| Posted: 29 Nov 2013 02:23 AM PST Cricket is a game of uncertainties. Even the very best can fall from grace without them knowing the reason behind the debacle. For experts, cricket is all about getting to the pitch of the ball and playing it on its merit. However, even the most small things matter when you are playing at the national and the international level. Every budding batsman aspires to be like Tendulkar one day. But, to reach the same heights as him; it requires relentless hardwork, perfect practice and nerves of steel. You must get every basic right in your game. Once you have the 22-yards in front of you, face googlies and bouncers coming from the best fingers in the world. These tips for budding Tendulkars will surely help them to understand the game in a precise manner. 6. Hand-eye coordination:One of the first things you learn from your batting coach is about getting your hand-eye coordination in order. It's important to track a ball at some length (much better if you can read the cherry coming out of bowler's hand) and position for a shot accordingly. There are numerous names in cricketing history, especially those coming from the sub-continent, who could hit brilliant cover drives without even moving a foot. However, it doesn't mean cutting down on your footwork. Without his expertise in the hand-eye coordination, great batsman like Tendulkar wouldn't have reached this far.
5. No shot away from the body:It's always tempting to hit a rising delivery pitched outside the off stump through the covers. However, it can easily become a cause for your dismissal too. Most captains set up a field without covers and ask their bowlers to pitch in the corridor so as to entice a batsman in playing wrong shot, edging the one to the slips. The habit of playing away from the body may work out for the most in the sub-continent tracks where pitches lack bounce. But, on a pitch as bouncy as the one at Perth, the times can get challenging for you.
4. Play with spin:One of Tendulkar's greatests strengths lies in playing against spin bowlers. He played with a still head, coming on the top of the ball and driving through the line. He rarely played against the spin especially when playing against the likes of spin wizards such as Muralitharan and Warne. With the advent of twenty-twenty cricket, youngsters are taking to playing against the spin to score against every ball, thus denting their batting technique.
3. A Straight Bat:Avid followers of Sachin would know about his liking for straight bat shots. Not only him, but other batting maestros such as Sunil Gavaskar always presented a straight face of the bat to the approaching ball. A shot played with a straight bat is not only considered more secure, but rarely lets you miss time of delivery. A person, who bats with a bit higher back-lift, is always at an advantage. It also helps in coming on the ball with a lot more force. However, young batsmen, playing with a tennis ball develop wrong technique in their formative years and hit the ball with a vertical bat.
2. Avoid Slogging:Since, one day and twenty-twenty cricketing format took over the world cricket; many budding cricketers have lost the meaning of using right batting technique. When blind slogging can fetch fours and sixers, why should one bother about making the right contact with the ball? However, you must avoid slogging if want to enter the same league as the little master. It's a misconception that only slogging can earn your lofty sixes as it's all about picking the right ball and hitting it in the right direction.
1. Hardwork Has No Substitute:Ultimately, it's about working as hard as possible as hardwork has no substitute. You must practice all the shots in the book on a regular basis. A batsman should not look rusty when he arrives on the crease to bat. His aim should be to answer each ball from the bowler with a unique batting shot. It's not practice that makes man perfect, but 'perfect' practice is what makes one perfect.

| Top 10 Fight Scenes In Movie History Posted: 29 Nov 2013 02:14 AM PST None of us can contest that fight scenes constitute an integral part of movies. They pump more adrenaline and also fire up the pace of movies. It doesn’t even matter if it is a bare-fisted sequence, gun fight or duel with swords. A comprehensively picturized fight scene keeps the audience glued to the screen for their particular liking for whatever is uncivilized, including violence and fights. Here's a carefully chosen compilation: 10. Road House:The movie may not include craftily shot action sequences, but the hard feisty battle shots featured in the movie do manage to look the closest to reality. Patrick Swayze, the ever patient onscreen hero is at last seen emerging in an all new violent avatar. His savage lakeside throat ripping of his nemesis Jimmy is something that doesn't leave the conscious of the audience for long. 9. Story of Ricky:One of the least known movies of its times, 'Story of Ricky' certainly had one of the best action content ever. The particular scene where Riki-Oh makes his way through futuristic prison, guarded heavily by burly guards is second to none for its faultless picturization. 8. The Karate Kid:If any other action movie that can see the classic 'Rocky'eye-to-eye, it is undoubtedly 'The Karate Kid.' The rise of the underdog who wins the championship bout in a climatic showdown – this is what the movie's core theme was. The deciding fight for the ultimate winner, fought between Daniel's against Johnny made the most memorable moments of the movie. 7. Fight Club:The dramatic transformation of the character of Edward Norton in 'Fight Club' from a pale being to a dominating fist-fighter does keep the audience glued to the skin. The fight scene in the ring where Jack confronted Angle Face in a one sided match where everything gets covered in blood and before you get over one punch, another one blows right through his face. 6. Crouching Tiger, the Hidden Dragon:Chinese movies are widely acclaimed for their lightening quick fight scenes. One such wuxia film is 'Crouching Tiger, the Hidden Dragon.' Some of the fight scenes in the movie make you chew your finger nails in trepidation. The best known of the movie's action sequence is where Michelle Yeoh takes Zhang Ziyi one-on-one. It's worth noting that the actress, who looks trained and skilled in martial arts, had never had official training in martial arts before the movie was shot.
5. Raging Bull:Martin Scorsese's dream project that featured the genius Robert De Niro had many fight scenes. Many of them still have no equals. Termed as one of the greatest biopics in the world cinema history, Jake Lamotta's character of a boxer charmed one and all with his punching prowess. The particular scene depicting Lamotta's final match against Robinson (contested in the year 1951 in real life) went on to be become a classic fight sequence. 4. Police Story:If there's someone who can evince laughter from the deadliest fight scenes, it has to be Jackie Chan. The widely famed actor/director, in his movie 'Police Story' was simply unstoppable in a scene inside a mall where he single handedly beat the shit out of his opponents. His one-liners during the fighting sequence were worth lending an ear to. 3. The Raid: Redemption:The movie can be truly regarded as full-on action blockbuster that carried more action sequences than characters. However, the final showdown is the bloodiest. It involved Rama along with his long lost brother taking a fight against Mad Dog in an attention-grabbing two-on-one battle. 2. Kill Bill: Volume 1:If you wish to see a swift and overpowering duel, the scene picturized in Kill Bill (Volume 1) showcasing The bridge's old brawl with The Crazy 88 is the one to check out. The scene comprehensively punctuated by Uma Thurman. She is indeed graceful in her performance and carries inputs of slapstick comedy. 1. The Matrix:There is hardly a movie that matches the everlasting impact that 'The Matrix' had on its audience. Keanu Reeves in the final face-off battle with Hugo Weaving can be termed as the greatest fight sequence ever picturized in modern cinema. The fight sequence involved such variety of kung-fu tricks, which were usually absent in the Hollywood movies of the time. Additionally, the combination of CGI-enhanced super-powered-fighting with a classic touch of bullet-time-photography gave the action sequences a new look and feel.

| 7 Ways To Fit In With Unknowns At A Party Posted: 28 Nov 2013 10:35 PM PST Attending parties can be great fun. The experience of dining and drinking with your friends has no parallels. Also, parties act as a medium of finding your long lost friends and gelling up the bond once again. However, there may be times when you land up in an alien party, knowing no one. These times can be challenging, especially for someone who is an introvert. If you are willing to try, here are ways to cope with such situations. 7. Arrive early:The best way to plan your survival in a party where every second person is unknown to you is through arriving early at the party. On arriving early, you end up graduating more as an organizer than participant. As people begin arriving on the scene with time, you can receive them at the entrance, probably acting more as a host than a guest. This will help you in getting noticed by the others and people will approach you themselves.
6. Finding your types:There is every possibility that many others similar to you are part of the party. Maybe, they are also seeking some companionship to make merry. You must keep your eyes and ears open and approach them soon, before they return back to their cars.
5. Lend a helping hand:It becomes difficult at times to locate drinks or snacks in a crowded gathering. If you arrive on the scene well before time, you can acquire better knowledge about the scheme of things. Your help in locating the bar or eating zone can win you many friends. In fact, people will appreciate your gesture and introduce you to their companions too. But, you must not be too forceful in advising them about the kind of whisky or vodka they should take a shot at. This way, you can be more of a liability than help.
4. Approach others:Approaching strangers can be a tough nut to crack, especially when you are dealing with people high on booze and low on consciousness. But, picking up the right moments and getting familiar with the people is the most important thing in such an hour. Introduce yourself gently and exchange pleasantries. But, you must not sound too aggressive or desperate for company – akin to a person dying to make friends on a lonely desert.
3. Dance to the party tune:Parties, especially late night bashes thrown by youngsters get more crowded as the clock ticks on. There are more people on the dance floor and even more around the bar counter. And, if you are someone accosting your good friend to the party where you are barely acquainted with anyone, time can get tough on you. But, the best way to enter the mood of the party is by landing on the dance floor and tapping your feet to the latest music scores. What can really help you grove is two tequila shots – of course if you are willing.
2. Talk what everyone else is talking:The best way to befriend unknowns at a party is by engaging in some talks which interest all. For instance, if there's a bunch of guys around, the best conversation you can have with them is on sports. Undoubtedly, people will take up to the conversation easily if the topics are to their interest. So, the next time you get stuck up in a conversation; introduce a relevant topic to charge up the dull atmosphere.
1. Booze is the way:Booze is the right way to go about gelling with the right people (sometimes wrong too). Not only does it help you to relive your inhibitions, but it can also transcends your introvert nature into that of an extrovert's, within a matter of few vodka gulps. Although, binge drinking can also set up the wrong track for you, it all depends on your social drinking habits. You should know the best way to hold your glass or your beer bottle while in a conversation. Maintain your sobriety, and if you're a non-drinker, impressing people with booze might just turn down everyone around.
