Pakistan in ICC T20 World Cup 2009


ICC T20 world cup is ready to getting start from 5th of June 2009, there is the group division is satisfactory, as per my thinking there four strongest teams to have chance to win the title. Australia, South Africa, India, Sri lanka, but the strongest team is Indian Squid, there are large numbers of T20 specialist players, like Sehwag, Goutam, Yousaf Pathan, Tandulkar, Youvraj, Rohait Sharma, Soraish Rana, Dhoni, Ishant Sharma, Harbhajan Singh, Irfan Pathan and RP Singh,
There is no doubt that the india will got again tha T20 Champion in 2009, like 2007, there are no match of superb squid if Indian team, and in the other hand if we take the squid of Pakistan the there is looking that lack of management and totaly favratision of coach and caption and some reliable refferance, Some players have no more space in T20 squaid like first of all captain younas khan, Salman Butt, There should be the PCB take some different decisions in the selectioon of T20 squid like there must be the mountain of runs Imran Nazir, model of creation Rana Naved, and the orignal cricket man Abdul Razzak, then there is no chance that in is the best in 2009 T20, but its a bad luck of pakistan taht pakistan again need only prayers coz they dont have sportmen skills, so we keep in our prayers that pakistan will win the world cup T20, 2009, best of luck pakistan.

Adidas ! Honestly the best

Adidas German sports goods manufacturer company and supplier, formed in 1924 by Adolf ‘Adi’ Dassler. Beginning as a manufacturer of sports / football boots and running shoes, Adidas developed into the world's second largest sports goods supplier (after Nike). It acquired its current name in 1948 when Adolf's brother, Rudolph, founded rivals sports goods company Puma. In 1989 the Dassler family withdrew from the management of that company, which then became a corporation.
In 2006 it acquired REEBOK International, another well-known and respected brand in the worldwide sporting goods industry. Adidas has sponsorship deals with many of the world's top athletes, clubs, and sporting events.
Football (soccer)

One of the main focuses of Adidas is football kit and associated equipment. Adidas also provides apparel and equipment for all teams in Major League Soccer. Adidas remain a major company in the supply of team kits for international football teams. Current examples include France, Germany, Greece, Romania, Argentina, Spain, Mexico, Japan and Nigeria.
Tennis
.
Adidas has sponsored tennis players and recently introduced a new line of tennis racquets. While the Feather is made for the "regular player", and the Response for the "club player", Adidas targets the "tournament player" with the 12.2 oz Barricade tour model, Adidas sponsors the following professional players: Marat Safin, Dinara Safina, Ana Ivanović, Novak Djokovic, Gilles Simon, Marcos Baghdatis , Adidas tennis apparel contains the Clima Cool technology found in other athletic jerseys and shoes.
Golf
.
In 1997, Adidas purchased TaylorMade, and made it a subsidiary. The image and focus of TaylorMade was redirected shortly after the acquisition to take over the driver market. The company succeeded in achieving this goal in late 2005 when it officially became the No. 1 driver in golf.
Cricket
.

In 2008, Adidas made their first big move into the cricket market, sponsoring English batting star Kevin Pietersen & Ian Bell. Their products are now available, notably the Pellara and Libro ranges.

Asin will next big shot of Bollywood

Spirited, spunky and beautiful Asin in the manner of Hema Malini, Rekha and Sridevi, is set to storm Hindi films with Ghajini opposite Aamir Khan after conquering Telugu and Tamil cinema. In Ghajini she is the hot sensation of Bollywood. Her pairing with Aamir in very much liked and appreciated in ‘Ghajini’. On looking at the sizzling chemistry that the two share, Ask her if she is set to become next big Bollywood’s diva from the South, and the actress giggles in embarrassment, “I’m a long way from getting anywhere near Hema, Rekha and Sridevi. But I feel hugely welcome in Mumbai. I don’t know why filmmakers are showing so much interest in me. She is the brand ambassador for six multi-national companies and the ads need to be shot in Mumbai. Now there are Hindi films too.”Fortunately, Asin speaks Hindi without that Southern twang that is even now so pronounced in Hema. “She’ve never used a dubbing artiste for any of her films, not even for the Hindi ads, and she is speaking in my own voice in my first Hindi film Ghajini,” She announced her second Hindi project with salman khan. She will play heroine in Salman Khan starring big budget movie London Dreams. The movie will be directed by Vipul Shah, the director of films like Aankhein and Namaste London. She announced her next venture according to sources, she is also tipped to play heroine of two more Bollywood movie and a Hollywood.

IPL 2 Cricket

If we compared the IPL 2 with last year IPL , then there is totally change, because first of all the venue is heart touching, peaceful, beautiful atmosphere, and the main thing is the teams performance slightly change, if we talk about IPL Dosra then At the time of writng, there are only two teams still undefeated in IPL 2, Delhi Daredevils and Deccan Chargers. And while it's still early days, and there are a lot of matches left to be played, I wouldn't be surprised if these two teams eventually clash in the final. Of the two, I think the Deccan Chargers is a stronger outfit. The Chargers, in contrast to Delhi, finished at the bottom of last year's IPL and weren't given much of a chance when IPL 2 kicked off. Ironically, they did poorly last year when they were expected to do well, but are now finally beginning to live up to their original reputation. They don't have two of their biggest stars, Andrew Symonds (who should become available after the Australia-Pakistan series ends) and Shahid Afridi, but aren't really missing them, thanks to the outstanding form of Adam Gilchrist, Herschelle Gibbs and Rohit Sharma.
