australian selectors i think are picking the wrong, out of form players imo. martyn and bevan shouldnt be in the squad right now, no doubting the are great batsmen but they are just out of tune and i think the selectors should pick some new faces to play against zimbabwe in stead of waiting for them to hit some type of form

I agree. Picking younger players to go against Zimbabwe isnt much of a risk because they wont struggle too hard to beat them. Reminds me of Wayne Benett, how he cant bring himself to let go of some of the older players in NRL.

That was a great game where Lee saved Australia. India is getting much closer to being better than Australia.

why Bevan? He only plays 1-day, not test cricket.(:angry: w/ the ACB, yeah i still call it that, not CA) only martyn has to be dropped because he has had poor form in the test and one-day matches so far. bevan wants to play test cricket but will not be offered a chance by the ACB.

brett lee fluked that 6 in the 7th game against india yesterday. it went from 7 runs in 4 balls to 1 run from 2 balls to win. if he hadnt hit that 6 the ozzies woodnt hav stood a chance.

:o :angry: :no:

If it wouldn't have rained, India would have lost by alot more.

Once they resumed play, Ponting only got out because he was frustrated at the Indians for timewasting (waiting for more rain). Gilchrist was on a roll when rain stopped play. Australia were lucky at the end, but they deserved it. I don't think the rain worked in their favour.

no they woodnt hav. aus were 226/8.

india scored 295. so they woodnt hav been able to score 70 runs with those dumb@$$es batting if they had dun the full 50 overs.

the rain was to their advantage and if it hadnt rained and the full 50 overs had been played then india wood hav gotten the 2 wickets and definitely won.

sorry but thats reality i spose.

when i said their bowling attack is weak, i meant that arent experienced.

pathan is a very good bowler, prolly the next wasim akram but he lacks experience

kumble is a excellent experienced bowler but hasnt had his breakthro yet in the series

agarkar has come after an injury

zaheer khan is indias top bowler but hes injured

anyways they still have enuff to beat to australia which they have proved

p.s. i voted INDIA :D

i saw the aussie - zimbawe match. i cudnt believe how some of the zimbawen players stand when batting, their bat is up in the air (baseball style), their leaning backwards and play the shot at the last second. cant say anything abt their fielding tho. they are amazing at that.

india are gonna KILL it, as they are the best team around.

but wat about tday? :angry: [The didnt even use thier weapon- batting properly]

the same old story - "Tday was a bad day in the field"-Sachin

i think they should rest Agarkar for few matches as he gives runs more than he takes wicket.

    • Microsoft Weekly: OneDrive horror stories, ramblings about Start menu, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, delivering you a roundup of the most important Microsoft stories, including a bunch of odd stuff and bugs in Windows, OneDrive horror stories, ramblings about the Start menu, a couple of new Windows 11 preview builds, important news from AMD, and a lot more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. Microsoft released a new out-of-band update to fix boot issues on certain Surface devices. The company announced certain Windows 365 updates, such as VBS and HVCI support (by default) and app provisioning in Windows 365 instead of entire cloud PCs. Microsoft is also removing legacy drivers from Windows Update in a new "strategic move." This is the default Windows 365 wallpaper On the negative side, we have the latest Patch Tuesday updates breaking the DHCP Server in all Windows Server editions. Also, there is some bad news for PC users with Windows Hello cameras: after the April 2025 Patch Tuesday updates, Windows Hello does not work in the dark. The change was quietly introduced to address security issues. Windows Goodbye That is not all, though. As it turned out, solid-state drives from WD could still block your computer from installing Windows 11 version 24H2, which was released in October 2024. Also, Microsoft's Family Safety feature is now blocking Chrome, for some reason. Here is an editorial from Usama Jawad (welcome back) about how, four years after the initial release, Windows 11 still does not offer strong enough reasons to upgrade from the outgoing Windows 10. Also, Usama shared his thoughts about the Start menu and why he had stopped caring about its changes altogether. Speaking of the Start menu, check out our overview of what users wanted from Microsoft and what the company delivered in the redesigned Start menu, which was recently announced.

Some hidden stuff in the recent Windows 11 preview builds includes a new adaptive battery saver. This feature dynamically adapts battery saver mode according to your workflow, but in its current form, it is not fully operational. Even though Microsoft acknowledged its existence, the adaptive part still needs improvements. Another useful change in the recent builds is the return of a clock in the notification center. This time, however, Microsoft makes it more customizable, and you can toggle it on or off. Also, the company is moving more Control Panel bits to the Settings app and adding a rather unexpected customization feature that will let you select where system indicators (flyouts and sliders) appear on the screen.

    • I'm afraid not, Microsoft does release updated installation images for Windows through MVS every month, but they do not include any update to Defender's components or signatures. That's what the package talked about in the article is for, it includes a PowerShell script for the update.
