Knowledge is Power!

It is now a commonly agreed fact that Australia got their 16th successive Test victory in the Test played between Jan 02 and Jan 06, 2008 at Sydney unfairly. This was despite memorable bowlng performances by RP Singh on the first day and the brilliant batting of the 4 Indian maestros Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman, Saurav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid and fiesty batting from the tail-enders Harbhajan Singh, RP Singh and Ishant Sharma. However the Men of the Match were the 2 on-field umpires Steve Bucknor and Mark Benson, They not only ROBBED India of a rare victory in Australia but handed them a series deciding defeat instead.

Look at it from another perspective. When Sachin retires in a couple of years or so the cricket historians and numerous Indian TV Channes would like to count the number of tests he won for India; this test will go against him - the test which could have otherwise been called his own. The way he batted in the first innings of this test handed India a great 69 runs lead and a major psychological advantage over the world champions This was after our great world cup winning captain and vice-captain gave away their wickets to a certain one film wonder Bollywood starlet.

Yet another perspective - when cricket historians look at the career of Ishant Sharma they would say he went wicketless in his first test in Australia. Instead he might have run away with 3 or 4 wickets had the "great" Mr. Bucknor caught the clear "thud" of the Symonds' bat snicking the ball to Dhoni's glove. India would have wrapped Australia under half their eventual first innings score. Come to think of it that could have been much bigger loss for Indian cricket because Ricky Ponting would have charged Sachin, Laxman, Saurav and Harbhajan of sending his entire fielding team hopping like monkeys - after all Australians are happy being called the "kangaroos".

Want to hear others' view on this 'farcical' test of the gentleman's game.

Well not just Indians but even prominent Australian cricket writers like Peter Roebuk are also enraged - please see his comments that appeared in Australian Daily The Age Ponting must be Sacked
Peter Roebuck is a British.

Artistic Vision

Posted by Stacy Esch on November 6, 2023 at 8:15pm 10 Comments

Is an artist's "vision" primarily a product of experience or imagination? I don't want to pursue the simple answer that it's both. Is it primarily one or the other, of if it's just plain old both, how do they interact to create an imaginary world?

Is it true that some people have more artistic vision than others, or is this kind of seeing equally available to all?

Trying to find treatment.

In the beginning of August 2008 I was doing great. I went to the gym 3 times a week for 3 hours each time. I had lost weight and had a nice tone coming. I was nicely tanned with some help of the tanning beds. I rode my motorcycle back and forth to work and to the gym. In the middle of August a leg press came down on top of my head while i was trying to get it reset to the proper location so I would be able to use the equipment. I got very dizzy and had to go home, that was the end of my…
