This is the message I get these days when I try to update my Windows XP. How on earth can my operating system be detected as Mac!!

Dear cricket fans,

First let me apologize for the dismal performance of the team at the World Cup. We take full responsibility of the defeat. We understand your frustration at the team’s exit in the first round and especially at the loss to Bangladesh but you see we had no option. The loss to Bangladesh was planned because the Indian Government struck a deal with the Bangladesh that if it allows its team to lose this match then the illegal Bangladeshi immigrants,spread across length and breadth of India, would be accepted back. Plus there was lot of pressure from the ICC to make Bangladesh win as it has been so many years since it was granted test status.

There are times in my life when I wonder what to do next. This time I was a silent spectator to atrocities that someone inflicted on someone I loved so much. I was sleeping when the call came. Trembling voice on the other side of the phone broke me the news about the devastating day that just rocked the family. And I reacted the way I always do under such circumstances, passive face with not a word from my mouth.

I think the last warning served its purpose. I hope the Indian cricket team continue its form all the way to world cup glory.

Mean while the cricketing world has witnessed shocks beyond imagination. When Hansie Cronje died in an air crash, I was in awe because I still held him in high respect in spite of his involvement in the match fixing scandal. But when I heard about Woolmer’s death, I had my foot in my mouth! They both complimented each other well. South Africa’s phenomenal success in cricket was largely due to the coachmanship of Woolmer . I still remember how they first introduced wireless headphones in cricket during the World Cup in 1999 so that the coach can directly interact with the captain in the field. He is also credited with the introduction of technology, more specifically laptops, for coaching sessions.

A friend of mine shot this picture today in the morning. Even though he is not a pro but this picture speaks volume of his skills and his 10X optical zoom camera.
