Would have traded 175-run knock for Indian win: Sachin Tendulkar

Senior batsman Sachin Tendulkar says he would have "gladly traded" his knock of 175 against Australia in 2009 for an Indian victory even though he "certainly" rates it as one of the very best in his glorious ODI career. Chasing 351 runs in the fifth of the seven-match ODI series at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, Tendulkar fell awfully close to pulling off an unlikely win with an incredible innings.
"It was certainly one of my best innings, but I would have gladly traded those 175 runs for a victory," Tendulkar said about the match which India lost by three runs. He scored those runs off 141 balls and smashed 19 fours and four sixes. Tendulkar completed 17,000 runs in ODIs during the course of that innings.
"It was one of those days when nothing seemed to be out of place. I was able to execute my strokes well. Our middle order failed, but Suresh Raina batted fluently. We had a good partnership of 137. Suresh was caught behind at 299 in the 43rd over. Harbhajan Singh fell soon after, to make it 300 for 6, but I believed we were very much in control. It was a question of hanging in there, running well and ensuring that bad balls were dealt with harshly," he said.

Afzal Guru hanged 11 yrs after Parliament attack

More than 11 years after the attack on Parliament, the key conspirator in the case, Afzal Guru, was hanged to death at 8 am on Saturday, six days after his mercy plea was rejected on February 3 by President Pranab Mukherjee. His body was buried inside the Tihar Jail with full religious rites due to security reasons and not handed over to his family in Kashmir. Following the execution of Afzal Guru, curfew was clamped in the Kashmir Valley and cable TV services were cut off, even as there were stray protests in Sopore and Baramulla. Reacting to the development, the separatists insisted that the Parliament attack convict did not get a fair trial. To further control the situation, separatists Mirwaiz Umer Farooq and Syed Ali Shah Geelani were placed under house arrest in Delhi while SAR Geelani, who was acquitted in the case, was taken into preventive custody.

The New BlackBerry Z10 to be launch in February in India

Research in Motion Ltd must chart a tough course in its two key emerging markets of India and Indonesia: quickly launch cheaper handsets to woo lower-end subscribers while restoring its tattered brand among the countries' status-conscious. The company, which is rebranding itself BlackBerry after its best-known smartphone, has won millions of followers in these two Asian countries, mostly by selling cheaper handsets and offering service packages as low as $2 a month. So it's unlikely that the Z10 model introduced last week, which operators in India expect to sell for around $750, will appeal to the users it must reach if it is to build market share.
