Having asked to follow on by the South African skipper Graeme Smith, India after losing two quick wickets at the end of day three in their second innings are in a precarious position. India’s first innings with the bat wasn’t any good either. Their abysmal performance just goes to show how dismal they are without some of their key players. Apart from Virender Sehwag who notched up another quick fire century and Badrinath who scored a well made half century, no other batsmen contributed to the Indian total. This time with Sehwag and Gambir back in the pavilion without causing much damage, the onus is on the remaining batsmen. 2 days still remain and it’s highly unlikely that the inexperience of Murali Vijay, Badrinath and Saha will come to India’s rescue. Retaining the number one spot will be out of the question if this poor show continues. Sachin and Dhoni need to bat and they need to bat pretty well if they have any plans of drawing the test match.

Clash of the titans
The battle has begun. And it will be quite decisive because it will determine the number one side in Test Cricket. The home team are sitting pretty at the top of the test rankings with 124 points closely followed by the visiting side, the Proteas with 120 points. A couple of test matches will be played between these two teams and if the home team manages a draw from them, it’s more than enough to maintain the top spot. But if they lose, there could be a twist in the tale. Talking about the teams, South Africa with the likes of Graeme Smith, Jacques Kallis, and Dale Steyn to name a few, are relatively a much better side. Almost all their players are in fine nick and with batsmen friendly pitches like the one in Nagpur, the South African batsmen can make a mockery of the Indian bowling. India on the other hand are playing without Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman, and Yuvraj Singh. Their absence has created a void in the Indian middle order that’s hard to fill in. After a day and a half’s play, it looks like the pitch is a good one to bat on and the visitors have made good use of the batting conditions. The home team might have got the prized wicket of Kallis but Amla is still piling it on. With a couple of batsmen still to come, a mammoth total is definitely on the cards.

His holy mess
Children often are made to suffer for the sins their parents commit. Take the case of a Kanchipuram temple priest, Devanathan, who was arrested for seducing women devotees in the sanctum sanctorum, no less. Even as police were collecting evidence from the women who fell prey to the holy casanova’s lures, a private school decided to punish him by dismissing his two daughters. Devanathan’s lawyer says the family is tying to convince the school authorities to take the kids back.

Firefox’s latest version
While surfing the Internet yesterday, I stumbled upon Mozilla Firefox’s latest version (v 3.6) that is. This recent version which was released on the 21st of January, 2010 is comparatively faster and more responsive that the previous versions. And offering captivating themes and featured personas, it was tempting enough to make me download it. Well, what’s new in Firefox 3.6? This recent version, they say, is built on Mozilla’s Gecko 1.9.2 web rendering platform which has been under development since early 2009 and contains many improvements for web developers, add on developers and users. V 3.6 was quite impressive with all its features but when I realized that Check 4 Change (C4C) was not compatible with this beta version, I simply had to uninstall it and revert to the other version. Don’t know what other features are missing, hope they fix it soon!
