New Zealand continue India domination in a Tense Finger Chewing Encounter

Brendon McCullum's fireworks ensured that the Kiwis maintain their unbeaten trackrecord against the World Champions Indian in the shortest format of the game. In what turned out to be an absoulte cracker jacker of a finish, McCullum pushed the Kiwis past the finish line when Rohit Sharma failed to hold on to a difficult chance on the last ball of the match. The Kiwis take this series 2-0 with the One Day internationls to follow.

Pathan Brothers conquer Lanka

The script could almost have been out of the holy Ramayana 'Two brother's single-handedly bring down Lanka'. Yusuf and Irfan, how ironical yet fitting image of the Modern India.

We humans have an innate soft corner towards the underdog. Two young boys living in the ghetto dream of playing for their country and bringing glory to the nation by themselves. The rags to riches story has always been a fascination (take the crazy accolades that a just about above average movie Slumdog Millionaire is getting) and today it does not get better than the Pathan Brothers. While it is early days, this story could pan out to be as remarkable as the tennis sister sensations Venus and Serena Williams.

More on the game, while it may be blasphemous to suggest that he has a swagger matching the great Vivian Richards, Yusuf Pathan sure is making a name for himself. The demeanor and fearless hitting while India were completely on the backfoot really turned the match on it's head. Irfan no doubt benefited from his elder brother's sheer presence and turned in a gem of his own. This could very well be the innings that resurrects his flailing career.

While we have many Father-Son combinations to have played the game this is probably the first instance we have two brothers reach this level. Check out the highlights of the game below, must say remarkable images after Irfan spanks one out of the ground.

Pangea Day: Kenya sings for India



Just in case you did not know, the word Pangea stands for the hypothetical landmass that existed when all continents were joined, from about 300 to 200 million years ago.

The idea of Pangea Day centres around trying to break those invisible boundaries that we human beings have created. What better way than trying bring down the nationalistic pride that we so dearly adhere to. The video has natives from Kenya singing the Indian National anthem. The whole thing definitely make you stand up and think: we all live on the same planet Earth after all...
