The future of Indian cricket - Part 2

Now I am not too sure if the future of Indian cricket is in safe hands. India got a strong dose of their own medicine from Pakistan in the U-19 World Cup final today. Pakistan had India reeling at 9 for the loss of 6 wickets after making only 109 in their innings! An amazing turn of events...especially since the Indian top-order had performed really well up to this point. It will be interesting to see how many runs India ends up with.

The future of Indian cricket

The future of Indian cricket is looking really bright. Check out the performance of India in the U-19 World Cup semi-final today (on Cricinfo). They have completely demolished England. After scoring 292 in their 50 over, they now have England floundering at 38/8. Unsurprisingly, no English batsman has scored in double figures, but what is surprising is that all the guys who are out have scored at least 1. I wonder what the lowest ODI score is in which every batsman has scored at least 1 run.

Update: The Indians have finally bowled England out for 58. And all the guys who got out scored more than 1...one guy did manage to get to double figures though :-(

Inspired Songs

Much has been said and heard about Indian music directors copying international songs. Check ou Inspired Indian Film Songs for more information on that. However, it is unusual to find the copying occur in the other direction. Check out Helen Abadzi's Blog for information about Greek songs inspired by Hindi songs.
