New Lows for Cricket

Link 2 - Day 3 England vs India

This is about the last 2 days of cricket between India and England. Match changing decisions have been made. Decisions have gone Englands way.

A post (from link 2) shows that if this was the other way around, England would have stuck with the decision. What happened to honest sportsmanship?

Saturday:
-Harbhajan LBW, then 3 wickets go quickly after that.
Correct decision: Not out. This has cost India 50-100 runs

Sunday:
-Bell run out.
Incorrect decision: Put back in to bat
-Trott LBW
Incorrect decision: Should have walked. These 2 decisions have given England momentum and 50-100 more runs.

2 days of decisions going Englands way. This has turned a game that was in India's favour to England. This is now over for India who will lose the series and the number 1 place to England.

Not being biased, I would have to say Broad deserves man of the series with his batting and bowling. In addition Dravid is a close 2nd with his batting.

England are missing Trott (who's not at his game). India are missing Harbhajan today, Zaheer, Sehwag and Kohli.

-With these decisions, should 3rd umpires be more involved?
-Should players on both sides be honest?

Elsewhere:
This is not the only sport at a loss, look at Football with England denied a World Cup goal and Argentina given one. Is that fair?

Hotmail - Sub folders now possible.

For a long time I found this an annoying problem. The team have finally allowed us to create sub folders. See the attached screen shot as proof.

If you're like me, then you will be glad to be able to organise your emails. If you use outlook you will also see the folders within sub folders and all emails should sync.

Windows 7 vs Royal Mail

You should all be aware that Windows 7 is out on the 22nd October 2009. This has been planned for quite some time. However only recently the workers at the Royal Mail have decided to go on Strike on the 22nd and 23rd October 2009.

I don't know if you picked this up already, but the release of Windows 7 will be delayed even longer because of employees of the Royal Mail.

If it was me, I would personally look to employ some of the 2 million unemployed UK citizens (according to the BBC) and give them £4 an hour (cash in hand). This would put pressure on the fortunate Royal Mail staff that still have a job to "shut up" and "get on with it".

Remember this, there are over 2 million people that could replace you tomorrow. So don't cause grief to others expecting goods, money, travel documents and so on.

Also I was in charge at the Royal Mail, I would teach them a lesson by paying them 1 week later. Two can play at that game...

Apple users lose files

Anyone upgrading to the OS "Snow Leapord" may lose all their files when they login under a guest account.

According to the BBC "The problem, reported by more than 100 users on discussion forums, surfaced shortly after the OS's August release." Now that includes everything like pictures, videos, music and so on.

For those of you that are careful, I hope you ran a backup of your files as no OS is 100% perfect.

If you want to use a quick fix, backup the files in other accounts, delete the guest account profiles and then a new profile should work fine.

Final Note:
Tell your friends with the OS that you've heard of this great program called "iDelete". It only works when they login as a guest :)

Bolt gets new 200m world record in 19.19 seconds at Berlin

Athletics has become even more interesting because of this guy. Usain Bolt makes records and beats them yet again. Only recently he finished the 100m in 9.59 seconds (0.11 off the previous record at the Beijing olympics) and he slowed down, so more time can be taken off the 100m record.

Now he has done it again with 19.19 seconds. Again it's 0.11 seconds off the previous record he achieved at the Beijing olympics, when he finished in 19.30 seconds. This time I don't think he slowed down. The replay can be seen on the BBC's website: video of the race.

If everyone had a half second head start today, Bolt still would have won. That's how big the victory was. A video replay will show you how much of a gap he had over the second place finisher Alonso Edward from Panama (who finished in 19.81 seconds).

I'll try an post a link to just this race soon. Well done to the Bolt. Can he strike again, who knows?

Update: The latest video replay (from the BBC).

Schumacher is back

Michael Schumacher is coming back to Formula 1 (F1). A recent article from the BBC reveals this news. This is because of a traggic accident that sees my favourite driver Felipe Massa out for the rest of the season. The BBC have a clip of what happened available here.

Unfortunate for Massa when he was guaranteed Qually 3, but who would have known this would happen. I wish him the best and hopefully Michael can rack up some points for the team in Massa's absence.
