Oh, i am sure those are the people who use IE 6 (Statistics) and believe they are using the most perfect, and trustworthy browser.
If you ask them what is mozilla firefox they will answer you that this is the name of a fox in some zoo
If you ask them what is safari they will tell you that this is exotic walk with guns
If you ask them what is opera they will tell you with confidence that this is an art with music for colors.
Its sad actually. 
Microsoft ... the only place where VARIANT_TRUE != true

And 8 is going down, only just compensated for by 8.1 going up. 8 is looking like another Vista style flop.

Absolutely incredible test cricket series between South Africa and Australia. Loved every bit of it. I guess it was test cricket at its best. Incredible!
I still don't think we can decide the better team. It was just so close.
|
|
|
|
|
err the team that won was the better team (and it pains me to say it)
|
|
|
|
|
Well, yeah, I wanted SA to draw the game. They did put in insane amounts of concentration.

Out of interest. Why? They were unbeaten for something like 6 years it was good to see them lose for once, gives the rest a chance.

That's the team I support. I always want them to win. Now that Sachin doesn't play any more, I don't care if they beat India as well.
|

Assumed being Indian you would support India.

Well, I would have if we still had someone like Ganguly leading us. He was a real fighter and changed the moral altogether. Now, I feel, these youngsters think they are awesome just because they have performed in sub continent. They were thrashed in England, SA and NZ. Hell, they cannot even handle sub-continent any more. See what happened in Asia cup. They surely do not deserve the praise they get.
Similarly, players from SA, NZ and Aus must be able to perform on square turning tracks in order to prove their mettle worldwide.

I am an Indian and would support India any day..but then Ganguly was my all time favorite captain...He didnt win the world cup for us..but for the team to be in current position he was the only one responsible!!with out him we would still be not in this position at all....[No offence to Dhoni however]...
But yes the next team I like is South Africa and it pained to see them lose the test after a great fight...

I didn't... nothing more terrible and almost unsportsmanlike than becoming a blocky bastard to attempt to salvage a draw when there was a full day to play.

Draw is valid result in test cricket. You are not just playing for win here. And SA recently tried to score 450+ and could not get there against Indian bowling attack. Why would they risk anything against a far better bowling attack?

Yes, but only if played in the correct spirit... Attempting to bat out an entire day without even trying to make the score required is a sad way to finish what otherwise would be a good match. This is vastly different to playing "normally" and running out of time to achieve a win (hence ending in a draw).
Just my opinion, of course.

Test cricket? As distinct from production cricket?

Some people just cannot find amusement in the ambiguities of the English language.

Leaving the train at the Gare Du Nord, the first thing my wife and I saw was a tramp s(h)itting in the street.
Merde!

Does it cut while it sucks?
Scissors cuts paper, paper covers rock, rock crushes lizard, lizard poisons Spock, Spock smashes scissors, scissors decapitates lizard, lizard eats paper, paper disproves Spock, Spock vaporizes rock, and as it always has, rock crushes scissors.
