    I think we should take this to the movie discussion thread. B grader going on.

    true...Now Pakis are also trying to help India make a decent total by bowling wides since anything they bowl within batsmen's reach they keep getting themselves out one way or another lol

    Who the f**k is Poonam Pandey?

    Kingfisher model poonam pandey to bare all in stadium if India wins semi

     

    She has become hugely popular.. Trending at no. 1 and 2 on twitter since yesterday.. but no one noticed the fine print. She said she will do it if "it is legal and also after taking permission from Police and BCCI". Lol as if they will give her the permission (they might give her permission for a private round though :P )

    He still has a batting avg of around 50... His temperament is appropriate for a captain, just that he is not in form doesnt makes him undeserving in the team...

    yes it doesn't.. But playing the likes of Munaf Patel and Ashish Nehra in the team make him undeserved..

    Thks, i will take it to the service centre in next month after my work gets completed :). what should i ask for at the service centre?

    tell them you want to get dust etc and fans cleaned up and try to get it done in front of you only.... btw what's your laptop model? I can check if it is easy enough for you to at least check if that is the issue or not (though 2.5 years of usage would definitely mean there is a lot of dirt in there)

    GS, it's better if you get it cleaned asap..Otherwise it may harm your system. It shouldn't cost much either. You can either do it at home easily (well, depending on the laptop company and model. I generally buy laptops only after finding if it is easy enough to open and tinker around) or you can get it done from some service center. They shouldn't charge more than 200-250 bucks for a complete clean up I guess.

    ^^ your exp. is good but that is an exception rather than the norm... In general, HP guys are graud bastarads.. Anything you give to them requires a motherboard change and 2 months of your time.. For every 1 good story about their service, there are around 1000 bad ones :P

    GS: Temps look ok to me.. Edit: What kunni said. Generally I see temps around 45-50 max on most of my laptops on idle. When my old laptop starts getting to 60 on idle, I know it's time for a cleanup. But of course, this can change from laptop to laptop.

     

    Milol: Stick with Asus. They've got the best built out there in the non-mac world. If you HAVE to go with anything else, then take Dell as their A.S.S is excellent.

    Avoid vaio and HP like the plague. Former is known to be a battery sucking monster and latter is your worst customer service nightmares come true (Sony is pretty close to HP in customer service as well)

    Some news channels barking tht if it rains then Pak will qualify ,it isnt fully true

     

    Rules if it rains in knock out stages -

    If it rains on 1st day ,match is postpond to 2nd day

    If it rains on 2nd day then match is postpond to 3rd day and on 3rd day there will be T20 match

    If it rains on 3rd day then match is awarded to the team who has more points and better run rate if points are equal .

    In this case Pakistan has more points .

     

     

    Hope this helps :cheers:

     

    It's currently raining heavily in Mohali . :nerves:

    Correct. All of this can be verified from http://static.icc-cricket.yahoo.net/ugc/documents/DOC_700263D0BC21E1C8159D6ECA28249DBB_1298463333670_479.pdf

    All the sites were giving contradictory info, so I found out this cricket handbook from ICC by using some google foo on their docs site since it is not linked anywhere and confirmed the above. The only things you will not find in the pdf is two specific things:

    1. Number of reserve days are not specified and left to hosts. I'm not sure if there are 2 reserve days or 1. I think there should be 2.

    2. The 3rd day match isn't mandatory to be a T20. ICC asks the teams and hosts to complete the match with at least minimum number of overs bowled. So a T20 will be legal but I'm not sure if that decision has already been taken as I couldn't find any direct info about that.
