Champions Trophy Reports
The Champions Trophy has come to an end, with Australia taking the honours. West Indies had a great start to the match, with Gayle and Chanderpaul going great guns. It was Bracken who destroyed the top order of the West Indies. They were all out for 138. Australia had a bad start as they lost two quicks wickets for just 13 runs, then there was another twist in the form of Weather almost carrying the game to the next day. But then Australia came out after the rain break and and finished the game, winning the match by 8 wickets. Lifting the Champions Trophy for the first time... Hats off to the champions.
India v West Indies was a contest which West Indies could have knocked out easily, but they almost let the match slip from their grasp, India could have won the match if the Indian bowlers would have bowled at a length and not bowl short. West Indies came out winners by 3 wickets...
In two days we were treated to two of the best ICC champions Trophy matches, the first was between Pakistan and Sri Lanka, in which Pakistan were the winners by 4 wickets. The very next day we had another wonderful match between the World Champions Australia and the former ICC Champion West Indies, it was big upset there, with the West Indies winning by 10 runs. It was a great contest. More to come.......
The ICC champions Trophy is underway with the qualifying matches going on. Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, Bangladesh and West Indies the former champions fight it out for the two spots. The qualifying matches end on the 14th. India play their first match on the 15th against England at Jaipur.

Binoy Reporting
It has been almost 10 days now, since we had an international cricket match. We have two matches starting tomorrow. Sri Lanka take on South Africa at Colombo in the first test and then in the second match of the day, England take on Pakistan in the second test at Old Trafford. I will be reporting on the SL v SA
Sri Lanka take on South Africa in the first test at SSC Colombo. Jayasuriya is back in the squad and he will most likely open the innings in place of Vandort. Vaas is ruled out of the match due to an hamstring injury he picked up at the end of the England tour.
The South African had a good practice session in their warm up match. All the batsmen looked good. Pollock in the squad will bolster the bowling attack. Prince will be leading the team for the first time, it will be interesting to watch how he takes the responsibility from Smith, who twisted an ankle prior to the tour. Watch out for more in this blog.

THRILLERS
Hello and welcome, it has been a long time, since I have posted something. Wonderful two weeks of greatest Test Matches of all times. The Ashes 2nd Test and 3rd Test. It has been a great 2 weeks for all the cricket fans. The Ashes will be having the highest fan following around the world now. Even England who are crazy about their Soccer and have the fans sticking to cricket now.
The second Test was a thriller and provided the much excitement. England winning a thriller, greatest test matches of all times. The Third Test was also as exciting as the second one, going to the last ball of the day. England required only 1 wicket to win this too, but Lee and McGrath played 4 overs to survive and end the match in a greatest of draws of all times. Flintoff from one end and Harmison from the other end attacked the last pair. The pair played well to put off every kind of Dynamite thrown at them. Ponting played a great innings of all times to score 156. He was the 9th wicket to fall. He played from the morning when Langer fell off the first ball of day5. He came and played true captain's Knock, a match saving knock. True champion batsman.
More to come, please stay tuned. This is not the end of Ashes, it is the beginning of more to come in the final two tests.

Wi-Fi
What is Wi-Fi?
It is wireless fidelity networks.
It is new, fast and easy way of going online - wirelessly. All u need is a laptop/mobile with 802.11b standard (will explain standards in the forthcoming blog of mine).
Wi-Fi networks consist of two key elements - a wireless access point router and a Wi-Fi enabled device.
The area where u can access Wi-Fi is called a 'hotspot'.
How Wi-Fi works?
A Wi-Fi hotspot broadcasts radio signals from antennas atop buildings, traffic lights, inside cafes, hotels and airports. An antenna has a range of about 300 to 500 feet. The antenna and router provide high-speed connectivity to the Internet.
Some of the hotspots in Chennai are Taj Coromandel, Sify I-Way, International Airport.
This was taken from an article I have read. This is to keep involved everyone in the latest technology.

ASHES 2ND TEST PREVIEW
Edgbaston in Birmingham is the venue for the second Ashes Test. England have done well at Edgbaston. They have won 4 times against Australia and drawn 4 from 11 matches. England badly need a win here to stay in the series. It is better to be 1-1 than 0-2 in the series.
The wicket at Edgbaston has a green top and looks wetter too. This is because of the rains last week. The pitch is expected to be slow.
Seeing the green top the captains would most likely to bowl after winning the toss.
Both teams are unlikely to make any changes to the 11. The only possibility been Collingwood in place of Giles.
All in all an interesting match coming up. Please stay tuned, löök out for updates of the Test.
