overwhelmed by the masses...
i feel smothered by everything going on around me right now. bien sur, i'm not the most organized @ the best of times, but even then there's just a lot happening. hardly three weeks into school and i'm being told about a calculus midterm next week! and the week after isn't any better, another midterm. still trying to pick up a 2nd hand management accounting textbook and with the cricket @ odd hours, it just doesn't seem to be working out too great right now...
i don't feel like i'm losing the battle, but i don't think it's exactly a pleasant week or two lined up in front of me. they should plan india's cricket schedules according to my convenience. it's great and all to follow matches but how many more sleepless nights?
on a more pleasant note, i'd like to welcome![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pappubahry to planet-lj. it's great to have you on board mate.
the cricket continues tonight, with an obvious focus on mr.dravid who appears to have embroiled himself into some unnecessary ball-tampering mess. silly, silly! *cries of ban him!*
the australian open has started and once again a string of seeds slide out @ the first round. flippin' heck. does anybody know of an instance or the last time the top 16 seeds made it through to the 2nd round successfully? what do u guyz think about this 32 seed system?
anyways, i'm off to get rid of my cloudy lenses and get started on some calculus assignment due tomorrow. in the meanwhile, anybody like to do a social context assignment for me? *lol*
cheers!

Re: ODI Changes
Bowlers should also be allowed more than one bouncer an over. I'm curious to know whether Akram's interpretation of the one bouncer per over rule is correct. According to him, it is one bouncer per batsman per over. So, assuming an existing batsman gets out the first ball, and new batsman face one ball in each of the following 5 deliveries, technically, as per Akram's interpretation the bowler could legally bowl 6 bouncers?
Australia deserved to win yesterday after Gilchrist's inital onslaught. Martyn has been in horrible form throughout the Indian Summer. I wonder how long he has until the selectors run out of patience and replace him. Katich missed out on a good opportunity. Ganguly is 7 wickets short of an ODI double.
Meanwhile, here's a curious link I came across: Diamonds are a cow's best friend (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/3410955.stm).
Enjoy!
Re: ODI Changes
Not great, but consistent enough to suggest that he hasn't been in "horrible" form. You shouldn't be dropped after averaging 42 for a series (though it has been done - Dean Jones averaged 48 in his last test series, 92/3 in Sri Lanka, for no good reason).
Not sure about the current one-day playing conditions on bouncers. I can't find any recent playing conditions on CricInfo, if you can't find them I'll make a more thorough search sometime later.
