  1. Team India Anil Kumble announced his retirement after the third test against Australia, quitting the game at his favourite Ferozshah Kotla ground. The 38-year-old is test cricket's third-highest test wickettaker with 619 wickets, trailing only Srilankan spinner Muttiah Murlitharan and Australia's retired Shane Warne.Kumble had suffered a deep cut in his left little finger which needed 11 stiches during the match. The spin bowler has been the team's bowling talent for almost two decades, and the architect of India's dominance on slow pitches, relying more on subtle variation than sharp turn.He has also taken 337 wickets from 271 one-day internationals and has already quit the shorter form of the game. Wicketkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the limited-overs captain and Kumble's deputy, is expected to take over the job.Kumble, who has played 132 tests, had been facing mounting pressure over his future and missed the second test against the Aussies in Mohali due to a shoulder injury. In 1999, Kumble became only the second bowler in test cricket to claim all 10 wickets in an innings, emulating England's Jim Laker at the same Ferozshah Kotla ground. Kumble's retirement comes after former skipper Saurav Ganguly announced the current Australia test series would be his last.The team's senior cricketers have come under increasing pressure with domestic media engaged in frenzied debate whether they should step aside to help blood younger players.

  3. I want to know what .me domains are and where you can register them
  4. Alertpay is another that is fast growing into online payment domain. Site https://www.alertpay.com/
  5. I am surprised to see Alertpay is not in the list. A far as Alertpay is concerned, I have great hope and expectations all fulfilled by Alertpay. Its easy safe and smooth. I do have an paypal account but do not use it because alertpay proved more promising. Paypal however is a great complement when it comes to EBay. The tieup and integration is seamless, giving you almost every facility that you would need. I have personal experience with both and found the Alert Pay much better than pay pal as far as the Coverage and payment solutions are concerned . There is also an other payment processors which is epay.vg a fast growing online payment service . please observe and reply which is the best for small business owners . AlertPay is much better. paypal has a history for freezing accounts and stuff. I would only use paypal to accepts some small change for some small business, I wouldnt rely on Paypal with Big cash. I would rather with AlertPay. Many people are going through Paypal limitations and problems and are having their money held for 180 days. Paypal are criminals if you study their TOS because they are breaking U.S. law and avoid being sued because it costs over $8000 to bring them to court. If you don't believe me take a look at this thread which explains everything and involves attorneys and lawyers threatning to sue Paypal: http://paypalsucks.com/forums/showthread.pamp;old_block=0 With everything said paypal has the most members registered
  6. I have an account with paypal and was charged little under $2 for verification of membership. Now I am verified member, but am not using it because of payment related issues. I am from india and the $ to Rs conversion charge seems to be high.Instead I have shifted to Alertpay which is giving me no trouble at all. Everything is smooth. A few days back one of the top instant payout Paid to click site went on to seek donations just because paypal froze their account and 72% of their total money got blocked. without the fund it was impossible for them to pay instantly. It was like check bouncing due to insufficient fund. I made my donation through alertpay and was redeemed the money donetad by other business gift, worth much higher of course.Paypal however is very good if you are into ebay. paypal and ebay are one unit and transactions cannot be smoother than that.
  7. This post is excellent one as far as the basic info goes. I would like to know about the height vs weight ratio of people of Indian Subcontinent.PS: Please dont treat this post for hosting plan.
  8. Despite what media have hinted at, Samsung itself is spending a lot of money trying to convey, the Samsung Instinct is not an iPhone killer or Nokia beater. To be sure, Samsung Sprint borrowed liberally from the N Series playbook when it came to look and feel. But the comparison itself isn't fair: The N Series is a software platform that is growing every day, soon to have a host of applications that put it squarely in the smartphone category along with BlackBerry, Palm and Windows Mobile. The Samsung Instinct, for example, will never be mistaken for a smartphone. Then what is it? It's the best carrier-centric feature phone I've ever seen, a delight to use for many?though not all?of its intended purposes.Due to business decisions Apple and the Indian mobile operators have made, most Indians are still not faced with the choice to buy an iPhone or not. They have to pick the best "feature phone" that their carrier has to offer. That is, a phone that costs somewhere between Rs 7000 and Rs 20000, built first and foremost to make voice calls, then serve additional social purposes?messaging, photos, etc.?and, finally, offer data connectivity to the web but more importantly to e-mail.In this array of duties, there are some where the Samsung Instinct falls flat on its kiester, but there are an unusual number of ways in which this phone makes life easier. I'll start with them, then get to the grimmer stuff:Snappy interface, faviurates, email, web apps, photo viewer, gps navigation, voice command, touch typing, music player, video player, web browser, etc.Though many nokia mobiles have all or most of these features, I find Samsung better.
  9. Schools in India are not under such scanner yet. But the need is felt and the schools are self appointing Headmasters and Principals as head of Action Committee against any misconduct or incident. Schools in Kolkata, India under the state board of higher education have already made School Acts which bring under strict punishments for Drugs, Arms and Pornography.The recent phenomenon of free Internet in schools with free periods have made situations worse, with cries from parents, that schools are not monitoring the students during such classes. Eveteasing and sexual oriented misconduct is on the rise.The use of cellphones is now banned in 80% schools for students under 15 years of age.
