History of Ashes

The words on the original Ashes cup reads as follows :

When Ivo goes back with the urn, the urn;
Studds, Steel, Read and Tylecote return, return;
The welkin will ring loud,
The great crowd will feel proud,
Seeing Barlow and Bates with the urn, the urn;
And the rest coming home with the urn.

The beginning :

English people loved cricket. They found a rival in their own people down under - now called as Australians and started playing friendly matches.

That was the start of International test cricket as well. The year was 1877. But somewhere in between, English people missed the idea that if these cricket matches kept on going, someday they might lose as well.

That's what happened at the Oval on 29th August 1882 - the 9th test match between the two countries. Although it was just a 4 balls per over 2 day match, England team fell short by 7 runs and being the only test of the series - Australia not only won the match but the series as well.

"In affectionate remembrance of English cricket which died at The Oval, 29th August, 1882. Deeply lamented by a large circle of sorrowing friends and acquaintances. The body will be cremated and the Ashes taken to Australia." - wrote a London journalist, Reginald Shirley Brooks in a mock obituary (which means death notice). It was published by Sporting Times next day.

From that day onwards, these two countries play a test match series every 2 years. Whoever wins the series, wins the Ashes. If series is draw, Ashes remains with previous winner. 

Ashes Series

It's basically an urn (a vase of varying size and shape, usually having a footed base or pedestal) and can be seen in the cricket museum at Lord's. A red and a gold velvet bag - which were made specially for that urn and the scorecard of that 1882 test match reside along with it.

It's not known what that Ashes urn contains. Some say it has the ashes of the "bail" used in the 3rd test match when English team traveled to Australia to regain ashes after that Oval test loss. Some say it's burned ball... make your own guess..

Victory after follow-on 

Out of 1815 test matches as I write this, only three have seen teams coming back and winning after being forced to follow-on. Twice has been done by English team in Ashes series - at Sydney in 1894 and then at Leeds in 1981...

The 3rd and last miracle happened for Indian team at Kolkatta. Surprisingly, Australian team were always at receiving end.

Highest Totals 

Highest innings score by Australia in Ashes series is 729 for 6 declared at Lords in 1930, while their second best test innings total against England is 701 at Oval.

For England, Sir Leonard Hutton's 364 helped them reach 903 for 7 declared (the 2nd highest Innings score by any country) at the Oval, and the test victory by an innings and 578 runs - the biggest test win margin for any country against anyone. 

Lowest totalls 

Australians were bowled out for only 36 in 1902 whereas English team were polished by Turner and Ferris for 45 in a Sydney test in 1887.
The other two lowest innings scores in Ashes series is 42 & 44 by Australia and 52 & 53 for England.

War of Currents

      

 Nickola Tesla: The Genius who lit the world. Have you heard of Nickola Tesla? Surprisingly, many people still do not realize the impact his work has made on American society, and the whole world. You might be wondering, "What is the War of Currents and what does it have to do with Nickola Tesla?" Well picture this...

   Two mentalities come to a clash. One relies on the systematic proofs of trial and error. The other uses mathematical principles and theory to derive results. No booms or bangs of detonating cannons, or explosions of military camps are heard. Only the tension of conflicting beliefs, paired with the piercing buzz of electircal currents penotrating the air. The casualties? A few commoners in a freak electrical accident and some household pets. Not quite like an ordinary war? That's because it isn't. It is The War of Currents, led by the two genuises Thomas Edison and Nickola Tesla.

           In 1887, the sparks that ignited The War of Currents arose. It was a time when elctricity was lighting homes and streets all over America's cities. The energy was provided by Thomas Edison's direct current, usually referred to as DC. Edison's breakthrough was a turning point for life in America. At that point, electricity could be transmitted from its source to a light bulb ten feet away. Even more useful, power from one building would be shot down a wire to a neighboring building, sharing energy and the new luxury of light. The DC system, however, was far from perfect. DC moves only in one direction and has a constant voltage. This is a straight forward method for creating power, but the voltage tended to heat and often melt the copper wires through which it ran. This made DC transmission for distances over a mile dangerous, and sometimes impossible. Also, DC power cannot be changed by a transformer because of its unvarying voltage. Edison's solution was to merely create more wires to accomodate the needs of the city. This unfortunately caused New York to look more like a spider web rather than an industrialized city. In addition to the unattractive appearance DC imposed, hazardous effects arose as well. In the Great Blizzard of March 11-14, 1888, a total of four hundred people died. Many of those deaths were caused by an excess of collapsing DC wires that electrocuted those below. Clearly something had to be changed...          

Nickola Tesla was a man born in eastern Europe, in what is now called Croatia near the border of Bosnia. His revolutionary way of thinking presented somewhat of an opposition to Edison's DC system. Tesla invisioned a form of power called alternating current, also known as AC. He knew the faults of DC, and brainstormed a way to eliminate those problems, with an electric current of his own. AC's voltage, unlike DC, is not constant. While DC's voltage can be presented as a linear function with a constant value, AC voltage can be displayed as a sine wave. This is not as straight forward as Edison's system because one might think power is reduced when the voltage is in the negative phase of the sine wave. However, power does not rely solely on voltage; power = voltage x current. The current of AC also resembles a sine wave, being negative and positive at the same time the voltage is. So when the two negative values are multiplied, the power is still positive. Therefore, the same amount of power can be attained from the AC system, without keeping a constant high voltage that caused endless wire damage in the DC system. The most important advantage of the AC system is its ability to be modified by a transformer. With the AC system, the same line used to power a lamp can also used to power a motor. No more melting or excessive wires, no more distance restrcitions, no more DC. Tesla had outdone Edison, not by improving the DC system, but by creating a whole new electrical wonder of his own.
           
            And so the war began. It was said that Edison, well aware of his system becoming obsolete, would not accept AC because it wasn't his idea. He then launched an anti-AC campaign, describing DC as "a river flowing peacefully to the sea, while alternating current was like a torrent rushing violently over a precipice." With the help of Harold Brown, Edison would continue the battle for sales, and recognition. Brown assisted Edison's propaganda by electrocuting dogs and horses to demonstrate the "dangers" of the AC system. These string of electrocutions actually led the the development of the electric chair.
       


Tesla's only efforts in this battle were demonstrations of his efficient AC motors and transformable power. At the Chicago World's Fair in 1893, J.P. Morgan (General Electric Company) offered to power the first all-electric fair. GE was a company backing DC, and they asked for one million dollars to light the fair. This task would require massive amounts of copper wire, some for the motors, and others for the lights. Different wires had to be used because of DC's unchanging voltage. George Westinghouse was by this time, a believer and supporter of Tesla's AC system. He offered to light the fair for half the price. This was a practical offer because AC wouldn't require all the wire DC needed. So a point was won for AC and Tesla when Westinghouse was granted the contract for powering the fair.          

         GE's retaliation was to ban the use of Edison's lamps for Westinghouse. This was a small obstacle for Tesla and Westinghouse, as they once again paralyzed the public in awe at the Columbian Exposition later that same year. They were chosen over Edison's DC system to power the fairgrounds and win the appreciation of spectators and energy users of the country. It didn't take many more displays of superiority for AC to be renowned as the more efficient power source. Soon after, 80% of all electric devices in the U.S. were for alternating current. Finally, the AC system was recognized as the invention that would light the future.

Sachin's 200*

How does Sachin Tendulkar do it?

How does Sachin Tendulkar do it? How does a 36-year-old cricketer stay at the top of the game for 20 years? How does he retain this insatiable hunger for achievement after scoring more than 30,000 runs in the long (Test) and shorter (50 over) versions of the game?

Cricket fans are asking these questions again after Tendulkar created history by firing the first double century in one-day internationals.

It was an unbelievable innings of brutal finesse - he smacked 25 fours and three sixes and batted just 147 balls to score 200. He simply toyed with South Africa's formidable bowlers.

"Take a bow master!", "You little champion!", gasped the commentators as Tendulkar walked back to the pavilion and the crowds went delirious.

"If anybody is deserving of this feat, it is Tendulkar and nobody else," gushed another commentator, and then ran out of words.

You are indeed lost for words trying to explain the genius, elegance and sheer power of one of the greatest cricketers ever born, but more so after his breathtaking display at Gwalior on Wednesday.

I think the best tribute to Tendulkar's genius came from former cricketer and present day guru of cricket writing Peter Roebuck.

"Viv Richards could terrorise an attack with pitiless brutality, Lara could dissect bowlers with surgical and magical strokes, Tendulkar can take an attack apart with towering simplicity. From the start he had an uncanny way of executing his strokes perfectly. Tendulkar was born to bat," he once wrote.

Tendulkar is India's biggest icon and proudest possession - I remember the rising crescendo of noise when he walked up to receive an award in a stadium filled to the brim in Mumbai two years ago. There were other cricket and Bollywood stars being feted that evening. Nobody could match the reception that Tendulkar got.

If you want to know how difficult it has been for Tendulkar to become the greatest cricketer India has ever had, listen to Roebuck again:

"The runs, the majesty, the thrills, do not capture his achievement. Reflect upon his circumstances and then marvel at his feat. Here is a man obliged to put on disguises so that he can move around the streets, a fellow able to drive his cars only in the dead of night for fear of creating a commotion, a father forced to take his family to Iceland on holiday, a person whose entire adult life has been lived in the eye of a storm."

It has been an incredible journey for this magician of cricket. And he is still pulling off new tricks and hitting fresh milestones. How does he do it?

India vs southafrica-1st odi

India cling on for tense one-day win against South Africa

First one-day international, Jaipur: India 298-9 (50 overs) beat South Africa 297 (50 overs) by one run Steyn's superb 35 from 18 deliveries paved the way for a thrilling finish India survived a late batting onslaught from South Africa tail-enders Wayne Parnell and Dale Steyn to hold on for a tense one-run victory in Jaipur. Chasing a target of 299, the duo hit 65 from 38 balls to leave the tourists needing 10 from the final over. But Steyn (35) was bowled second ball by Praveen Kumar, while Wayne Parnell (49) was run out chasing three runs for victory off the final ball of the game. Suresh Raina's 58 was the highlight of India's 298-9 from 50 overs. The match looked destined to end in defeat for the tourists when stand-in captain Jacques Kallis was bowled for 89 in the 43rd over with the score at 225-8. But a belligerent ninth-wicket partnership between fast bowlers Steyn and Parnell changed the complexion of the match in six brutal overs at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. Steyn, in particular, punished a profligate Sreesanth, who finished with figures of 2-74 from nine overs, smashing three sixes, while partner Parnell batted with intelligence beyond his 20 years in his 47-ball knock. With his options rapidly depleting, India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni turned to Kumar in the final over and the recently recalled seamer duly delivered as he removed Steyn with a well-disguised slower ball before Parnell was run out from the last ball of the match. "Full credit to Wayne and Dale for taking us so close, but finally it did not happen. It's frustrating, yet we now need to regroup for the next match," said captain Jacques Kallis The result ensures that India, fresh from their dramatic innings and 58-run Test victory in Calcutta (Kolkata) earlier in the week are on course to stay above South Africa in the one-day rankings. However, the tourists can still leapfrog their opponents into second place if they win the next two matches in Gwalior and Ahmedabad. Despite the absence of key players Harbhajan and Yuvraj Singh, Gautam Gambhir and Zaheer Khan, India confirmed their abundant depth of talent just a year out from the World Cup on home soil. There were recalls for all-rounder Yusuf Pathan and batsman Dinesh Karthik along with Kumar, while South Africa brought i n big-hitting opener Loots Bosman for injured captain Graeme Smith, absent because of a fractured finger. Kallis won the toss and inserted India into bat - and was immediately rewarded with the key wicket of Sachin Tendulkar, run out in the second over for four. Karthik and Virender Sehwag instigated the recovery with a second-wicket partnership of 79, with Sehwag in particular in brutal form. The dynamic opener smashed six boundaries and two sixes from just 37 deliveries before he was run out for 46 backing up when Charl Langaveldt's right hand brushed a Karthik straight drive into the stumps at the non-striker's end. Karthik (44) departed soon after, while Mahendra Singh Dhoni's promising innings was cut short at 26 when he drove a caught to Albie Morkel at mid-off to leave the hosts 138-4. However, Raina, alongside Virat Kohli (31), injected impetus back into India's innings with a 66-run, fifth-wicket stand, while cameos from Jadeja (22) and Pathan (18) pushed the hosts to 298-9 from their 50 overs. Kallis was the pick of South Africa's bowlers, finishing with 3-29 from seven overs. An aggressive opening stand 58 from just 52 deliveries between the muscular Loots Bosman and Herschelle Gibbs gave the hosts the perfect start as new-ball pair Ashish Nehra and Kumar struggled to contain the free-flowing duo. Bosman's innings was curtailed when he bowled backing t o the leg-side attempting an overambitious cut shot to Kumar. Gibbs (27) departed soon after, leaving the imperious Kallis and AB de Villiers to maintain the tempo of the innings. De Villiers showed glimpses of genius in his 23-ball innings of 25 before he was comprehensively bowled attempting to cut a delivery too close to his stumps. And India regained momentum when Alviro Petersen (9) failed to ground his bat taking on Sreesanth's arm, with Morkel falling two overs later, lbw to Nehra. A rash slog from Kallis saw him fall 11 runs short of a century, but his departure paved the way for an awesome display of late-order pyrotechnics from Parnell and Steyn, setting the most thrilling one-day finish this year. "When there are so many runs needed and when the number nine and 10 batsman are at the crease, you don't really expect your best bowlers to get hit the way they did," Dhoni commented. "Credit must go to the batsmen, but I'm sure we would do better in the next game if the conditions are the same. We expect a close contest in this series because both sides are excellent sides."
