Graeme Smith may skip ODIs against OZs

According to South African coach Micky Arthur, Graeme Smith may not be available for the one day series in Australia which will start on January 16th. The South African captain has been facing a prolonged elbow injury and can be rested in the ODI series. Graeme Smith has been a major contributer in the South African Test win over the OZs. In his absence the team will be headed by, spinner Johan Botha. South Africa has recently registered a two to nil invincible lead in the test series held down under. The South African may also be rested for the third and final test starting Saturday. Graeme Smith who has been facing the injury for a long time now was only half a fit when he played in the first two test matches and was feeling extreme pain in his elbow.


Although South Africa has already won the series, the departure of the left handed opening batsman may serve as a threat for South Africa' ambitions of becoming the number one test team. South Africa will replace Australia as the top test team if they are able to win the third and final test in Sydney. The break can serve as a perfect opportunity for Smith, to prepare for the upcoming home series against Australia, which will kick start in February.

A 'bitter' new year's eve at The Gateway of India

Although not as popular as the Times Square in New York, the Gateway of India has been renowned as the new year's celebration point in India for the past so many years. The magnificent fireworks and the delightful crowd makes the new year's eve an evening to remember. The evening of 31st December 2009 was a bit different.

This can be considered as a disastrous 26/11 aftermath or the insecurity in the people after increasing tensions between India and its rival neighbor, the crowds seemed to be scattered and the charm of the evening went missing. The cops at the place were fully equipped to face any kind of mishap. The molestation incident that took place at the Gateway of India some time back could have been other reason for such tight security.


The scene at Juhu beach was no different. The vendors at the beach claimed that they had never seen such small crowds on new year's eve at the beach. For some time after 12 o clock, the place returned to its majestic best as the fire crackers and celebrations made everyone forget the tragedy for a while.
