India beat Australia in 2nd T-20, first win of tour

Team India level the series 1-1

Indian young brigade to finally break their prolonged winless series by beating Australia by eight wickets in the second Twenty20. India level the series 1-1 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, on Friday. After restricting the Australians to 131 in 19.4 overs, riding on some brilliant fielding and disciplined bowling, the Indians reached the target with two balls to spare to record their first overseas win in seven months. Opener Gautam Gambhir (56 not out) led the Indian charge and with Virender Sehwag (23) provided the best start of the Australian tour, putting on 43 runs from 6.3 overs for the first wicket. Sehwag was brilliantly caught at short cover by Shaun Marsh off left-arm chinaman bowler Brad Hogg but not before hitting a monstrous six off left-arm spinner Xavier Doherty which went many rows deep at the long-on fence at the huge MCG stadium. But Gambhir was determined to see India through and made a well-constructed 56 off 60 balls with four fours. India's lone centurion in the Test series, Virat Kohli (31) gave him good company as India won without a hiccup by reaching 135 for two in 19.4 overs. Gambhir and Kohli put on 54 runs off 43 balls for the second wicket to seal the good work done earlier by the bowlers and fielders, who executed four run-outs during the Australian innings. Gambhir reached his half century in the 18th over off a misfield which allowed him three runs. He faced 54 balls and hit three fours to notch up his fifty. Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni (21 not out) strode in at number four and made sure India went past the finish line safely in front of 62,276-strong crowd at the MCG.

Earlier, the only good thing Australia did today was to win the toss and elect to bat before the Indians began to work through their innings with Praveen Kumar [ Images ] striking two blows in his second over, the third of the innings. The hosts found the going tough after electing to bat as Ravindra Jadeja [ Images ] effected two run-outs, while Rohit Sharma and Suresh Raina accounted for one each to underline the energy of the youth in the visitors' ranks. All five frontline bowlers, Praveen Kumar (2 for 21), Vinay Kumar (2 for 25), Jadeja (1 for 16), Rahul Sharma (2 for 29) and Ravichandran Ashwin (1 for 23) bowled well. Matthew Wade, hero of the first Twenty20 game, came to bat at number six, made 32 before being the third batsman to be run out for 32.

Aaron Finch (36 off 23 balls),  played a few strokes early on before being run out at a critical time

India bowled and fielded with enthusiasm and it all started after Praveen picked up two wickets in his second over. It was then the swiftness of Jadeja in the field that accounted for two wickets in quick succession. Right-hander David Hussey [ Images ] was in the centre of both the run-outs, one the folly of his own misjudgment. Unable to get off the strike, Hussey cut leg-spinner Rahul to point and called his partner Finch for a run. The ball was still not past Jadeja and importantly was on the side of his throwing left-arm. Jadeja swooped on the ball and threw in accurately to keeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni who did the rest. A little later, it was the turn of home captain George Bailey (3) to fall to Jadeja's brilliance. Hussey it was again who steered the ball to point and this time Bailey took off from the non-striker's end. With Hussey unwilling to respond to the call, there was no way Bailey could have made it back to the non-striker's crease.

Explosive opener David Warner (8) was the first wicket to fall when he heaved Praveen down to deep square leg where Gautam Gambhir, took a few steps back to accept a good catch.

Shaun Marsh (0), afforded a chance to help his confidence in this miserable summer, was once again a failure, steering his second ball from Praveen into the hands of lone slip Virender Sehwag.

It still was a fortuitous dismissal as Sehwag diving to his left, couldn't quite hold on to the ball but did the smart thing by flicking the ball in the air for Dhoni to complete the chance.

There was then a 33-run fifth wicket stand between David Hussey (24) and Wade which was broken once the former offered a return catch to the left-arm spinner Jadeja.

Young Mitchell Marsh (13) lifted his foot for Dhoni to effect a brilliant stumping off leg-spinner Rahul Sharma in the dying moments of the match.

Finally a misunderstanding between Wade and Brett Lee [ Images ] resulted in the former's run-out, beaten by a sharp throw from Rohit Sharma inside the circle.

The tail then subsided quickly, falling in a heap and fittingly capped by the final wicket again getting run out, this being the turn of Xavier Doherty (1) unable to make the second run.

Facebook sees India among key growth areas

Popular social network site Facebook, which hopes to raise at least $5 billion in one of the world's most widely anticipated IPOs, or initial public offerings of stock, is betting big on India and Brazil.
Outlining its growth strategy in a filing made online with the Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington, Facebook said it "continued to focus on growing its user base across all geographies, including relatively less-penetrated, large markets such as Brazil, Germany, India, Japan, Russia, and South Korea."
Noting that its active users had grown substantially in the past several years, it said: "We experienced growth across different geographies, with users in Brazil and India representing a key source of growth."

As of December 31, 2011, it had 845 million active users, an increase of 39 percent from the same date last year, including 161 million active users in the United States, an increase of 16 percent and 37 million active users in Brazil, an increase of 268 percent from the prior year.
"Additionally, we had 46 million MAUs in India as of December 31, 2011, an increase of 132 percent from the prior year," it said.

Facebook, which has one of its four regional support centres in Hyderabad, India, noted that it competed with other, largely regional, social networks that have strong positions in particular countries, including Cyworld in South Korea, Mixi in Japan, Orkut (owned by Google) in Brazil and India, and vKontakte in Russia.
"We intend to grow our user base by continuing our marketing and user acquisition efforts and enhancing our products, including mobile apps, in order to make Facebook more accessible and useful," Facebook said.
"There are more than two billion global Internet users, according to an industry source, and we aim to connect all of them" it said noting it had achieved varying levels of penetration within the population of Internet users in different countries with estimated penetration rates of about 20-30 percent in Brazil, Germany, and India.
"There is a huge need and a huge opportunity to get everyone in the world connected, to give everyone a voice and to help transform society for the future," said Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's CEO, in a letter that accompanied the filing.

Zuckerberg, now 27, famously started Facebook when he was a student at Harvard University in 2004.

India requires a sound start from its openers

India has to find that elusive spark of inspiration to end a nightmarish sequence of overseas setbacks. It needs a victory — in any format — like oxygen.The side's 31-run defeat in the first KFC Twenty20 International at Sydney's Olympic Stadium on Wednesday meant India had now lost eight Tests, three ODIs, and two Twenty20 games in its last 15 matches on foreign soil.

Virendra Shewag & Goutam Gamvir

                                    

During this period, an ODI ended in a no-result while another was a tie (both in England) but India failed to get the better of its opponent even once.Losing has become a dangerous habit. Belief — confidence is its off-shoot — has been a missing attribute in the Indian team.Indeed, confident sides win more and Australia, presently, oozes belief. Pushed to the wall, India has to fight back.

Brett Lee after dismissal of Shewag

Under the circumstances, the second Twenty20 International at the famous Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Friday assumes significance.If Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his men can level the series 1-1, they will enter the gruelling triangular ODI competition, where the versatile Sri Lanka is the third side, in a much better frame of mind. In troubled times, a win is a wonderful elixir.This has not been the best of phases for Dhoni. The skipper battled, put a price on his wicket on Wednesday, but the collapse of the top and middle-order meant his effort ended in vain.There is only so much a captain can do. When the batsmen do not put runs on the board, the bowlers fail to create pressure and the fielding fumbles — the different arms of a side have to move in harmony — a skipper is helpless.

2G: SC cancels 122 licences, Chidambaram gets breather

In a major development having implications for the corporate sector, theSupreme Court on Thursday cancelled the 122 2G spectrum licences granted by former telecom minister A Raja on the ground that they were issued in a "totally arbitrary and unconstitutional" manner.

Imposing a fine of Rs five crore each on three telecom companies, which offloaded their shares after getting the licenses, the court directed regulator Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) to make fresh recommendations on allocation of 2G licences. Asking the government to take steps on the recommendations of TRAI within a month, a bench comprising justices G S Singhvi and A K Ganguly said the allocation of spectrum will be done through the policy of auction within four months.

Australia beat India in T-20

Stung by a prolonged losing streak in what has turned out to be a nightmarish tour, a hapless India will now look to avoid a Twenty20 whitewash when they lock horns with Australia in the second match on Friday. Completely outclassed in the humiliating 0-4 Test loss against the hosts, India had hoped for redemption in the limited over format but they again succumbed to a 31-run defeat in the first Twenty20. The young legs did show some energy on the field but at the batting crease, they were no different to their Test seniors and skipperMahendra Singh Dhoni has to do something to inpsire his team on Friday. In the bowling department too, the Indians failed to make early inroads in the Australian line-up and now that off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin's card has been shown up to be blank by a rampant David Warner on Wednesday, Zaheer Khan's return would be crucial to India's chances. 

The wicket at the MCG also might not suit spinners on Friday so overtly as it did in the ANZ Stadium. It's a batting wicket and the skills of the bowlers would be tested utmost. Dhoni believed it was the uneven surface which did his batsmen in and MCG might reflect their preparedness in a better light.

As things stood though, Indians checked in at their hotel in Melbourne this morning and would stay indoors though there was a word that a few youngsters might visit the MCG later in the afternoon. It's better they do, for if Australia seizes an early momentum, they would be difficult to put down in the one-day internationals. The corresponding effect of despondency in Indian ranks would be palpable too.

Australia, on the other hand, have been simply ruthless so far as after mauling India in the Test series, the hosts notched up a convincing victory in Sydney and they would now look to complete a Twenty20 clean sweep against the visitors on Friday. Australia would only go better once Daniel Christian, Mitchell Marsh and Clint McKay get an opportunity to show their wares and chances are they would in front of 90,000 strong fans who are likely to turn up at the MCG, home of Australian cricket. Christian has been on the fringes of selection in the Test side this summer and is viewed as one of the upcoming stars of Australian cricket. He was the top scorer in domestic one-day matches and was also the second highest wicket-taker. A powerful hitter, Christian didn't get a chance to bat on Wednesday but picked up two for 35 with his fast deliveries.

Marsh, younger brother of Shaun, has set the domestic stage ablaze with his powerful hitting. Just 20, Marsh likes expressing his talent both with bat and ball and is one of the many multidimensional cricketers who are coming up through the ranks in Australian cricket. McKay, a 194cm tall right-arm fast bowler, is renowned for his control and economy. The 28-year-old local boy is said to possess enough variety in his armoury. The fast bowler is a handy lower order bat too and has already represented Australia in all three formats - Tests, ODIs and Twenty20 internationals. The variety and the options Australia has in bowling is equally befuddling. George Bailey, the home captain, said as much when he said he has quite a few bowlers who could bowl in the death overs.

"It could be Lee, Doherty, Hogg or Faulkner - anyone," said Bailey.

The hosts are well-served by explosive left-handed openers in David Warner and Matthew Wade and the two are likely to be top draw this whole summer.

Australia: George Bailey (capt), David Warner, Travis Birt, Daniel Christian, Xavier Doherty, James Faulkner, Aaron Finch, David Hussey, Brett Lee, Clint McKay, Mitchell Marsh, Shaun Marsh, Matthew Wade and Brad Hogg.

India: Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina, Parthiv Patel, Rahul Sharma, Zaheer Khan, Ravichandran Ashwin, Umesh Yadav, Praveen Kumar, Vinay Kumar, Irfan Pathan, Ravindra Jadeja and Manoj Tiwary. 

Umpires: Bruce Oxenford and Paul Reiffel

Match referee: Andy Pycroft.
