Cricket World Cup Theme Song - De Ghumaa Ke

There will be a touch of Bollywood in next year's cricket World Cup in the sub-continent with the celebrated Indian musical trio of Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy composing the event's official theme song titled 'De Ghumaa Ke' with versions in Hindi, Bangla and Sinhalese.

All three versions will feature in the build-up to and during the tournament that will run from February 19 to April 2 in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

The three are one of the most popular and critically acclaimed music directors of Bollywood.

Some of their famous works includes scores for movies such as Dil Chahta Hai (2001), Kal Ho Naa Ho (2003), Bunty Aur Babli (2005), Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006), Don - The Chase Begins Again (2006), Taare Zameen Par (2007), Rock on!! (2008), Wake Up Sid (2009), My Name is Khan (2010) and Housefull (2010).

"De Ghumaa Ke" is a passionate expression that creatively captures the fierce sense of competition and the desire to win. It literally means Hit It Hard. This local cricket euphemism is every fan's wish and every cricketer's intention. It encapsulates all that it takes to win a match," the ICC said in a statement.

The song will be released on December 31 via various radio networks in India and also on ESPN STAR Sports, the ICC's global production and broadcast rights holder.

England retains Ashes with emphatic 4th Test win


England has retained the Ashes in emphatic fashion by completing an innings and 157—run win over Australia on Wednesday in the fourth Test.

England retained the Ashes for the first time on Australian soil since 1986—87. It travels to the final Test in Sydney starting Sunday with a 2—1 series lead, but as the Ashes-holder, England needs only to draw the series to keep the urn.

Tim Bresnan claimed the final wicket and his fourth of the innings when Ben Hilfenhaus was caught behind for a duck to dismiss Australia for 258. Last batsman Ryan Harris could not bat due to a foot injury.

Brad Haddin and Peter Siddle shared an 86—run eighth—innings partnership, but that only delayed the inevitable. Haddin ended the match on an unbeaten 55.

Australia’s loss looked inevitable from day one when it was dismissed for a paltry 98 in two rain—shortened sessions on the first day. A capitulation became inevitable early on the third day when England replied with a first—innings total of 513 for a massive 415—run lead.

Bresnan claimed the vital wickets of Shane Watson, Ricky Ponting and Michael Hussey after tea on Tuesday to become the architect of yet another poor Australian batting performance.

Bresnan, who replaced Steven Finn in England’s bowling attack for the fourth Test, ended the innings with figures of 4—50. Tremlett had 1—71, Anderson had 1—71 and Swan finished with 2—59.

Shane Watson provided Australia’s second highest score of the match with 54, while the England line-up featured knocks of 168 from Jonathan Trott, 85 from Matt Prior and 82 by Alastair Cook, proving the MCG wicket had plenty to offer the batsmen.

Siddle’s bowling provided the only highlight for the Australians, taking 6—75. Johnson, who took 9 wickets in Australia’s 267—run win at Perth in the third Test, was far less effective in Melbourne, conceding 134 runs for his two wickets.

Australia captain Ponting’s future has come under intense scrutiny in the light of the series loss, his failure with the bat, a finger injury and his unseemly remonstrations with the on—field umpires on Monday after having a reviewed decision ruled not out.

Start a YouTube Video at any Specific Time

Do you want to share the most interesting part of a YouTube video with your contacts without wasting their time?


YouTube URLs have long supported the “time” parameter that lets you link directly to any specific time of a video. For example, if you open the following YouTube URL in your browser, the video playback will start at the 1 minute 22 second mark and not from the beginning.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=tUIuTkjY#t=1m22s
What has changed then? Earlier you had to add the “t” parameter to YouTube URLs manually but now you may do that more easily using the contextual menu itself.

While watching a video on YouTube, just right click anywhere inside the video player and select the option that says “Copy Video URL at Current Time” – the copied URL will now include the “t” parameter pointing to the current location of the video.

This however won’t work with YouTube short URLs (like youtu.be/tUIuTkjY#t=1m22s) and, though you can specify any start time, there’s currently no way to end the YouTube video playback at a certain time.

Pathan leads India to five-wicket win over New Zealand in 4th ODI


Just a day after Gautam Gambhir said that Yusuf Pathan deserves more opportunities to express himself, the Baroda big-hitter lived up to the Indian skipper's faith.

Yusuf tided past a rain-interruption and made a mockery of an inflationary required-rate while his unbeaten 123 paved the way for India's five-wicket victory over New Zealand in the fourth One Day International of the five-match series at the Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Tuesday night.

Chasing New Zealand's 315 for seven in 50 overs, India finished with 321 for five in 48.5 overs to extend its series-lead to 4-0.

The pursuit was never easy after the law of averages caught up with Gambhir (27) and Virat Kohli. Briefly the Delhi-duo's dismissals seemed a minor aberration as Parthiv Patel (53) biffed around and Yuvraj Singh effortlessly hoisted Scott Styris.

Twin blow
India though suffered another twin-blow when Patel got ambitious and Yuvraj crunched a pull straight to short mid-wicket with Nathan McCullum being the grateful bowler.

Rohit Sharma, who replaced Murali Vijay in the eleven, then played with his customary elan and whetted his appetite with sixes off McCullum and New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori.

Rohit (44) slotted the higher gears while Yusuf (123 n.o., 96b, 7x4, 7x6) preferred the supporting role until he revealed his blistering self with a mighty strike against Vettori.

True to his past of frittering away brisk starts, Rohit scooped Tim Southee straight to Vettori and just as Yusuf and Saurabh Tiwary were settling down, the match was grounded under a wet curtain.

The rain-stoppage lasted an hour but once play resumed with no reduction in overs, Yusuf muscled Vettori over the ropes and struck a massive six off Kyle Mills.

During the batting Power Play from overs 39-43, Yusuf briefly remained tentative against the seamers before he kept the fans in the upper tiers interested with mighty blows against Mills in an over that went for 21 runs.

Tiwary chips in
The tide had turned and an Indian victory seemed as inevitable as Yusuf's maiden ODI hundred that was ushered in with a swat off Andy McKay. In the match-winning unbeaten sixth-wicket partnership of 133 runs, Tiwary too found his voice towards the end.

Earlier, James Franklin's unbeaten 98 (69b, 12x4, 3x6) added flourish to New Zealand's steady tenure at the crease after Gambhir opted to field under overcast skies. Franklin's personal best in limited overs cricket was etched with shots straight down the park and his deft wrists often worked the ball into the gaps.

Walking in at 170 for four in 29.4 overs with Ross Taylor for company, Franklin continued unhindered despite edging a four in the initial minutes against part-timer Rohit.

Taylor (44) cut out the risks and put his hoick past mid-wicket in cold-storage and shockingly for New Zealand, he was out first ball of the batting Power Play taken from the 38th over. In trying to flick Ashwin, Taylor missed the line and the final thrust firmly rested on Franklin and he readily complied.

Cutting loose

The southpaw cut Yusuf (three for 48), square drove Zaheer Khan and lofted Ashish Nehra. Franklin survived a scare on 47 when he spooned a leading-edge but a diving Yusuf faltered. He then nervously reached his fifty, second in ODIs, as he chipped one over a scampering Yusuf at short covers.

Franklin then cut loose with the high-point being the 21 runs he plundered in the final over bowled by Nehra with a stirring sequence of 6, 6, 4, 4 and 1 to help New Zealand dream about a much-awaited victory.

Before Franklin soared, the visitor's innings was blotted by batsmen, ranging from Brendon McCullum (42) to Styris (46), who flattered to deceive against an Indian attack that failed to impose pressure.

France & USA To ban Wikileaks from their servers.

Internet addresses written in Arabic were live on the Internet on Thursday

Earlier talk of giving President Obama the power to shut down the Internet has apparently happened. The U.S. based Internet domain registrar EveryDNS.net has denied Wikileaks the use of the domain .org, widely used by non-profit groups.

Anti-war.com said the domain was effectively shut down because the Wikileaks site had become the victim of attacks. If that is true it means that all that is necessary to do to remove an annoying Web site is to attack it.

Anti-war and others are continuing to provide updated lists of locations where the whistleblower can be found.

This is probably the biggest attack on the Internet since it became a worldwide business, leisure and household tool. Even China didn't try to shut down domains.

The U.S. isn't the only government to attack Wikileaks. France has said it will ban Wikileaks from its servers.

Given the determination of Wikileaks it seems likely they would result to graffiti on city buildings if necessary. The attacks also are drawing support from others for the group of cyberhackers who believe governments have been lying to their people for decades. Some would compare it to non-Jews wearing the Star of David during Nazi roundups.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation, a group that advocates for freedom of speech on the Internet, noted that the U.S. Constitution does bar "prior restraint," meaning any legal action against someone for publishing something offensive has to come after the act.

EFF noted that Amazon, one of the largest Internet businesses in the world, terminated Wikileaks' use of its servers after U.S. Sen. Joe LiebermanJoe Lieberman's office called them. Lieberman was the first major figure to urge that the U.S. administration be able to black out the Internet during a crisis.

The Obama Administration can argue that it was not involved in the U.S. registrar's decision.

35 Pakistani government websites hacked


At least 35 government websites in Pakistan were attacked Today by a group calling itself the "Army of Cyber India," said a report by the media.
Islamabad: At least 35 government websites in Pakistan were attacked Tuesday by a group calling itself the "Army of Cyber India," said a report by the media.

The government took steps to secure web sites hacked and most of them were restored by the afternoon, an official spokesman quoted by the online news agency.

Among the sites that were attacked was that of the National Accountability (NAB).

A message sent by the hackers - who claimed to have had access to the server hosting the websites of the government - read: "Hacked by Cyber Indian Army."

He was accompanied by a photograph of U.S. soldiers raising a flag on the Japanese island of Iwo Jima during World War II, but the flag of the United States became digitally on the national flag of India.

3rd ODI: Ton-up Gambhir wins India series


Skipper Gautam Gambhir cracked an unbeaten 126, his second century on the trot, to power India to a series-clinching nine-wicket victory over New Zealand in the third ODI here on Saturday.

The Delhi left-hander played a captain's knock that followed his match-winning unbeaten 138 in the second ODI in Jaipur on December 1 as India easily chased down the target of 225 in 39.3 overs to take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series.

Gambhir, who smashed 16 boundaries with his flicks and drives in the 117 balls he faced, put on 115 runs for the opening wicket with Murali Vijay who made a slow 30 in 50 balls before being run out.

The solid foundation laid by Gambhir, who notched up his ninth ODI hundred in 103 matches, with Vijay was carried forward by number three Virat Kohli, who continued his form from where he left in the previous two matches.

Kohli, who had scored a match-winning ton at Guwahati and a half century in Jaipur, remained unbeaten on 63 in 70 balls with six fours and two sixes. He also hit the winning runs, a six over long on.

The second wicket duo of Gambhir and Kohli put on 114 runs in 125 balls without being separated to help the home team score a comprehensive victory in front of a weekend, capacity crowd.

Today's win, India's ninth successive ODI victory over New Zealand, left the remaining two matches in the five-match series in Bangalore (December 7) and Chennai (December 10) just mere contests of academic interest.

The hosts won the opening match at Guwahati by 40 runs and then took a 2-0 lead with a thumping eight-wicket victory in the second ODI in Jaipur.

Chasing New Zealand's modest score, built around James Franklin's unbeaten 72, India were on the offensive from the first ball thanks to Gambhir who raced to his 50 in only 30 balls with nine fours and then got his next 50 in 58 balls with the help of four fours.

He struck left arm Andy McKay for three successive fours after having dispatched the other new ball bowler Kyle Mills for two in as many balls previously.

The manner in which the 29-year-old Delhi player batted blew away any hopes New Zealand might have nurtured to come back into the match after posting a modest score when conditions were slightly in favour of the bowlers.

Earlier in the morning, another left-hander, James Franklin, led New Zealand's revival with an unbeaten half century and helped the visitors recover from a poor start to post a fighting score.

The visitors made a disastrous start by losing their openers within the first five overs and were struggling at 106 for seven before Franklin (72 not out) and Nathan McCullum staged the recovery act with a stand of 94.

Left-handed Franklin batted sensibly after coming in at 49 for 4 in the 16th over even as continued to tumble from the the other end.

He top-scored for the Black Caps with the help of five fours and one six in 108 balls while McCullum made 43 in 53 balls with four fours.

Their eighth-wicket stand off 107 balls took the score to 200 after the Kiwis had lost half their side for 77.

Apart from the eighth wicket pair, only opener Martin Guptill (12) and Scott Styris (22) reached the double figures in a largely uninspiring display put up by the Kiwis after they were asked to bat first by the hosts.

For India, Zaheer Khan (2/31), Yusuf Pathan (2/37 and R Ashwin (2/49) shared six wickets among them while Munaf Patel chipped in with one scalp.

The pitch for the match was a major surprise at a venue that normally provides flat tracks. There was a lot of bounce for the pace bowlers and bounce and turn for the spinners.

New Zealand batsmen, having played on low bouncing tracks after coming to India in early November, were undone by the extra bounce.

Zaheer Khan utilized the bounce to the fullest extent in his splendid first spell of seven overs as he made early inroads into the Kiwi top order.

Coming off after a three-week lay-off, the left-arm paceman struck in the second legal ball of his first over when he prised out danger man Brendon McCullum, who also came into the series after missing the opening two ties because of a back problem.

McCullum was caught in second slip by Murali Vijay off a rising ball that moved away a shade.

Munaf bowled tightly to return with one for 28 while spinners Yusuf Pathan and Ashwin did their but in the middle overs to claim 2 for 27 and 2 for 49 respectively.

When India batted, Gambhir straightaway got into his groove by singling out Mills for special treatment.

Though Vijay crawled at the other end, the aggressive approach by his captain ensured that the hosts were never put under any pressure.

CBI website hacked by 'Pak Cyber Army'

In a major embarrassment, the website of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) was hacked on Friday night by programmers identifying themselves as "Pakistani Cyber Army".

The home page of the CBI website had a message from the 'Pakistani Cyber Army' warning the Indian Cyber Army not to attack their websites.

The CBI website, supposed to be one of the most secure websites, is connected to the command centre of world police organisation - Interpol - 24x7.

The message from the hackers also spoke about the filtering controls provided by the National Informatics Centre (NIC), a body which mans computer servers across the country. It also claims to have hacked another 270 websites.

Intelligence agencies have been often warning the government that proper cyber security was not being ensured in government offices and that no security audit was being carried out.

The website has still not been restored. In a late night statement, the investigating agency said, "CBI is aware that its official website has been hacked and defaced. An inquiry has been launched and necessary remedial measures are underway to restore it."

Speaking on the issue, Supreme Court advocate and cyber law expert Pavan Duggal said the hacking of CBI website is an act of cyber war. "I think this is not a mere hacking incident. It is a step towards a cyber war," he said.
