I have so manytimes visited the CNN IBNLive’s official website www.ibnlive.com, but today I saw a news video clip through a link in an rss feed and I am really excited. The reason is the flash media player they are using to stream the video which is excellent now and the buffering speed has improved a lot, almost equal to youtube videos. This will really help us to watch some interesting newsclips at our own time without leaving the PC desk.

Here in my area the local cable tv service sucks. The operator has no control over the channels telecasted and everything is controlled and dominated by the main provider SCV group. As far as news channels, we are getting only NDTV 24×7 and Times NOW. Times NOW is full of grains and only watchable at sometimes.
When the CNN IBNLive channel was started, I got to see it for about 3 months and I was really impressed by their service. But for some reason the ibnlive channel was stopped by the local operators and I have been insisting the cable tv operator to get the channel but still no positive signs from him.
That’s why the online videos section of ibnlive.com has made me that much excited and I hope it’ll be a great site for me to watch the newsclips instantly online during tea time.

After India ruled out of the cricket worldcup 2007, I was very much disappointed as every Indian. I just visted the cricketing sites and found some interesting reactions from the fans.
Stop the players to advertise
Stop the BCCI to pay "No win No pay"
Stop the TV channels to give Expert commentery on crick( Even item girls have become cricket expert)
Stop playing crickect so much. It is spoiling all other sports and childern are not concentrating in study.
Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!………………….
1996 World Cup- India won the match against Pakistan by batting first but lost the semifinal against Srilanka by choosing field first.
1999 World Cup- After winning three consecutive match they lost the crucial match against Australia by electing field first.
2003 World Cup- After winning the semifinal against Kenya by batting first but they lost the final against Australia by electing field.
2007 World Cup- India won the match against Barmuda by huge runs but lost against Srilanka by electing field first.
Conclusion- India batting does not click in crucial matches.
Don’t worry. Chappel was just doing an experiment and everything will be fine in 2011 World Cup.
You want to blame. Then blame everyone from top to bottom i.e. selectors, captain, our so called great players, media and fans.
let india start playing against the so called minnows like zimbabwe , kenya, bermuda , scotland, holland & canada,and then afetrwards play bangla and ireland and then start playing against the other countries. all the matches shud be played with the new crop of youngsters , seniors shud sacked without mercy , new captain and new coach , ban the ads with cricketers and the media hype shud b restricted
I would rather suggest we should start playing against Nepal, Bhutan & Burma also. They are our neighbours….
