Current Matches : Series Off Topic

Author: MalhotraRaj84Subject: Series Off TopicPosted: 31 August 2011 at 8:19pmOriginally posted by MalhotraRaj84Even if what you said turns out true and situation is as bad as you think, Isn't it still fine?. India have won so much, won World Cup, been at top spot for good amount of time, acheived things which none expected them when they toured overseas and infact have played some very good consistent cricket in last 10 years. Give them a break, what goes up has to come down for some time.  Just chill mate and meanwhile enjoy T20 World Champs vs ODI World Champs tonight . Originally posted by mysteryVery funny Raj Australia won 3 World Cups in a row and were on top for atleast 10-11 years still they never said things like that and after just winning once you trying to say like India are winning for 1000 years. One thing i would say you have lost it mate first you try to say India are still the best and when you cant proof it now saying they won too much thats the reason please mate accept things. First of all I hardly respond to your quotes , this time you are lucky.You get some response from me. Ok, Observe the things in BOLD I said even if that happens , then as a true fan, even in some bad patch we need to have some patience.Secondly I have clearly said 10 years, you exaggerate to 1000 years. Then I really don't understand what you want to say by mixing strange words like " you lost it" , " you can't proof","reason","accept it". Sorry I won't respond to those.Edited by MalhotraRaj84 - Today at 8:23pm

Cricket Fun & Games : Cricket Tipping Game

Author: Stacey BolewareSubject: Cricket Tipping GamePosted: 29 August 2011 at 6:29amMuch like the predicting threads (which was originally my idea) cross a footy tipping line-upYou probably have this for the soccer outside of Australia but I'll explain it anywayAt the start of each week I'll post the next 7 matches to be played internationally (ODI and TEST), and you must post or PM (I'll decide) me your answers.Unlike the predicting thread it will not be as complicated as that so all I need this time round is the winner and that is it. There will be a ladder of who's in the lead after each match with the winner to be chosen after a certain number of matches So who's in: I'd like quite a few people

Off-Topic Forum : APOLLO : one giant hoax Yes/No

Author: flipperSubject: APOLLO : one giant hoax Yes/NoPosted: 26 August 2011 at 6:21pmAPOLLO : one giant hoax At the present time, nowhere on Earth does there exist, nor is there any prospect in the foreseeable future of there being, the technology to put men on the moon and bring them back safely. When NASA realised that President Kennedy’s 1961 call, for a man on the moon and back alive before the end of the decade, was totally impossible, they decided, rather than lose face, to hoax the whole thing. With $40 billion â€" at 1961 rates â€" available, the scope for deception was endless. The major problem was the impossibility of overcoming the cosmic radiation threat within and beyond the Earth’s Van Allen Belts and on the moon’s surface. At least 5 feet of lead would be needed in all directions to protect the voyagers : for one man, in a telephone kiosk, this would involve a thousand tons of lead. 35-plus years later, the unprotected Apollo travellers, all of whom would have been fried, have shown no signs of radiation sickness. Another problem was the inability of NASA to produce a stable craft which was intended to be the lunar landing module. “Lunar astronaut”, Neil Amstrong, almost lost his life when one of the prototype flying-bedstead LMs crashed and disintegrated. The problems were never even close to being solved. The highly secret Area 51, in the Nevada Desert, is believed to be the location for the film studios â€" still visible from satellite photographs â€" which produced the television programmes â€" “live from the Moon”, whilst the astronauts merely sat out their time 200 miles above the Earth’s surface. The official NASA record of the six Apollo excursions is so full of basic mistakes that various observers believe that some NASA personnel, very unhappy at being forced to be part of the hoax, deliberately left what would become obvious flaws in the record. The American flag flapping in the atmosphere-free, windless conditions ; the school-boy-level fake “moon photographs” and their difference from the live (film studio) transmissions ; the miracle of the standard Kodak film which withstood the X-rays and the extremes of heat and cold - 250 to minus-250 degrees ; the chest-mounted cameras which, without a viewfinder, produced hundreds of clear, well-framed photographs ; the multiple light sources ; the clear, uninterrupted voices of the astronauts as they sat above 10,000 lb-thrust, 140-decibel rockets ; the lack of any crater beneath the LMs; the lack of any exhaust smoke from the LM rockets (as it was pulled upwards, Thunderbird-style, by puppet strings in the studio) ; the lack of any stars in the lunar sky ; … and so on. The impression that the men and vehicles were moving in a less dense gravity was created by simply slowing down the film to half-speed. One of the “whistle-blowers”, Bill Kaysing, former analyst and engineer with Rocketdyne, the Apollo rocket designers estimated that “.. there were 85 completely separate manoeuvres involved in a lunar landing. Statisticians have calculated that the chances of completing this set of manoeuvres six times, without a single failure, were totally beyond the realms of possibility”. Kaysing also reckoned that the chances of a successful, manned return trip to the moon were .0017%. Other informants have not been so lucky. The outstanding critic of America’s chances of lunar success, Gus Grissom was one of ten astronauts who had “freak fatal accidents” between 1964 & 67. Apollo 1 safety inspector, Thomas Baron, produced a 500-page report. He stated that “The Apollo 1 programme was in such disarray that America would never make it to the moon.” One week later Baron and his family were killed in a road crash : the report disappeared. Although the Americans recruited over 120 Nazi space scientists for their use, the Apollo scam is well beyond anything in the Joseph Goebbels Manual of Public Relations. Channels 4 and 5 TV have broadcast programmes exposing the fraud, but the Establishment media, led by -who else?- the BBC, have taken every opportunity to reinforce the hoax, with very good reason. If it were generally accepted that The Scientists have told us a pack of lies on “Man’s Greatest Achievement” - and they have - even the most trusting of punter is likely to ask on what else would they deceive us : answer - everything.

Current Matches : Pakistan in Zimbabwe (2011)

Author: sam_ahmedSubject: Pakistan in Zimbabwe (2011)Posted: 19 August 2011 at 6:42pmThe Green Machine returns to action after a long break and good news coming in that Shoaib Malik has been cleared by the integrity committee and is eligible for selection in Pakistan national team. Rumours are that Malik might soon be given the captaincy once Misbah decides to retire. Malik though, at the moment, is not a part of the team touring Zimbabwe.PAK have selected quite a few young faces for this series though, botn Umer Gul and Wahab Riaz have been rested (quite strangely because PAK haven't been playing since 3 months) Sohail Tanvir comes back and Aijaz Cheema gets his first chance at int'l level. Young opener Rameez Raja has also been given an opportunity to shine (and I hope he is different from the old Rameez Raja, one of the most boring players I have ever seen). As ZIM have shown against BAN, they are no push overs and against an inexperienced PAK team they would be looking for a big upset.List of FixturesSun Aug 28 - Mon Aug 2908:00 GMT | 10:00 local13:30 IST Zimbabwe XI v PakistanisQueens Sports Club, Bulawayo   Thu Sep 1 - Mon Sep 508:00 GMT | 10:00 local13:30 IST Only Test - Zimbabwe v PakistanQueens Sports Club, Bulawayo Thu Sep 807:30 GMT | 09:30 local13:00 IST 1st ODI - Zimbabwe v PakistanQueens Sports Club, Bulawayo Sun Sep 1107:30 GMT | 09:30 local13:00 IST 2nd ODI - Zimbabwe v PakistanHarare Sports Club Wed Sep 1407:30 GMT | 09:30 local13:00 IST 3rd ODI - Zimbabwe v PakistanHarare Sports Club Fri Sep 1612:00 GMT | 14:00 local17:30 IST 1st T20 - Zimbabwe v PakistanHarare Sports Club Sun Sep 1812:00 GMT | 14:00 local17:30 IST 2nd T20 - Zimbabwe v PakistanHarare Sports Club

General Cricket Talk : cricket cv's???

Author: pomstheoneSubject: cricket cv's???Posted: 15 August 2011 at 8:11pmhi guys just want to start a thread about what sorts of standard of cricket everyone on here plays and how you all managed to get to play thats standard etc.  i personally play club cricket as a semi pro for a premier league club and i also play county second eleven cricket. i have been lucky enough to play alot of county cricket and feel that having a strong cricket cv is a massive advantage! i basically drafted up a cv and registered with a company called www.cricketcv.webs.comonce my cv was registered they distribute it to every single county and minor county and then i waited for the replies. i had trials literally within 2 weeks and it all started from there. just wondering whether anyone else has had experience with this company or cv's?? please discuss
