The International Cricket Council has proposed new rules for One-Day Internationals. Accordingly, substitutions will be allowed and there will be changes in field restrictions. A soccer-like substitution rule will be tried out, by which a replacement can be introduced at any stage of a one-day game. Apart from fielding, the player can also bat and bowl. In another experiment, to be introduced from next month, there will be field restrictions for the first ten overs and then for two other blocks of five, which will be decided by the fielding side captain. The ICC's cricket committee will be review the trial next year. What do you think of these innovations? Will they enliven the instant version of the game, which is tending to get predictable in the middle overs of an innings? Are they unnecessary?

What they said about the new rules ------------------------------------------- Fielding restrictions in one-day international games will increase from 15 to 20 overs during a 10-month trial period that could begin with the Australia versus England NatWest Challenge match on July 7. Various theories are circulating about the rationale for the ODI rule changes, with some seeing them as a television-driven plan to boost interest in 50-over cricket. Ricky Ponting and Michael Vaughan will face the challenge to select the suitable 12th man in next month's one-day internationals. Although Australian players have not yet grappled with the substitution changes, they are determined that they should have a major say in whether the changes are permanently absorbed into the limited-overs game when the experiment period ends next year. Adam Gilchrist has said he doesn't think Aussies have got a full grasp of it and it's going to be really intriguing for the spectators and the players as to how a captain manipulates those five-over blocks that will be really good. It will keep people really interested and it might bring the charm back that has slowly faded away. With new rules, the game will acquire new dimension -- mind game. Indian cricket team coach Greg Chappell has said it would be challenging for the players to come to grips with the new rules in ODI matches announced by the ICC. "It will be interesting to see; I am open minded about it. I think it's good that they keep reviewing the game and what happens with the game," Chappell said. "A lot of people for sometime have been saying that the game needed to be given a new life. It will be a challenge for all of us to come to grips with the new laws," he added. He further said that it has been tried out at domestic levels in various countries and it has worked well. It's another challenge. It will give ample opportunities for adopting different tactics and ideas. Former India captain and ICC Cricket Committee's chairman Sunil Gavaskar feels that the new ODI rules will make the game more interesting. The idea on giving blocks of overs to the fielding captains for fielding restrictions will make the game more interesting because there was a feeling that between the 16th to 40th overs the game was a little predictable. So, giving the fielding side the option of having two blocks of five overs each was made. New fielding restrictions will apply for the first 10 overs of every innings, plus two additional blocks of five overs which must be selected by the fielding captain "I don't know how different it will be, but the captains and teams will have to sit down and chalk out plans to introduce an element of surprise. Plenty of planning would be needed," Sachin Tendulkar said. "We (the teams) will have to play a couple of games (before gauging the exact impact of the changes)," said the batting maestro who is recuperating from an elbow surgery undergone late last month in London. Dean Jones, the former Australian batsman, pointed out that the new rules wouldn't affect the outcome too much. "The bottom line is, even with all the changes, the best teams will still win. The game has changed over the years, but the best team has kept winning. They should neutralise the effect of the toss or the pitch on the results of the matches. On a green pitch, put into bat, a side, at 40 for 4, might bring in an extra batsman, and score 230 instead of 180. This will also help reduce the 100-run or 10-wicket defeats. This might also give a new life to ageing players such as VVS Laxman and Anil Kumble." Former South African batsman Jonty Rhodes emphasised the difference that a substitute can make in the fielding department. Rhodes has said fielding is a key to ODIs, and so bringing on a good fielder can make a world of difference and it might also give a few younger players, who are good fielders but not yet ready as batsmen, a taste of ODI cricket. Virender Sehwag is of the view that the changes would benefit both the batsmen and the bowlers. "It sounds a bit complex but I am sure that the players will get used to it," Sehwag said. "On the face of it, the field restriction rule - increased from 15 to 20 overs - appears to be in the favour of the batsmen. But I feel it will help both the bowlers and the batsmen in some form or the other." Speaking about the substitution rule, Sehwag said, "It will definitely be plan-oriented. Captains will have to induct more game plan in order to make this rule a success. The captain will have to think about 12 players instead of 11." India's first one-day captain Ajit Wadekar wasn't pleased with the changes. "It's an unfortunate development as cricket must remain cricket, not become like soccer ... I foresee utter confusion when the experiments get underway," he said. "Moreover, the captains are going to be under more pressure. The ordinary players, too. I've never regarded the one-day game as being proper cricket. Still, I don't agree it had become predictable and, so, changes were needed. Yes, the performance of some teams did become predictable, but nothing more," he added. Former international umpire Dikie Bird has said bringing on a substitute would be okay if there was a serious injury to a player, but he doesn't think one should be brought on if someone is playing poorly. He also supports the fielding restrictions as it is. Coming down heavily on new ODI rules, he said that we were tinkering too much with things Courtesy - Indiatimes.com

With an ODI skipper now having the luxury of virtually playing with 12 players, though on-field players cannot exceed 11, the role of the substitute (12th man) gains gargantuan proportions. This also means that the skipper then can pack in seven specialist batsmen and five bowlers without worrying himself silly about all-rounders who can perform both functions. So is the golden era of all-rounders coming to an end? It seems likely. The team to benefit the most would be India. It has been said in the past that what separates India from greatness in the one-day game is the absence of a class all-rounder. Well, the selectors have stop worrying about that now. Who needs an all-rounder if Ganguly can pick up a specialist batsman or a bowler as the 12 the man who now gets to play? South African cricket coach Mickey Arthur believes the proposed changes to the ODI rules could result in more specialists stepping to the crease. Arthur said: "I think the changes will allow more specialists to step to the crease and you can gamble with them. "Depending on the opponents, you can either include a player who can hit massive shots or a bowler who can make an impact early in the innings. "If the gamble does not succeed, you replace the player. I think it is a step in the right direction. They also introduced the replacement rule in soccer and rugby and it helped to develop those sports," said Arthur. The new format will also mean that quasi all-rounders squeezing in to the team will now find it difficult to get a place. Especially for India, make-believe all-rounders like Yuvraj Singh and Dinesh Mongia will have to pull up their socks. They cannot command a place as players who make 30 odd with the bat and then chip in with a wicket or so. They will have to get into the team as specialist batsmen. On the introduction of substitutes, the new Indian coach Greg Chappell said it's something new to cricket. "It has been tried out at domestic levels in various countries and it has worked well. It's another challenge. It will give ample opportunities for adopting different tactics and ideas," the 56-year-old former Australian captain said. In fact batsmen like Mohammad Kaif, who are specialist batsmen stand to gain. They will definitely have an edge over player like Yuvraj but then again at the end of the day performances will count. The best part is that no player can take his place for granted even after being selected for the playing eleven. The pressure will also be to perform or he might get dropped during the course of the match! Even more interestingly, Ganguly might score a ton but replace himself while India is fielding because, India might now need a bowler who happens to be the 12th man! According to Dean Jones, the 12-man team should neutralise the effect of toss or the pitch on the results of the matches. On a green pitch, put into bat, a side, at 4/40, might bring in an extra batsman, and score 230 instead of 180. This will also help reduce the 100-run or 10-wicket defeats. "I don't think the on-ground spectators will find it too tough to understand what's going on. There will definitely be a signal. TV people will make sure that it doesn't stay alien to crowds for long. This might also give a new life to ageing players such as VVS Laxman and Anil Kumble. But the bottom line is, even with all the changes, the best teams will still win. The game has changed over the years, but the best team has kept winning." (AFP Photo) Courtesy - indiatimes.com

Does anybody know how to setup port forwarding in Linux. Please post if any one finds useful info. One of my friend wants useful info on this!!

PC Sync does work with USB cable. I have done it with both 2130 and 2030. Both of them with same cable.

It will surely make the game more unpredictable.. But surely will make more problems for bowlers as the fielding restriction will be for 20 overs!! We may soon see scores in excess of 400!!!

Most of the digicams can also record a few minutes of video too even though the quality will not be good!!!

A few of my friends also have LG 2330. They also have the same problem. They all say that the battery life of this model is very poor and they have to recharge every day!!!

Meet Anil Ambani, the HR manager When Anil Ambani entered the Reliance Infocomm headquarters at the sprawling Dhirubhai Ambani Knowledge City in Navi Mumbai for the first time in two years, he made his intention clear: he wants to be perceived as a people's manager. His six-hour-long visit on Sunday along with mother Kokilaben, wife Tina, sons Anmol and Anshul and sisters Dipti Kothari and Nina Salgaonkar, was thus solely reserved for what he called Reliance Infocommers. And he did it in great style in full media glare. Shankar, a housekeeper, for example, could not believe his luck when Ambani sat next to him when he was having lunch. The junior Ambani asked for a glass of water and enquired whether he was having any problems at Infocomm. Shankar forgot his lunch and said, "Pet bhar gaya sahab (I am feeling full)." Thousands of Infocommers were there to welcome Anil much before the S Class Mercedes Benz arrived. After a quick visit to the nearby temple, Ambani preferred to walk to I-Block, which houses the chairman's office, about 7 km away. Sporting an off-blue striped shirt and a brown tie, he shook hands with several hundreds of people. "I am going to break my previous record of handshakes today -- the first was made on my wedding day. Please help me in achieving the record though I will need a massage this evening," Anil said, profusely sweating in the humid weather. The loud cheer from Infocommers proved he has managed to touch their hearts. Just short of I-Block, Anil noticed a group of young women in a corner and did not waste the opportunity to offer some sound bytes: "I see a lot of young faces in the company but very few women. We will increase the number of women employees in the organisation, and will be an equal-opportunity-employer," he said. Mahesh Prasad, president (applications), was there to welcome him to the I Block. Anil shook his hands warmly, saying loudly, "Prasad is the Priyanka Chopra of Infocomm." Why Priyanka Chopra? "Well, she is one of my favourite actors," the CMD said, looking fondly at a visibly embarrassed Prasad. While getting introduced with the employees of I-Block, he played to perfection the role of a compassionate HR manager: "I apologise for calling you all on a Sunday. I look forward to working with you personally to make it one of the most valuable companies in the world," he said, adding "If any of you are interested in sports, come and join me for a walk next Monday." Later, addressing the Infocommers in a nation-wide webcast, Anil "saluted" them for their passion to work hard and complimented his elder brother and former chairman of the company, Mukesh Ambani, for his "outstanding contribution" to create the company. " I am truly grateful to him, " he added. Stressing on accountability as the core principle, he said: "In building and sustaining a great organisation, for me, accountability is the flip side of authority. The two are married to each other. Just as you are all accountable, I am accountable too". "We must be a company that is build around the wants and needs of customers. You cannot argue with customers... Customer Care is not just the responsibility of those who face the customers, but each and every one of us." Apart from growth and customer care, he also stressed on net addition of subscribers. "Gross adds per month are important, we must focus on net adds per month". He said the employees would be rewarded with performance-linked incentives, adding that "future is only limited by your imagination". Courtesy - rediff.com

LG 2130 and LG 2030 use the same data cable.. So a USB charging cable for 2030 should also work with 2130.. Do not have more experience on this as the cable i have is not of the charging type!!!
