BCCI Cricket News - India seek Pakistan games backing

Board of Control for Cricket in India - India Cricket News & Photos Latest Cricket News:

"The Indian cricket board is looking for sponsors for two one-day games against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi next month.
They have set a Friday deadline for sealed bids of at least £1.7m.
The matches will take place on 18 and 19 April, with money from the first going towards the Kashmir earthquake relief fund.
More than 75,000 people are believed to have been killed in the earthquake, which happened last October.
The games in Abu Dhabi, meanwhile, are part of an initiative by both boards to stage games in countries with large expatriate populations.
It will not be the first time India and Pakistan have played each other away from the subcontinent - in the mid-1990s they played three series in Canada.
And they are hoping to stage five games in Europe in 2007, two of them in England - with Lord's a possible venue. "

India Cricket Match - Test ODI News - Indian Cricket News & Photos Latest Cricket News:

"Andrew Flintoff is hoping to mark his 100th one-day international by leading England to victory over India.
But they go into Friday's game 1-0 down after throwing away the chance of winning the series opener in Delhi with a series of rash strokes. And the team will be in unfamiliar surroundings after deciding not to have a practice session in Faridabad.
England could give the side beaten in Delhi a chance to redeem themselves, although Matthew Hoggard is eager to play his first one-dayer for more than a year after taking a break following the Test series. It was the batting, however, which let England down in the first match and they cannot afford a repeat on what is expected to be another slow pitch.
Fletcher dismissed suggestions that Flintoff and Kevin Pietersen were guilty of trying to out-do each other in terms of big-hitting. Flintoff will be only the 11th England player to make 100 one-day appearances, but it is his excellent response to taking over the captaincy mid-tour, which has really impressed Fletcher.
There is a ray of hope for England in the fact that India have only won once in five previous games at the Nahar Singh Stadium, failing to defend a score of 274-6 against Zimbabwe in their last appearance there four years ago. The home side will make a late decision on the fitness of all-rounder Irfan"

American Splendor

American Splendor : Comics SuperHeroes Cartoons:

"American Splendor is a series of autobiographical comic books and graphic novels written by Harvey Pekar. It was adapted into a movie in 2003.
Pekar was one of the first writers to believe that everyday real life could be a viable topic for comic books, traditionally the province of fantasy-adventure and other genre stories. He began his series in 1976 while working as a file clerk at a Veteran's Administration hospital in Cleveland, Ohio. Being unable to draw himself, he recruited his friend and underground comics master Robert Crumb to help create a comics series based on Pekar's own life. A wide assortment of other artists, including Gary Dumm, Frank Stack, Dean Hapsiel, Kevin Brown, and Joe Zabel, have also illustrated his stories, which are realistic and mostly true narratives dealing with the mundane troubles and frustrations of the everyday world. Pekar tends to document without much interpretation difficult living conditions ('keeping an old car alive in a Cleveland winter') and other people in his life such as co-worker Toby Radloff, an adult male with Asperger's Syndrome, who fills a life (initially appearing rather empty) with a variety of projects including fandom and inexpensive computers."

In 1935, their Superman story was again rejected by newspaper syndicates wanting to avoid lawsuits, who recognized the character as being similar to a lead character from Philip Wylie's 1930 novel Gladiator. DC decided to take a chance with Superman, figuring if any lawsuits were filed, they would just drop the feature. "

Comics SuperHeroes Cartoons

The first Superman character created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster was not a hero, but a villain. Their short story "The Reign of the Superman" concerned a bald-headed villain bent on dominating the world. The story did not sell, forcing the two to reposition their character on the right side of the law. In 1935, their Superman story was again rejected by newspaper syndicates wanting to avoid lawsuits, who recognized the character as being similar to a lead character from Philip Wylie's 1930 novel Gladiator. DC decided to take a chance with Superman, figuring if any lawsuits were filed, they would just drop the feature.

The Cricket World Cup was first held in 1975 in England, with eight teams participating: Australia, England, the West Indies, Pakistan, India, and New Zealand (the six Test nations at the time), with Sri Lanka and a composite team from East Africa).
The first three tournaments were held in England. N. K. P. Salve, President of the Indian Cricket Board recounts the awarding of hosting rights for the 1987 World Cup in his book The Story of the Reliance Cup. According to Salve, he was given two tickets for the 1983 World Cup final at Lord's. When India unexpectedly qualified for the final, he requested two additional tickets from the MCC for friends who had just arrived from India. The MCC refused his request. Following this rebuff, Salve campaigned heavily amongst associate members of the International Cricket Council to form a bloc of voters, who ultimately awarded the hosting of the 1987 World Cup jointly to India and Pakistan.

Strictly come Sreesanth

India Cricket Match - Test ODI News - Indian Cricket News & Photos Latest Cricket News

It is not surprising to see fast bowler Sri Sreesanth break into a jig of delight
each time he takes a wicket.

As a former national break dance champion, he is the Darren Gough of the Indian team.

The 22-year-old was first called into the Indian squad for the one-day series against Sri Lanka last October.

He kept his place for the recent tour to Pakistan and although six wickets in five games at a cost of 48 each was nothing special, the selectors saw enough to promote him to the Test side to face England in Nagpur.

Sreesanth has the nickname 'Prince of Hat-tricks' because of his exploits at club and first-class level.

A hat-trick against England might be too much to hope for in his first Test series.

But he certainly made their batsmen note his name in Nagpur where he bowled at a lively pace and troubled them with his ability to swing the ball and obtain movement off the seam.
