Rahul Dravid turns 39 reviewed by bally chohan

January 11th, 2012

Bally chohan : Indian batting stalwart Rahul Dravid, who is also known as “The Wall” of the Indian cricket team, turned 39 on Wednesday.

Born in a Maharashtrian Deshastha family in Indore on the 11th of January 1973, Dravid started playing the game of cricket when he was only 12. He represented the state at the under-15, under-17 and under-19 level. Former cricketer Keki Tarapore spotted his cricketing talents when he scored a double-hundred for his school on debut. Rahul went on to make his Ranji Trophy debut in the year 1991 against Maharashtra in Pune.

It took just 5 more years for the talented young man to make his Test debut for the Indian team. Since then the flow of runs continues from his bat. On this day, he is only the second batsman to score over 13,000 runs in Tests and the third cricketer (after Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly) to be a part of the elite club of over 10,000 runs in ODIs.

Talking about Tests, Dravid has scored 36 tons, of which 32 times India have not lost the match. He is the only cricketer to have scored a ton in all ten Test playing nations. This proves what this man is capable of, and why is he called “The Wall”.

Moving away a bit from batting, Dravid also holds the record of taking the most number of catches in Test cricket. He is the only cricketer to have crossed the 200-mark in this regard.

Dravid also led the Indian Cricket Team from October 2005 to September 2007. Even though he has a mixed record as a captain, which includes the disappointing ouster of the team from the 2007 World Cup; but at the same time, he led the team to a series win in England after 21 years soon after.

Leaving aside the captaincy part, he has been no short of a great contributor for ODIs as well. He has over 10,000 runs, 12 centuries and 83 fifties. Added to the same, he was involved in two of the largest partnerships in ODIs: a 318-run partnership with Sourav Ganguly, the first pair to combine for a 300-run partnership, and then a 331-run partnership with Tendulkar, which is the present world record.

Bally chohan reviewed New Lexus Sports Coupe Crosses Digital Divide

January 10th, 2012

Bally chohan sad  Amid the dozens of vehicles debuted at the North American International Auto Show Detroit on Monday, many of the concept trial balloon cars boasted digital consoles worthy of this week’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

One prime example is Toyota Motor Corp.’s latest luxury design study, the Lexus LF-LC sports coupe. The car boasts curvy sheet metal that sheaths a rear-wheel drive, advanced hybrid power train under its dramatically sloped hood. Styling highlights include a lily-stem motif interior cockpit and tail lamps “inspired by the look of a jet afterburner at take-off,” according to the company’s press release.

But perhaps the most notable innovation is a pop-up touch-screen keyboard wedged between the front seats to adjust unnamed functions, presumably including audio and climate controls. Mark Templin, general manager of Lexus in the U.S., described the half-bolted down digital tablet as “kind of like having a tilt-up iPad” built into the center console.

That device is flanked by smaller, smartphone-sized flat touch panels on the inside of each door used to control the side mirrors, door and window operation and seat adjustments. The similarity of these arm rest panels to Apple Inc.’s iPhone screen is unmistakable–and the corporate hat tip is not something Toyota shied away from acknowledging.

“We’re moving more into the digital age and away from the mechanical, so it makes sense for us to try touch interfaces that look like a tablet or iPhone,” Kevin Hunter, president of Toyota’s Newport Beach, Calif.-based design center, said in an interview. “People are expecting this technology to be brought into cars.”

Not to be outdone by these accoutrements, the candy apple red show car also boasts twin 12.3-inch LCD panels inside showcasing core instrumentation such as the speedometer and navigational controls.

With all that high-tech, it wouldn’t be surprising to see such a car on display at CES or another electronics expo. And it begs the question: Will cars of the future be made by Toyota and Hyundai, or the likes of Apple and Samsung?

While Toyota officials stress the LF-LC is merely a conceptual exercise, they hint there’s ample room in the automaker’s line-up for a similarly styled $150,000 “poor man’s LFA,” a reference to the limited production Lexus super sports car that sells for $375,000. iPad not included.

Players review: by bally chohan

January 6th, 2012

bally chohan sad:Desi versions of Hollywood thrillers are like ‘first copy’ bootlegs from Thailand. They initially look approximately the same but later the threads begin to wriggle out. So when director duo, Abbas-Mustan took on ‘The Italian Job’, Benny Hill became Neil Nitin Mukesh, everyone double-crossed and obvious lines were exchanged with a grim face. Now, tough guys don’t snigger until they’ve outwitted someone or unless they’re delirious like Mogambo! But our bad boys are, firstly, not all boys and their badness is mostly restricted to the leather jackets rented from MJ’s ‘Bad’ music video. So looking grim is a ritual observed throughout the audience.

Most would vaguely know about the original gold heist comic caper so let’s go straight to the singular flourishes added here. Veteran robber, Victor Dada (Vinod Khanna) is teaching cops in prison about criminology. He has a long black coat slung over his prison uniform. If you think you’re dreaming, in the very next scene, his lawyer Charlie (Abhishek Bachchan) casually strolls into prison and concludes his lecture. I think prison is being confused for an old-age home with flexi-visiting hours. Later when Victor is to be operated for a terminal condition, the very same cops get dutifully sentimental and instruct the surgeon, “Doctor saab, please inhe bachaaiye… humein inse bohot kuch seekhna hain.” And that is the sum total worth of his life?

Anyway, Charlie is the man with the master plan for this international chori. He is loved by both the leading ladies, few of the leading men and some of the extras. While he casts a gang of singular talents, his own span across the spectrum, earning him maximum screen space and the privilege to pronounce ‘mourning’ as ‘morning’.

Among the members in Charlie’s crew, the most peculiar back story is that of the world famous illusionist, Roonie (Bobby Deol). He almost breaks down reflecting on it, saying, ‘Magic se sirf duniya barbaad hoti hain’. The flashback is of a freak accident during an elevation act involving his daughter that manages to trick no one. And now that his daughter is paralyzed, he wants to partner in this crime to build a house that operates on mere gestures (he actually says this!). He also does sufficient dialogue-baazi, circa 1980s, to prove his intent and ability with cheese burgers like, “Bada player banna hain toh bada risk lena hi padta hain.”

Trying to infiltrate and deceive the Russian army and slip out with cartons full of gold bars can require meticulous planning and military precision. But in an Abbas-Mustan movie, it’s a far less complicated affair. Full-time automobile expert, part-time item girl, Riya (Bipasha Basu) shakes her hips for the concerned chief military personnel and before he knows it, he’s out of his pants and on the floor being photographed from every angle like a Chinese manufacturer looking for a prototype to create bootlegs.

The film also has curious elements that may never find scientific explanations. Like when Charlie pushes the carriage vault, it pulls open instead! And why does explosives expert, Bilal (Sikander Kher) convey his supposed deafness with expressions like a werewolf on a full moon night? Or how does Victor’s techie daughter, Naina (Sonam Kapoor) suddenly master kickboxing and seductive hip flexing (which by the way is as asexual as a tomato seducing a potato in a salsa salad).

Adapting from a book and adapting from another film have one constant: both are subjected to comparison. That aside, the larger argument here is whether adapting from a film is ethical or not. Some directors respond to this reflexively, saying that it only helps narrate a good story to a larger audience or that it is a fond tribute. But a remake of ‘The Italian Job’ which makes the defining chase sequence look like a rickshaw chugging over monsoon-corroded roads refutes both these rationales. Definitely a job taken not so seriously.

Cast: Bobby Deol, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Abhishek Bachchan, Bipasha Basu, Sonam Kapoor, Omi Vaidya, Sikander Kher, Vinod Khanna, Johnny Lever

Directed by Abbas-Mustan

Rating: Game Over

Bally chohan reviewed: I Sutherland feels some awful decisions against India could be helpful in convincing BCCI for DRS – Cricket News

January 5th, 2012

Irked by BCCI and its players’ continuous opposition of the Decision Review System (DRS), Cricket Australia’s Chief Executive, James Sutherland, has said that “some awful decisions” against India are needed to convince them for using the review system in their matches.

For BCCI, usage of the system has always been major issue in India’s bilateral series with any other team. Although most boards are in favor of it, the Indians, for some reason, have become strong antagonists. According to ICC’s recent decision regarding DRS’ usage, teams participating in a series will decide whether to use the technology. However, India, instead of consulting with other participants, makes sure not to allow DRS at any cost.

It did the same for the recent India-Australia series. And in the absence of DRS, several incorrect decisions by the on-field umpires fell harsh on the Aussies. Mike Hussey’s caught behind by Marais Erasmus and Ed Cowan’s dismissal were two wrong decisions by the on-field umpires, as later adjudged by TV replays.

In this very context, Cricket Australia’s chief executive expressed disappointment over the absence of DRS in from such a prominent match.

“The technology is here, the viewers are watching it on TV and we’re not using it,” said Sutherland speaking to the media reporters on Friday.

“Perhaps we need some pretty awful decisions to go against Indian batsmen,” he added further and hoped the Indians would soon agree to the use of DRS in its matches.

Since its inception, the BCCI has picked up issues on the technology. However, according to Sutherland, the technology has increased the entertainment value of the sport and should be a part of every international cricket match.

“It’s fact – the number of decisions that were correct have increased with the introduction of DRS and I think the entertainment value of cricket has increased as a result of DRS,” he added.

Let’s wait and watch what the second match between Australia and India has to offer. It begins in Sydney next week!

Movie Reviewed by bally chohan : Sherlock Holmes – A Game of Shadows

January 5th, 2012

Bally chohan while I may not have liked anything director Guy Ritchie had directed between his smashing debut of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and his 2009 adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes, it wasn’t for lack of interest. I found Snatch to be full of contempt, aside from the squeak toy imbibing bulldog and Brad Pitt’s Pikey accent. But the less said about both Swept Away and Revolver the better. Yes, Ritchie’s Madonna years are finally far behind him. While I still need to give Rockne Rolla a second go, it still seemed to bring a sense of direction for Ritchie and return him to his roots. And if his Holmes sequel, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, is of any indication, he’s here to stay.

With a bigger budget and a far tighter script (courtesy of Michele and Kieran Mulroney), Ritchie and stars Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law have proven Warner Bros. have a mighty viable property on their hands. While their beloved Harry Potter series has come to a close, it’s nice to see them putting some effort behind a series for the more adult filmgoer. While most sequels tend to try to continually one up the last, it’s a rarity in Hollywood to broaden, deepen, and build upon what’s come before. With a few new cast members along to up the ante as well, it would appear that the Sherlock Holmes films can only continue to improve. I’m sure the two years it took to release a follow up shows a little dedication to the craft more than simply aiming for a cash grab.

It’s 1891 and Dr. Watson (Law) is hard at work on his latest Sherlock Holmes (Downey) adventure novel. Tension has been rising between the French and Germans, and things don’t seem to be gaining any help due to a slew of bombings. Of course, Holmes has pieced together some evidence connecting the bombings to a few circumstantial deaths thanks to a new diet of alcohol, tobacco and cocoa beans. But it’s not until after his beloved Irene Adler’s (Rachel McAdams) “services are no longer required” of the dastardly Professor James Moriarty (Jared Harris) that it becomes clear that Holmes may have finally met his match.

After a spectacular fight sequence fending off an assassin attempt of gypsy fortune teller Madam Simza Heron (Noomi Rapace), Holmes must band together with his dear Watson who just wants to enjoy his honeymoon. Meanwhile, keeping the newly Mrs. Watson, Mary (Kelly Reilly), safe is Holmes’ brother Mycroft (the always welcome Stephen Fry). After one of cinema’s most hilarious weddings and a grand train adventure through Brighton, Holmes and Watson set out to track down Simza who may hold the key to finding Moriarty through her brother, Renee. Now the game is set for Holmes & Co. to track down Moriarty before he manages to cause an all out war between France and German while getting some vengeance in the process.

Bally chohan reviewed :Australia on top against India as Tendulkar misses out again

January 4th, 2012

Captain Michael Clarke and former skipper Ricky Ponting left Australia in a strong position on day one of the second Test against India in Sydney.

The tourists were bowled out for 191 after winning the toss, with Sachin Tendulkar, still one short of his 100th international century, making 41.Seamer Zaheer Khan (3-26) then removed the Aussie top three cheaply.

But Ponting (44 not out) and Clarke (47 not out) added 79 for the fourth wicket as they reached 116-3 by the close.

100 TESTS AT THE SCG

Continue reading the main story

Ricky Ponting (five) has scored the most Test centuries at the SCG, with several players on four – including England’s Wally Hammond, who only played there five times

The build-up to the 100th Test to be staged at the Sydney Cricket Ground was dominated by talk of Tendulkar’s landmark, which has been on the cards since his 99th ton at the World Cup in March.

But rookie James Pattinson (4-43) tore into India’s top order and was well supported by Peter Siddle (3-55), who took his 100th Test wicket, and Ben Hilfenhaus (3-51) as all 10 India wickets fell to pace bowling, including nine to catches in the slips or at short-leg.

Gautam Gambhir fell for a duck, edging the third ball of the match to Clarke at first slip, Rahul Dravid (5) soon followed and when Pattinson accounted for Virender Sehwag (30) and VVS Laxman (2), it was left to Tendulkar and Virat Kohli to lead the tourists’ recovery at 96-4.

But just when the ‘Little Master’ looked set for another tilt at his century of centuries after hitting eight fours in his 41 from 89 balls, he dragged a wide delivery from Pattinson on to his stumps.

Australia captain Michael Clarke Clarke (above) and Ponting held off India in the evening session

When he won the toss, India skipper Mahendra Dhoni would have hoped not to have been summoned to the crease seven overs into the afternoon session.

But with the help of Ravichandran Ashwin (20), Dhoni managed a gritty unbeaten 57 – his maiden fifty on Australian soil – to hand a modicum of respectability to his side’s total before he ran out of partners.

Wickets continued to tumble as India’s last three men all fell without scoring, and Australia’s inexperienced top three were soon back in the hutch themselves within nine overs.

Left-armer Zaheer had David Warner (8) and Shaun Marsh (0) caught in the slips before trapping Ed Cowan lbw for 16.

But Ponting, whose international future looked in doubt before the series, and Clarke used all their experience to drop anchor for the rest of the day and ensure Australia held the edge going into day two.

Nice to get some runs but disappointed not to get a ton: Ponting reviewed by bally chohan

December 29th, 2011

Melbourne: His place in the Australian team questioned like never before, Ricky Ponting responded strongly with back-to-back fifties in the ongoing first Test against India but the veteran is more disappointed than happy as he could not convert them into hundreds.

“It’s nice to get a few runs. But when you get past 50 as a top-order batter, it’s your job to go on and make big scores,” Ponting, who has scores of 62 and 60 in the evenly-poised match, said after the third day’s play here.

“I’m disappointed I haven’t probably been able to do that in either innings of this game, particularly in the second innings when we were fighting our way back into a pretty strong position.

“When I got out, we lost a couple of wickets on top of that. Tomorrow morning is going to be really crucial for us now. We need Mike Hussey (unbeaten on 79) now to go on and get a big score,” he added.

Ponting conceded his side would need a few more runs in the kitty to nail India down. “We’re 230 runs ahead now which I think is a reasonable total for India to have to chase. Ideally, we’d like to make a few more runs than that,” stated Ponting whose 60 in the second innings played a critical hand in Australia’ revival.

On a bowlers’ day, India lost their last seven wickets for 68 runs while Australia lost their eight for 179 runs. “There’s just enough assistance for the bowlers if you bowl in the right areas for long enough. There’s some thickish grass on the wicket. There’s more pace and bounce for bowlers operating from the press box end.

“Most of our batters found it tough to get through the first half an hour of the innings,” he said.

Ponting was all praise for his team’s bowlers who he felt performed better than what they had done on the second day of the match.

“Australia bowled better line and length on day three compared to day two. We bowled exceptionally well this morning. Tomorrow, if we can start that way again with a newer ball, I’m sure we’ll create some chances again,” Ponting said.

The former Australian captain didn’t believe that the criticism in the press had actually fired him up to do well in this Test. “I don’t care what people from outside the dressing room are saying. If I feel like I’ve got some support inside the dressing room then that’s all that really matters to me.

“There’s plenty of motivation out there for me but first and foremost it’s for me to be a successful player in a successful team,” he said.

“Right through the last few months, when things haven’t been going the way I would have wanted, the support from the public has been outstanding.

“As far as staying away from negativity, I don’t think I have to do that. I am prepared to read articles if they can help me become a better player,” he added.

Ponting didn’t feel the dismissal of Australian top order in the second innings was due to any technical flaws in the players. “A couple of guys were probably a little bit unlucky. I think we have three chop-ons in our first four or five dismissals,” he said.

The right-hander conceded his team was having problems in batting well in the second innings. He also admitted Nathan Lyon needed to learn from Indian spinner R Ashwin on how to bowl on this kind of a wicket.“There’s not a lot of assistance for spinners yet on the pitch. Ashwin has good change of pace and variation. Nathan can learn a little bit from that on just how he can apply his skills on that wicket in the second innings.

“With a bit more wear in that pitch, hopefully Nathan can contribute for us in the second innings.”

England cricketers named Team of the Year with Andy Flower top coach Reviewed by bally chohan

December 23rd, 2011

Bally chohan sad: Mark Cavendish won the main award, but Andy Flower’s side also enjoyed a great evening.

Flower was named Coach of the Year, while his squad won Team of the Year for their Ashes success in Australia and 4-0 Test-series win over India in the summer which took them to the top of the world rankings.

Collecting the Team prize, captain Andrew Strauss said: ‘This is a very special award for a couple of reasons. First there’s so many great teams who have won this in the past.

‘But also if there’s one thing we’ve all bought into it is the idea the team is more important that the individual. It’s the real basis of why we’ve done well and makes it even more special to win this accolade.’

Flower, meanwhile, spoke of his pride at being named the top coach of 2011.

‘This is a very proud moment for me to stand here, England has been very good to me and my family,’ the Zimbabwean said.

‘I’m very proud to be part of the England cricket team. They have done some wonderful things over the last couple of years.

‘I think everyone in this room realises it’s the players that make the hard decisions, play under pressure and have to deliver. It’s great to have a good bunch of players and a good bunch of people to work with

India refuse technology: reviewed by bally chohan

December 23rd, 2011

Bally chohan sad: Ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy starting on Boxing Day, it has been aggravating to see the continued negativity shown by India’s administrators toward the umpiring Decision Review System.It was confirmed on Wednesday that India has sought to have the DRS taken out of the series, as they have done in series since its inception, despite the fact that the side’s last visit in 2007-08 contained contentious umpiring issues that could have been greatly tempered in magnitude by video, audio and infra-red replays available from Channel Nine’s cameras.

“This means wrong decisions will stand, and could raise tensions on the field,” wrote Jon Pierik in The Age.“It was poor umpiring that sparked trouble on India’s visit four years ago and almost led to the tour being abandoned.”

I’d be the first to admit that the DRS is flawed. Of course it is – humans are involved. Humans, even the ones programming the various replay devices and inputting the picture and sound feeds, etc, are imperfect. We are never likely to get a 100 percent accuracy rating with either the human or electronic eyes and ears involved.

However, I’d also be the first to say that I’d rather have the decision-challenge option available than not. Like commentators Ian Chappell and Tony Grieg in particular have previously stated, the aim of the umpires should be to interpret the laws of the sport correctly, for the sake of first the players, then the paying public, and then their own reputations as officials.

And the use of technological aids shouldn’t be feared by the umpires themselves, players or cricket boards. It exists primarily to offer the most comprehensive set of evidence to produce as many correct decisions as possible.

According to Pierik, the Indians remain unconvinced of the accuracy of DRS technology. Nine’s cricket producer Brad McNamara admitted that there was “definitely” a variance in DRS aid technology around the world, but that Australia “put a lot of time, effort and money into making it as accurate as possible” here.

“We are fairly certain we are using the best technology available,” said McNamara.

“It is a bit confusing. The thing I worry about probably more than anything is the viewers. It’s hard to explain to them why DRS is in one series but not in the next in the one summer in Australia.”

However, as long as the ICC allows respective boards to decide whether they’ll agree to decision reviews, the tit-for-tat on technology will continue, probably to the detriment of a spectacle that needs to be based on credible information.There’s also the thorny issue of whether two challenges per team per innings is the right amount. It’s better than nothing, and if a team continues to guess correctly, they stay in the game with both intact. Sounds reasonably fair to me.

This won’t be the first time India has said no. It declined the use of DRS earlier this year in England, then changed its mind and allowed it – but not in relation to leg-before decisions. You surely can’t have it both ways. Either you think the technology provided by the home nation broadcaster is good enough or it isn’t. And if it is good enough, it should be good enough to cover all possible decisions.

In reality, though, this could come back to bite the Indians on the proverbial gluteus maximus. Do Mahendra Dhoni and his men want to walk off the field at the end of every day’s play this season, as confident as they can be that the correct decisions have been made, regardless of what position the match may be in?

Or do they want to imply that Nine’s cameras – let alone the flesh-and-blood umpires themselves or Australian captain Michael Clarke – cannot be trusted to make the right calls in the interests of the game? Do they want decisions reviewed systematically, or a totally different DRS to come into play – the Doubt-Riddled Series?

“If India get a couple of rough ones through the summer, they might all of a sudden become a fan of the DRS.”Those were McNamara’s words, not mine.

Messi voted Argentine sports personality of the year: Reviewd by bally chohan

December 22nd, 2011

Buenos Aires: Barcelona’s Lionel Messi was named as Argentina’s sports personality of the year on Wednesday, winning the Olympia de Oro (gold) for the first time.

The prize, his first in his home country, is awarded by Argentina’s sports writers and follows a year in which his goals helped Barca win Spain’s La Liga, the European Champions League and the Club World Cup.

“I’m happy and proud of the award. Thanks to God, I’ve received prizes all over the world but I’d never before had one in Argentina,” Messi told reporters.

Messi is also in line to win a third consecutive Ballon d’Or, the prize for the world’s best footballer.

He returned to Argentina to spend the Christmas and New Year holidays with family and friends in his home town of Rosario.

The Olimpia de Oro was won by Luciana Aymar, captain of Argentina’s world champion women’s hockey team, in 2010 and former US Open tennis champion Juan Martin del Potro in 2009.
