The game of tennis may seem very simple , easy and fun on t.v but in reality , it simply isn't so easy. One of the main reasons that make this game so attractive and interesting is that the players put their entire bodies on the line while they are on the court. Every player that gets out on the court is ready to give his 100% . Every player is in it to win it.

In this effort of defeating their opponents , players are ready to cross every limit and try every possible (legal) way of returning the ball to the other side of the court . It is this effort that leads to players playing innovative shots.
One of the most innovative and the toughest shots to play in tennis is "The Tweener".

At the beginning of this series one thought there was every possibility that England would lose this ODI series by a good margin. Even now the 5-0 prediction is still on.With a thumping six wicket victory the world champions are still on course for a complete clean-sweep against the side which was on the top of its game the whole summer.

In a half filled Wankhade Stadium , began the 4th ODI of the series. It took almost 3 overs before the first runs came up in the English scoreboard,. But after that Kieswetter (29 ) started taking his chances, with 4 boundaries and two massive sixes he started running riots . Just when he was starting to look dangerous he fell lbw to the first ball of a new over from seamer Praveen Kumar that kept a bit low.

South Africa vs Australia, 2nd ODI was a result of superb performance from Proteas. Australia was leading the series by 1-0.
South Africa won the toss and elected to bat first. South Africa's batting was quite enough to judge the match results. South Africa scored 303 runs in allotted 50 overs at the lost of 6 wickets.

A target of 304 runs was really big. But when you're playing against Aussies, it's not impossible. But after showing some excellent batting stuff, South Africa allowed Australia to score 223 runs only. Hence, South Africa won the match by 80 runs and leveled the 3-match series by 1-1.
Final match of the series will be played on Friday 28th october, 2011. Let's see, is South Africa going to show the home advantage by winning the series.

The new PCB chairman is bound to take oath from Monday. Muhammad Zaka Ashraf, the unknown outsider named by President Asif Ali Zardari to succeed outgoing PCB chief Ijaz Butt, confronts a great deal of issues. In particular, Lahore attacks due to which Pakistan lost the right to host international cricket. Then, there is spot fixing scandal, who's hearings are at their peak. And, what he does about the hirings on the posts that will be left open after his arrival. 

That 'll be interesting to see, how he'll be managing the positions. First is the post of COO, for which Zaheer Abbass is a strong contender, although Miandad, current DG is in the line as well but he is a man of such potential that he instead of doing any management job, should be with the players. We can easily judge that what role he has played being the DG of PCB.

South Africa Test squad:  Graeme Smith (capt), AB de Villiers (vice-capt), Hashim Amla, Mark Boucher (wk), JP Duminy, Paul Harris, Imran Tahir, Jacques Kallis, Morne Morkel, Vernon Philander, Ashwell Prince, Jacques Rudolph, Dale Steyn, Lonwabo Tsotsobe

The Squad is Gary Kirsten's first as the new South African Coach. In truth it pulled no surprises, and saw the welcome return of Jacques Rudolph. Who after 5 years in the International wilderness has earned a recall to the National Team, and assured of a place in the team as Graeme Smith's opening partner.

It must be said that his recall was way overdue, for he is a very talented batsman. Who is perfectly suited for the openers role


Aside from the welcome inclusion of Rudolph, the rest of the squad made me raise a few questions. Which are as follows


Can Graeme Smith Quiet The Boo Boys?

Aside from the controversial Referee in the South Africa versus Australia Rugby World Cup match.


It has to be queried, whether there is a more despised personality in South African sport at present than Graeme Smith.


Obviously he has been held accountable for yet another South African ODI World Cup failure, and then his lapse attitude in the recent ODI in no way helped in his popularity.
