ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 is gaining the heat all the more as the top rated teams India, South Africa, West Indies, England, Australia, Pakistan, New Zealand and Sri Lanka have qualified for the quarter final stages. Fans have been treated some quality cricket during the league stages and the competition is all the more tough now. India Vs Australia is one of the much awaited matches in the knockout stage fixtures.



Players To Watch


R.ASHWIN

He did not get a game till the very end of the tourney's league stage, and now it seems Dhoni will bowl him exclusively in the Powerplay Overs.Expecting him to make the Australians scratch around 


R.PONTING


If any player is due the big score on Thursday,it would be Punter.He has claimed there is nothing small about the ball he is seeing and that it is only a matter of one good score in a crucial game for him to get back into contributing in what could be the dying stages of his illustrious ODI career


Key Battles
Tendulkar/Sehwag vs. Lee/Tait


Sehwag and Tendulkar have been lynchpins of Indian batting while Lee and Tait lead the Australian attack. The early battle between the pairs can go a long way in deciding the outcome of the game.   


Watson Vs Zaheer


Watson has been Australia’s most consistent batsmen in all formats in recent months while Zaheer has led from the front as far as Indian bowling is concerned. The contest between the two makes for a great viewing.


Overview

Australian batting has looked vulnerable to spin in past and with spin being India’s forte; Aussie batsmen have to find a way to deal with Indian tweakers.Australia don’t have potent spinners in their squad and therefore much would depend on how the troika of Lee, Tait and Johnson bowl here.

Choosing the right combination would be the biggest challenge for Dhoni in this game.Bowling continues to be India’s weak link and it is there that the real challenge lies for Dhoni to work out the right combination.Batting collapse at death overs is another factor India have to rectify in this game. The team has collapsed more often than not after a stupendous start and repeating this may prove fatal for them at knockout stage.

Prediction 

The India VS Australia Quarterfinals will be more of a psychological battle mainly for the Indians.It is hard to imagine a Semi-Final without Australia . This one is going to be a close one though, and difficult to predict. 

My Heart says AUSTRALIA & my Mind says INDIA,

I am going to follow my heart because that makes me happy.

RATING BY RAGHUL MUTHAZHAGU

PONGOLO PONGAL it was indeed a very good pongal especially for the movie lovers and the movie world!!we saw the release of three most awaited movies in Tamil Cinema AADUKALAM KAVALAN and SIRUTHAI and i am gonna review these three films one by one and the first film that I'm gonna review is gonna be AADUKALAM


AADUKALAM MOVIE REVIEW










Starring: Dhanush, Tapasee Pannu, Kishore, Jayabalan

Direction: Vetrimaaran

Music: GV Prakash Kumar

Production: Kathiresan


 The movie is basically about human emotions with rooster fight as a backdrop..The movie shows us about once a trend in most part of the world the rooster fight,.The movie is about Pettaikaran(Jayabalan),Rathnavelu,K.P Karupu(Danush)and Durai(Kishore) and how a rooster fight change their lives forever
                                       In an unexpected situation, Pettaikaarar challenges Rathinam to a cockeral fight which witnesses Karuppu violating his mentor Pettaikaarar’s word but emerging successfully with enviable proceeds. This results in the swelling of his status among his folks which plants the seeds of animosity in the minds of Pettaikaarar. Rest of Aadukalam travels on an unexpected path with twists and turns highlighting on the way the multiple layers of human emotions with sense playing truant.


              The director has sculpted the first half thoroughly planned and executed but he has seemed to lost it in the second half as it seems like the consequential planning(newtons third law planning).Danush has drastically improved has an actor with every little emotions are clearly expressed in his thin face.Jayabalan with Rada Ravi s voice seems to do justice to the pettaikaran s Role and kishore kumar does what he has to do for durai character.I wasn't personally impressed by Tapasee charcterization of IRENE.Dialogues are a big plus to this movie and the camera work is also good makes us feel like a part of Madurai,and one of the biggest plus for this movie are the songs and BGM by G.V Prakash who seems to be growing in talent day by day
            Overall a good script executed well by a good director supported by some excellent acting but the climax good have been more stronger ...Aadukalam was not only the playground for rooster fights but it was also a playground for human emotions .
