I guess no total is Un-Hussey-lable!

Well played Pakistan! You gave it all you got. Considering the fact that Pakistani players were snubbed by IPL and champions league, and had little exposure other than the drubbing they got during the Australian summer down under, they played like the champions that they are.

They have been marginalized by the world. And they came roaring back and almost brought the world to its knees. The reporters and commentators had indigestion for 39 overs today, as they spent all that time eating their own words.

Pakistan missed Umar Gul's reverse-swinging yorkers that were the hallmark of Pakistan's bowling in late overs last year. Nevertheless, we are proud of their effort today and the courage they showed despite everyone (including us fans) writing them off. They peaked at the right time and almost pulled off a repeat of their giant killing performance that took them past South Africa in last year's T20 World Cup semifinal.

The fearsome twosome who can help Pakistan beat Australia in the Semifinal.

Fri May 14
15:30 GMT | 11:30 local
11:30 EDT | 10:30 CDT | 08:30 PDT 2nd Semi-Final - Australia v Pakistan
Beausejour Stadium, Gros Islet, St Lucia
26 - 30°C Forecast Showers

Frank Duckworth and Tony Lewis.

More famously known by their last names in Duckworth/Lewis.

And even more famously known by their combined lastname initials "D/L" or Dreadful Loss Method. Formally known as Duckworth/Lewis Method. It has helped beat the hitherto formidable England. And even overcome the luck of the Irish.

With showers forecast, D/L Method migt be another clause that you may want to add to your prayers.

Another Financial Meltdown?

So sad on the financial power-house collapse.

India on the brink at the T20 World Cup. Thanks to all the IPL franchises for snubbing the best players in the world during the auction earlier this year, hiring old farts frm down under for gazillions and marginalizing the whole sub-continent.

Gul, Afridi and Sohail Tanwir (purple hat holder in IPL 1 who helped Rajhastan win) were all left out in sheer arrogance. How could Afridi reproduce the 2009 magic If he can't play in IPL and champions league and keep sharp?

Meanwhile IPL and the champions league have produced absolutely nothing for India and in the process screwed thy neighbor!

Can You tell me how to get... how to get through Wall Street?

Brought to you by the letter "M" and the letter "B".

M is for "Mojo" and B is for "Bailout":

Wall Street seems to have lost its Mojo, when a trader entered "b" for billion instead of an "m" for million.

That sent the stock market into a frenzy.

Are you serious?!!
