just gotta say that Tahir is really earning his money/reputation for our team, SA raped Netherlands like by 231 runs :D

He's really adding the missing dimension to the South African team and they're looking the team to beat at the moment. Probably a good thing they held him back and didn't play him in the last series with India. Now he's catching everyone by surprise.

That's old news.. the "fans" attacked the house of Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hassan this morning...

http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/world/8958501/bangladesh-captains-house-attacked-by-angry-fans/

On another note.. Shahid Afridi is in super form.. almost 15 wickets already :blink: Bowlers like him and Malinga are very dangerous coz they have usual style and variations..

Thats the sub-continent for you.. cricket is not a just sport in the sub-continent..

Watching Pak-Can replay now and 3 decisions were over turned.. I love the review system.. in the old days these three obvious lbws not being given would cause the balling team the game.. just wish FIFA/UEFA do something similar in football...

The idea is good, but if such a system were introduced, then I think a stop for review will impact the game in a very adverse way. The way I see it, football is a game of speed and technique constrained by time and a stop will disrupt the flow of the game.

Great match today. I hope Sri Lanka wins :D

I don't think having something like DRS in football would hold it up any more than stoppages for injuries and so on do. Considering what is in stake in a lot of modern professional football matches, I think it's inexcusable for teams to be potentially cost massive results because of human error, when the technology exists to make the right decision.

aus v india. i expect australia to lose on their form but one can hope otherwise.

India and Australia have the same problems IMO. Great batting lineups, weak bowling lineups, with the exception of Zaheer Khan for India, and Brett Lee for Australia. My prediction is for a very close game, I wouldn't even like to guess a potential winner.

Winners of which will play Pakistan.. great bowling and so-so batting.. what a great display by the Pakistani spinners today though.. (Y) Lets see what the batsmen do now.. a good team should get 113 runs without losing any more than 2 wickets...

The windies aren't that bad, they clearly under performed. I have a sad feeling our match with Sri Lanka will be a bit one sided unless we can finally pull together a good batting and bowling performance

I feel England are a very dangerous team coz of the way they got to the QF.. reminds me of how India won the WC or how Pakistan won in 1992.. no one even thought they could win.. they barley made it to semi final and then final..

If we put a good batting and bowling performance together in the same match, we can beat anyone. The only reason for our struggles so far is that we haven't managed to do that.

And it's fantastic to see Australian dominance of world cricket brought to an end, it's good for the game

Once Gilchrist, McGrath and Symonds etc retired we all knew this would happen..

But their batting is in great form.. as is Pakistan bowling.. Pakistan batting needs to be at its best if they want to win this one and the wicket keeper can afford to let those easy chances go coz Ross Taylor already showed what can happen if you give good players a second or third chance...

yup exactly..

all we need to do is to make sure our first 2 players stick on the pitch and make atleast 100 runs .. because if they get out in the first few overs we get under alot of pressure and the rest of the team just follows in line. On the other side Indian batting impresses me everytime. I am a big tendulkar fan!..

    • Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2

      By Copernic · Posted

      Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2 by Razvan Serea Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is a free and open-source video and audio player for Windows. MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project (which is no longer maintained) and contains many additional features and bug fixes. As the continuation of the original Media Player Classic, MPC-HC isn’t flashy but it works with nearly any media format. MPC-HC uses DXVA technology to pass decoding operations to your modern video card, enhancing your viewing experience. And MPC-HC supports both physical and software DVDs with menus, chapter navigation, and subtitles. Overview of features A lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about: Dark interface Menu > View > Dark Theme When using dark theme it is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons. Options > Advanced Video preview on the seekbar Options > Tweaks > Show preview on seek bar Adjust playback speed Menu > Play > Playback rate The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%): Options > Playback > Speed step Adjusting playback speed works best with the internal audio renderer. This also has automatic pitch correction. Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer MPC-HC can remember playback position, so you can resume from that point later Options > Player > History You can quickly seek through a video with Ctrl + Mouse Scrollwheel. You can jump to next/previous file in a folder by pressing PageUp/PageDown. You can perform automatic actions at end of file. For example to go to next file or close player. Options > Playback > After Playback (permanent setting) Menu > Play > After Playback (for current file only) A-B repeat - You can loop a segment of a video. Press [ and ] to set start and stop markers. You can rotate/flip/mirror/stretch/zoom the video Menu > View > Pan&Scan This is also easily done with hotkeys (see below). There are lots of keyboard hotkeys and mouse actions to control the player. They can be customized as well. Options > Player > Keys Tip: there is a search box above the table. You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites Put yt-dlp.exe or youtube-dl.exe in the MPC-HC installation folder. Then you can open website URLs in the player: Menu > File > Open File/URL You can even download those videos: Menu > File > Save a copy Tip: to be able to download in best quality with yt-dlp/youtube-dl, it is recommended to also put ffmpeg.exe in the MPC-HC folder. Several YDL configuration options are found here: Options > Advanced This includes an option to specify the location of the .exe in case you don't want to put it in MPC-HC folder. Play HDR video This requires using madVR or MPC Video Renderer. After installation these renderers can be selected here: Options > Playback > Output Ability to search for and download subtitles, either automatically or manually (press D): Options > Subtitles > Misc Besides all these (new) features, there have also been many bugfixes and internal improvements in the player in the past years that give better performance and stability. It also has updated internal codecs. Support was added for CUE sheets, WebVTT subtitles, etc. Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2 changelog: Updated LAV Filters to version 0.81-23-g6fadb Updated MPC Video Renderer to version 0.10.2.2540 Updated MediaInfo DLL to version 26.05 Updated MPC Audio Renderer Several crash fixes, bug fixes and small improvements.

      By Jolo · Posted

      No problems here using the new Outlook. In our company we started to default installing to users on new computers or when we're reimaging. But, if the user needs/ask for the classic one, we install it. Low reject rate at this point.

      Yeah it's my only home/business computer. The Surface Pen magnetic Storage is on the left side, but it doesn't charge the Pen. I do the charging once every 6+ months by interchanging between 2 rechargeable AAAA batteries and charging the other via a USB A battery charger.
