| Asian Games 2010: China’s Good Gestures For Indian Team Had Their Own Selfishness Behind That Posted: 29 Nov 2010 10:30 PM PST 
The feat achieved by China in recently concluded Asian Games held in Guangzhou, China, very clearly display their supremacy in sports in Asian Region. Right from day one till the last day of the Games they stayed on the top of medals tally throughout 15 days and still their hunger and urge for more was never seen lowering. Even on the last day's event of women's marathon they won gold and silver both. In the sixteenth Asian Games of 2010 China had included two local sports popularly known as Weiqi and Xianqqi in China. But on the other hand, an inclusion of Indian equestrian team was refused by Games officials in China so as to pass on the favour to Chinese riders On contrary to above, the same Chinese officials did favour apparently quite a weak water polo women team from India by sponsoring them to compete in quadrennial event. China's Waterpolo Assiciation by all means assured Indian women's water polo team's arrival in Guangzhou well before time so that they could prepare themselves well for the event. The whole process of the team's visa approval and all documentation was done well in time and on top of that sponsored 15 member team's travel cost of over 6 lac Indian rupees (approx 13,500 USD). Even the local transportation and accommodation was sponsored by Chinese Management officials. The reason for all this help came into limelight later when it became clear that in absence of Indian team there would have been chances of becoming this sport as a non medal sport in lack of appropriate participation by other countries and that way China would have been left away with one gold medal less than their current total tally. |
| Ashes 2010: Australia Recalls Bollinger And Harris For 2nd Test Match in Adelaide Posted: 29 Nov 2010 12:12 PM PST 
Now the oldest rivals of the Cricket History in the shape of Australia Vs England are face to face In Australia for Ashes Test Series. This battle of two oldest rivals has started with a high scoring draw in Brisbane. In the first innings of the first test match England was horrible with bat. On the other hand Australian batsmen did good job and piled up the total of 481 runs and got the lead of 221 runs. Perhaps this was the chance that England players needed to prove their metal. Under the huge pressure of defeat England players bounced back and mopped away all the plans of Australian team by smashing whopping 517/1 runs in the second innings. For Australia all the bowlers proved very costly but more importantly no bowler including Mitchell Johnson and Hilffenhaus were not threatening English batsmen. This forced Australia to be satisfied with a draw. Now the battle has moved to Adelaide where the 2nd Ashes Test match between Australia VB England will take place in next couple of days. Now after being forced to be satisfied with unwanted draw Australian team management is not looking in any mood of sparing anyone. Mainly Mitchell Johnson and Hillfenhais are at the top of the hit-list of Australian team management. For the 2nd Ashes Test match Australian team has now recalled its best bowler of the years Doug Bollinger. At the same time Australian team has also included Harris who is expert at getting reverse swing. Bollinger has been lead bowler for Australia since his debut in international cricket. He always tests the batsmen under al sorts of conditions and gets wickets quickly too. Johnson has never been out of Australia's test team since his debut. According to Australian captain Mitchell did bowl with intensity and positivity in the test match but he could not fetch us wickets that are most important to get in order to win the test match. So we have made it sure that nobody is permanent in the team. Moreover, everybody will be the part of the team by the time he performs well for Australia. Now Australia has decided to be strict in terms of performance so lets see which way the wind blows now. |

Coach of Los Angeles Lakers Mr. Phil Jackson is highly desperate to see his center Andrew Bynum back on the floor. He is so desperate to see him playing on the floor because his team is feeling his absence. As a result of the absence of Andrew Bynum Los Angeles Lakers have lost two games on the trot. In this list the recent defeat against Indiana Pacers by 92-95 is also included. LA lost against Indiana Pacers on this Sunday at the Staples Center. This defeat of Los Angeles Lakers was shocking for everybody as Indiana Pacers have never beaten LA Staples Center since 1999. The impact of the absence of Andrew Bynum on LA can be judged from the stipulation of his coach that he made about his absence even before the match. This is not the only one dilemma that LA is going through these days. Rather players like Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom have to spend extra time on the floor. So far as Theo Ratiff is concerned to he is out of action owing to a knee Injury. On the other side Derrick Cracter is not ready to spend some extra time on the floor. According to Phil Jackson we have to rely too much upon Lamar and Pau. But we are under compulsion because we do not have any other replacement for Andrew Martin. Moreover we do not have any other option too and that is the biggest problem for us. But there is one even bigger problem then this, says Jackson. None of us know that when Andrew Maritn will be back. We all hope that he will come back by Thanksgiving. Bynum participated in his first full contact workout since his operation on July 28th 2010. According to Bynum he will be back in action within three weeks but that is too late for his coach Jackson. In this regard Jackson says that we are just waiting for him to come back with us at the moment. Once he will start practice with us then we will see whether is it a week or three weeks. Right now we are just waiting for everything to get right for us. once Andrew Martin will be back then we will see what happens on the court and what happens in terms of his fitness. The problem of the return of Andrew Martin has compounded even more because of the delay he caused in his surgery that was scheduled to take place on 18th of July. In addition to it he attended the World Cup too during the delay. In this regard Jackson told to DLN reporters he will be forgiven if he comes back and play with vigor and same intensity for his team. After the results of Saturday Jackson was looking inspired and he is hopeful about the come back of Andrew Martin within a week or two. |

| The Ashes: 2nd Test: Failed First Test Australian Bowlers Getting The Heat Posted: 29 Nov 2010 09:52 AM PST
Australia in turn made a little short of 500 runs taking a lead of 220 plus. It was England's second innings that stunned Australia and almost nullified the venom in Australian bowling. It appeared as if England were playing against some college team when they made 517 runs with only one wicket down. Both the openers andFor the next test to be played at Adelaide starting this Friday, the second of the five test Ashes series, by including Doug Bollinger and Ryan Harris in the 13 member team of Australia, Ponting has given a clear cut indication to the not to impressive Mitchell Johnson and Ben Hilfenhaus to introspect themselves. Even the debutant spin bowler for Australia Xavier Doherty who took two wickets in first innings could not product any results in the second innings. It is Johnson who is going to feel the heat most as he did not get any wicket in the first test at Brisbane and that has happened for the first time in his long career. If Johnson is dropped from the second test on these grounds, that also will be happening in his career life span for the first time. In fact question about Johnson's consistency in bowling was raised at the time of selection of 17 players for the first test when it was doubtful whether he will be picked or not. |

For Australia the most successful bowler in crashing English batting was Siddle who took 6 wickets for 54 runs. For England the most successful bowler in Australian first innings batting was Finn who took 6 wickets for 125 runs. England started their second innings in the last session of day three of the match with a backlog of 220 runs. Openers Strauss and Cook started in a perfect tone with a different set of mind. Probably the intention was to take the match to a drawn stage by passing through all difficult stages and change the resulting pattern of Gabba Stadium. Both the batsmen gave a solid first wicket partnership of 188 runs before Strauss got stumped out by Haddin at the bowling of North but only after completing his century thereby getting out at 110 made in 224 balls with the help of 15 boundaries. England were 309 at the end of day four with their solo wicket down. Trott and Cook started on day five at 54 and 132 respectively for England with nine wickets to go for the innings. First Ashes test has witnessed a record partnership for England for their second wicket that of 329 between Cook and Trot. England have not only driven this test to drawn but also have put a psychological pressure in Australia right in the beginning of the five test series. Cook has made his first double century that of 235 not out and Trott was at 135 not out when England declared their second innings at 517 runs with only one wicket down. England had overall lead of 296 runs for Australia to chase in their second innings but with only 40-odd overs left in the game. The bad thing for Australia in their second innings was fall of Simon Katich in the seventh over of game when his score was only 4 and innings total was 5. Good thing that happened was Ricky Ponting made a half century that probably would help him to regain his form depending on how he moves ahead from here. |
