pseudosecular

What is Secular & What is Communal ?Congress says : Muslims getting killed by a few hundred is no less than a holocaust; But poor protesters getting shot in West Bengal under Left Govt is just a plain misunderstanding; 3,000 Sikhs getting slaughtered in thousands was only a big mistake; and 300,000 Hindus becoming refugees and thousands dead due to Islamic terrorists in Kashmir is a only political problem. Congress says : Congress denying Lord Rama's existence was simply a Clerical Error. But BJP saying it hurt Hindu sentiments is communal!Congress says : Haj subsidies for Muslim pilgrimage worth 3000 crores funded by Hindu tax money is secular; But Hindus questioning how their hard earned money is used are communal;Congress says : Banning Da Vinci Code was Secular But Modi Banning Parzania in Gujarat was Communal;Congress says : Chinese invasion in 1962 was just an 'unfortunate betrayal'; Kargil attack during BJP Rule was Government failure;Congress says : Reservation in every school and college on caste lines strengthen society; But same reservations in minority institutions is Communal;Congress says : Fake encounters under Cong-NCP in Maharashtra was only an instance of Police atrocity; But Fake encounters in Gujarat [Sohrabuddin] was Modi sponsored 'BJP' Communalism;Congress says : Talking about Islam and Muslim appeasement is Secular; But talking about Hindus and Hindu concerns is dangerous and Communal; Congress says : BJP freeing 3 terrorists to save Indian hostages was Shameful; But freeing 4 militants to save the life of the daughter of a minister [Rubina Sayed] was a Natural Political dilemma;Congress says : Attack on Parliament was the result of BJP ineptitude; But Congress Not hanging Afzal Guru,the mastermind despite Supreme Court orders is due to Humanity and Political dilemma;Congress says : (Manmohan) Muslims have the first right on India's resources; But Hindus questioning it is communal;
क्या आप धर्मनिरपेक्ष हैं ? जरा फ़िर सोचिये और स्वयं के लिये इन प्रश्नों के उत्तर खोजिये.....
१. विश्व में लगभग ५२ मुस्लिम देश हैं, एक मुस्लिम देश का नाम बताईये जो हज के लिये "सब्सिडी" देता हो ?
२. एक मुस्लिम देश बताईये जहाँ हिन्दुओं के लिये विशेष कानून हैं, जैसे कि भारत में मुसलमानों के लिये हैं ?
३. किसी एक देश का नाम बताईये, जहाँ ८५% बहुसंख्यकों को "याचना" करनी पडती है, १५% अल्पसंख्यकों को संतुष्ट करने के लिये ?
४. एक मुस्लिम देश का नाम बताईये, जहाँ का राष्ट्रपति या प्रधानमन्त्री गैर-मुस्लिम हो ?
५. किसी "मुल्ला" या "मौलवी" का नाम बताईये, जिसने आतंकवादियों के खिलाफ़ फ़तवा जारी किया हो ?
६. महाराष्ट्र, बिहार, केरल जैसे हिन्दू बहुल राज्यों में मुस्लिम मुख्यमन्त्री हो चुके हैं, क्या आप कल्पना कर सकते हैं कि मुस्लिम बहुल राज्य "कश्मीर" में कोई हिन्दू मुख्यमन्त्री हो सकता है ?
७. १९४७ में आजादी के दौरान पाकिस्तान में हिन्दू जनसंख्या 24% थी, अब वह घटकर 1% रह गई है, उसी समय तत्कालीन पूर्वी पाकिस्तान (अब आज का अहसानफ़रामोश बांग्लादेश) में हिन्दू जनसंख्या 30% थी जो अब 7% से भी कम हो गई है । क्या हुआ गुमशुदा हिन्दुओं का ? क्या वहाँ (और यहाँ भी) हिन्दुओं के कोई मानवाधिकार हैं ?
८. जबकि इस दौरान भारत में मुस्लिम जनसंख्या 10.4% से बढकर 14.2% हो गई है, क्या वाकई हिन्दू कट्टरवादी हैं ?
९. यदि हिन्दू असहिष्णु हैं तो कैसे हमारे यहाँ मुस्लिम सडकों पर नमाज पढते रहते हैं, लाऊडस्पीकर पर दिन भर चिल्लाते रहते हैं कि "अल्लाह के सिवाय और कोई शक्ति नहीं है" ?

Rahul Dravid needs support

After a great farewell to ganguly, there is lot of talks about Rahul considering his current low phase.
Rahul is legendary player and he is going through a bad phase he needs some strong backing.
I am sure Dravid will bounce back soon and will fire on full throttle.
MS Dhoni has finally spoke out something about Rahul.Currently, when everyone is worried about Rahul's form, captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni believes he's too big a player to worry about. "All players go through a phase," Dhoni said. "But Dravid is a great player and has proved himself time and again for us. So we are not worried about his form."
Although in Mohali that was not the case. After a bright innings of 39 in the first essay, Dhoni, the stand-in captain, decided to bring himself up the order with quick runs being the need of the hour. The situation wasn't all that different here, but India chose to stick with the same batting order in the second innings. Rahul could not get double figure on his name again.
Dhoni said the good start India got in the second innings didn't call for a gamble to follow.
"We got off to a good start and decided to send Dravid in," he said. "It's better to send someone in this situation who hasn't been in touch of late."
That is something which may bring a ray of hope in Rahul's career.These words hold an importance from Rahul's point of view because he can get himself out of the pressure of being dropped.We will have to wait till England series (1st test match on 11 Dec.).

Out-of-form Rahul Dravid on Sunday got support from unexpected quarters with Australia coach Tim Nielsen backing the former India captain to get out of the lean patch soon.
Nielsen said Dravid's poor form was compounded by the fact that he got out to good balls in the ongoing series against Australia."I think Rahul has had one of those series where he seems to have got quite a few good balls. Every time he has nicked the ball, it has gone straight to the keeper or slips and they have caught it. One jumped a bit in the first innings (in the Test here) and he gloved it straight to short leg," Nielsen said."He is just having a bit of a rut at the moment where it seems as though he is a low spot as far as scoring runs and not having a lot of luck. It's interesting. He has been training hard," Nielsen added.Dravid's poor run in the series in which he has aggregated just 120 runs from seven innings with a lone fifty in it has raised question marks about his continued presence in the team when the two-Test series against England commences next month at Ahmedabad."We often see him down the nets when we are there having a session by himself and working hard. I know the quality of player that he is, I am sure he will make a lot of runs in the future. It was just his turn to have a bit of a dry spot this series and he will come back hard," Nielsen elaborated.Nielsen pointed out that the other Indian batsmen have made up for Dravid's indifferent form. "But his team has made up for it by scoring a lot of runs around him," he added.
