Chennai Colonel Shewag - Nazafgagh raja

Sehwag proved yet again that he is made of steel and when he fires nothing(no body) can stop him. He has come from down under and fired like man possessed, scoring 300 itself is a big achievement (that too second time) but its even more credibile than he scored it @ stike rate of over 100%.
He has gone into the record books by becoming only the third played who has scored 2 tripple centuries. I am eagerly waiting for the 4 days play to see if he can go on to convert this into a 400+, its not going to be easy as new ball is due and he would be tire, my mind says 50:50 but my heart says 100% - lets wait and watch.

It is remarkable that,of the 14 centuries he has converted 9 into big once. How is it that he is able to convet while others can't? I feel its because of his agressive batting style, and if you analyze Lara and Don Bradman too were agressive players - there seems to be some pattern.
Wish Shewag all the luck and hope he becomes the first Indian to score 400 in an innings.

TATA rules UK

With the acquisition of JLR, TATA has once again proved to the world that it is a group to watch out for and same time made all Indians proud. In the past 3 yrs TATA has really taken India globally and has shown the world that we cannot be ignored, and the future is east...

I found this article interesting http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/Tatas_acquisition_of_JLR_A_collectors_item_or_a_business_deal/articleshow/2902703.cms
while a lot`of people are worried about the money TATA needs to borrow and that their eps will lower in the next couple of years. http://www.business-standard.com/common/news_article.php?leftnm=lmnu6&subLeft=1&autono=318153&tab=r
In my opinion its a great buy, not because its an Indian company or TATA, because i see great synergy and either side can benefit from this. TATA can get access to technology and to the dealer network and JLR can benefit from the TATA experience of sourcing from India.
