It will be a massive game for both the sides as they are looking to go all the way and make it to final hurdle. Its been a great season where we did not had any clear favorites for the big title throughout the season although it has been a tug of war between two Manchester and now there is only 3 points between two clubs and this derby game's all three points could give one team the title.


Manchester United are 3 points clear at the top of the table and they have been in great form since the turn of the year and at one point it looked like they will go onto win the title with ease with few games in hand but things have changes Manchester City are have called back former United player Tevez in the team who helped them get a few points and United stumbled at home to Everton in high scoring draw 4-4 and they lost against Wigan which allowed City to be in a position that if they can get all three points in this match they will go onto to top the league which just 2 matches to go.

So like Sir Alex Ferguson says, this is the most important derby game in the league for him since he took charge which shows how important is the game for both the sides and you can tune in here to get the updates throughout the match and we will be placing goals video and the match highlights which will be available after the match is over.

No ICC Champions Trophy after 2013


The ICC Champions Trophy, which will be held in England, in 2013, will pull its final curtains as the association plans having one championship for each of the game's three formats from 2015. While the playoffs for the World Test Championship are scheduled for June 2017, the 50 over tournament, which has been on since 1998, is terminated in the International Cricket Council's Future Tours Program after 2013.
"We have said for a while that we would like one championship event for each format. We are including the Test championship in there. We have the World Cup to have the champion for 50-overs cricket. So we are not planning to hold Champions Trophy in the future," The Nation quoted ICC Chief Executive, Haroon Lorgat, as saying.


The ICC had initially hoped to change the format of the Champions Trophy, to that of play-offs between the top four Test teams as per the ICC Test rankings.

However, following a ICC's executive board meeting in 2011, they released its statement which cited there would be significant commercial challenges in replacing the Champions Trophy without the support and consent of the ICC's broadcast partner, ESPN and changing the tournament's format from ODIs to Test play-offs would require a substantial cut in the broadcast rights fee, which would supposedly have repercussions on the Members.

The second-biggest 50-over tournament of ICC will be held in 2013 England that would feature the eight highest-ranked ODI teams calculated six months before the tournament. 

Paras Khadka to Play club cricket in Canada


Nepalese National team captain Paras Khadka is to play club cricket in Canada. He has been called to play for Ontario Cricket Club and Academy for 4 months. He is preparing to leave for Canada in second week of May after completing visa related process. Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) and Armed Police Force (APF) – from which he plays – have already given a clearance to Khadka to play in a foreign country. However, he is to come back to Nepal in the third week of September, to play ACC trophy for Nepal in UAE. Paras told us that the club will have to release him to play for whenever Nepal plays international cricket. Nepal’s Canadian coach Pubudu Dassanayake is responsible for getting Paras in the Canadian Club.
Paras Khadka 

“This is a good opportunity for me. Coach is seeking opportunity for other players too,” Paras said, “Playing in foreign conditions is good. It builds toughness. If 4-5 players play in other countries, Nepal’s preparations ahead of ACC Trophy and Division 4 will be good.”
All expenses for Paras is to be borne by the Club. “I will get remuneration too, but the amount is not fixed yet,” Paras said. He will be applying for Canadian Visa within a few days, after collecting all documents. “Coach had asked me whether I would play if I get opportunity. I said I was ready.” He said.
Paras and Shakti Gauchan came into limelight after they helped Nepal finish 7th in the ICC World Twenty20 qualifiers. Skipper Khadka had made 254 runs and taken 7 wickets. Gauchan took 16 wickets and finished as the third top wicket taker in the championship along with hatric against Bermuda . Gauchan has already returned after trials at the Indian Premier League (IPL) team, Rajasthan Royals.Ontario Club contracts players from India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka every year to play. Along with Paras, Ontario has already contracted former India A player and Deccan Chargers (IPL team) player Jaskaran Singh, for this year.

Final countdown starts to London Olympics 2012


Kew Gardens on an English spring morning hosted the first in a series of celebrations on Wednesday to commemorate the 100 days` countdown to the London Olympics.
An oak tree was  planted to mark Britain`s role in the birth of the modern Olympic movement and giant Olympic rings made up of 25,000 flowers had  displayed.
A city steeped in theatre and pageantry will then be entertained in the early afternoon by members of West End theatre shows assisted by British athletes taking part in a "West End Warm-Up" performance in Trafalgar Square.
On the following day the 70-day Olympic torch relay begins at Land`s End.
Any initial trepidation about Britain`s ability to stage a major global event has long vanished and last month the London organising committee received a glowing endorsement from International Olympic Committee commission chairman Denis Oswald who proclaimed: "London is ready to welcome the world." "We can feel that London is feeling the fever of the Games," Oswald said. "We are in no doubt that this summer will be a summer like no other in Britain."

Ensuring a unforgettable Olympics for London and the thousands of athletes and visitors who will pour into Britain for the Games opening on July 27 is the ultimate responsibility of organising committee chairman Sebastian Coe.
A reminder of the disturbing ease with which big sporting events can be disrupted came this month when an intruder in the Thames disrupted the annual university boat race between Oxford and Cambridge.
In an interview with Reuters to mark the 100 days` landmark, Coe said there was a need to get a balance between the safeties of the competitors while ensuring spectators were not subjected to oppressive security measures.
"Competitors are doing something at the highest level, they have devoted over half their young lives to be there," he said.
"It is our responsibility to make sure they have a secure environment in which to compete but you do not want people coming to London feeling they have come to a siege town.
"We will get that balance right; we have to get that balance right. I am not being remotely cavalier or particularly sanguine about the nature of what we have to do but we will get this right."
Coe was also upbeat about London`s problematic transport system.
"At Games time things will be different," he said. "This is the first time a Games will have been on these shores for 64 years and there`s nobody in this room, there`s probably nobody sitting out there now that is going to is going to witness them again in their lifetime so it is a celebration. "The city will look different, it will be different, getting about it will be different."
Asked about criticisms of the high cost of a sports event in grim economic times, Coe said there would be some validity to the argument if the Olympics was just a sporting festival.
"But of course it isn`t," he said. "We have regenerated in the process a large part of east London, we`ve transformed the lives of many young people living in east London.
"More broadly we have an opportunity to showcase this country in front of four billion people not just in sport but in our cultural communities. We have the ability to host 200 countries.

Watch Live streaming of Champions League Semifinals First Leg:BAYERN MUNICH Vs REAL MADRID


BAYERN MUNICH Vs REAL MADRID
Venue: Allianz Arena, Munich
Date:April 17, 2012;
Time: 06:45 GMT [+5:45 NST]

The first of the two semifinal clashes will see nine-time champions Real Madrid square off against four-time champions Bayern Munich in what is bound to be an epic battle this Tuesday.
This game will unleash one of the fiercest continental rivalries – competitive, controversial, vitriolic and prestigious. The rivalry they induced on and off the field has so far been wild and with no holds barred. The two teams met for the first time in the continental tournament in the semifinal of the 1976 edition, the Golden period of the Bavarian giants. Bayern brushed Madrid aside over two legs and went on to win the Championship as well. The tie landed the Spanish giants in troubled waters, as one of their fans attacked Müller and the match official of that game. As a result Madrid were handed a five-year ban from participating in European tournaments, but somehow managed to get the punishment reduced to three away games.
Vs



Facts about two Opponents:

The Bayern Munich has posted six straight home victories in the Champions League and has won 12 of its last 13 European outings at the Allianz Arena.

Bavarian outfit has never lost to Real Madrid at home (W8, D1). Munich's overall record against Madrid is W10, D2, L6.

The clubs have met each other in four previous European Cup semifinals, with Bayern prevailing three times (1976, 1987, 2001) to Madrid's one (2000).

Jupp Heynckes, who won the Champions League in his solitary season at the Madrid helm in 1997-98, has never beaten Spanish opposition over two legs as a coach.

Real Madrid is unbeaten in this season's Champions League and, with just six goals conceded, has the best defensive record of the teams still involved in the tournament.

The Castilian giants have recorded just one victory on German soil in 22 attempts (W1, D6, L15) - a 3-2 success over Bayer Leverkusen in 2000-01.
Madrid is making a record 23rd semifinal appearance in Europe's elite club competition and is seeking to reach its 13th final.

Cristiano Ronaldo (pictured right) has struck 14 Liga hat tricks for Madrid, two more than Ferenc Puskas' tally for the club, but still well behind Alfredo Di Stefano's record (22).

.
The Champions League semifinals of this season will pitch a rematch of the classic and controversial 2009 semifinal tie between Chelsea and Barcelona. Every football fan remembers ‘that’ semifinal vividly, be it for Iniesta’s miraculous goal and Tom Henning Overbo’s controversial officiating, with Chelsea supporters feeling that they were cheated of a place in the finals.
Three years later, Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona has gone from strength to strength and are widely acknowledged as one of the greatest teams of all-time. They have reached this stage in fully dominant fashion, without losing a single match on the way and scoring 33 goals in 10 matches. They have also been in great form in the league lately, winning each of their last 11 matches, with Lionel Messi on an unstoppable scoring spree.

Chelsea, on the other hand, are no longer the force they once were. They are struggling in the league and their path was far from convincing, but they will relish the chance to face Barcelona again and they will aim to reach the final in Munich. Their performance improved a lot under Di Matteo, with the old guard seemingly finding it in them to make one last push.



Facts about two Opponents:

Barcelona and Chelsea have faced 10 times in the Champions League, with Barcelona winning 3, Chelsea winning 3 and 4 draws. Both teams have scored 15 goals.

Lionel Messi has never scored against Chelsea.

Fernando Torres scored 7 goals against Barcelona during his time at Atlético.

Chelsea have won all their home matches in the Champions League so far, while Barcelona have never lost on the road and only drawn once.

Abhijit Baruah from Assam named as a longest barefoot runner in world


What do you do to name yourself in Guinness World Records?  A 22-year-old Assam Police constable was Tuesday officially entered in the Guinness World Records as the longest barefoot runner, having run 156.2 km in 24 hours.
Abhijit Baruah, who hails from Jorhat in Upper Assam, created the feat January 30 this year when he started his run at 3.56 p.m. and ended it at 3.56 p.m. the following day, covering a total of 156.2 km distance.
On May 28 last year, Abhijit -- also a black belt in karate and kickboxing -- had run 150 km in 26 hours and 31 minutes and entered his name in the Limca Book of Records.
Chandrasekhar Tiwari, one of the Indian representatives of the Guinness World Records, supervised the run by Abhijit.
 "The Guinness World Records authority in India called me up and informed that I am officially certified for the record. I am very happy to have scored the record. It was my dream from early years to do something great and today I have done that," said Abhijit while talking to IANS on Tuesday.


The Assam government announced an award of Rs.2 lakh to Abhijit, and the cheque for the amount was handed over to him by Congress MLA from Jorhat constituency Rana Goswami Tuesday.

On January 30, about 100 volunteers including those from district administration and other clubs in Jorhat kept sweeping the 10-km stretch on the National Highway (NH) 37 in Jorhat district where Abhijit completed his run.
The young man had bagged several gold, silver and bronze medals in many national-level martial arts competitions.Hope you too will try something new so that you can  be in news. 

Watch live streaming of IPL match between Pune warriors Vs RCB


Dear cricket lover how are you all doing? Hope the cricket fans all over the world must have been enjoying the exclusive matches of IPL season 5.

 IPL 2012, 21st  match
 Royal Challengers Bangalore v Pune Warriors
 Date:April 17, 2012
 Time: 8:00 PM IST, 14:30 GMT 
Venue: M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore


When the squads were assessed before the start of the tournament, Pune Warriors were deemed to be one of the underdogs and Royal Challengers Bangalore, one of the favourites. So far, those assessments have proved totally off the mark. Royal Challengers are having a hard time. The fifth bowler has been a particular concern for them - leaking 71 runs in the defeat to Chennai Super Kings, and 69 in the meltdown against Rajasthan Royals. S Aravind had impressed last season in the IPL, but had a horror outing on Sunday. Royal Challengers had also been hamstrung by a shortage of allrounders in their line-up, limiting their bowling options. That could be changed by getting in either Tillakaratne Dilshan or Andrew McDonald, but at the expense of whom? Daniel Vettori is the captain, Gayle and de Villiers are automatic picks, and Muttiah Muralitharan has looked the best of the side's bowlers so far. The teams met only once last season, when Royal Challengers' powerful top order, led by Virat Kohli and Chris Gayle, set up a total that proved too much for the faltering Warriors

 Rajasthan Royals Vs Deccan Chargers
 Date:April 17, 2012
Time: 4:00 PM IST, 10:30 GMT 
Venue: Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur

Rajasthan Royals will face the minnows Deccan Chargers in their home ground to top the points table while Deccan chargers will look for their first win of the tournament. The Royals hit the summit of the points table after their win against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Ajinkya Rahane slaughtered the relatively inexperienced Indian bowlers in the attack and the Chargers bowling attack isn't the most threatening. 

Deccan Chargers have had a week to get over the last-ball heist by Rohit Sharma in Visakhapatnam, a game the Chargers shouldn't have lost.

These teams played each other just once last season, with the Royals chasing down 138 easily winning by eight wickets in Hyderabad. Johan Botha was the top scorer for the Royals with an unbeaten 67.

Warne and Hurley will get married in 2 countries

Shane Warne and his fiancee Liz Hurley have revealed that they will have two weddings, one in Australia and other in Britain, next year.
The couples also reveal their pet names for each other in their first joint interview.
They told Hello! Magazine that Warne is known as "Big Blond", while model and businesswoman Hurley has acquired the nickname "Luna" - among other things.
"Elizabeth calls me a lot more than just the Big Blond - she has dozens of names for me, all of them too embarrassing to share," the Sydney Morning Herald quoted Shane as telling Hello!.
"I have a handful for her, too, but I usually call her Luna as there was a terrible paparazzi picture of her once looming in to kiss me, which reminded me of the massive mouth at the entrance of Luna Park, the Australian theme park," the former Australian cricketer added
Shane Warne with Liz Hurley

The pair - who posed for the magazine in Sri Lanka in matching white outfits, echoing 42-year-old Warne`s cricket gear - said the dual celebrations are to allow their family and friends a chance to attend.
"We are very mindful of the fact that our loved ones live at opposite ends of the world," said Warne.
Mum-of-one Hurley, 46, said of her partner: "I am extremely happy when I`m with Shane. We are very similar in many ways. Despite differences in our backgrounds and careers, we both come from very secure, loving homes and to me that says a lot."
Hurley - who was previously married to businessman Arun Nayar - announced her engagement to Warne in October of last year.

Stuart Law steps down from Bangladesh coach


Stuart Law has resigned as Bangladesh coach after nine months in the job, citing family reasons. He will stay on till the end of June, when his contract expires. His decision to quit comes less than a month after Bangladesh reached the final of the Asia Cup, widely seen as one of their finest achievements. "It is with great regret and a heavy heart that today I announce my stepping down as the head coach of Bangladesh," Law said.
He said he will move back to Australia after two and a half years in the subcontinent, which included a coaching stint with Sri Lanka. "Living away from the family and not seeing people growing up, I think we all understand that family comes first," he said. "Cricket has been a huge part of my life but over the years I have realised that there is nothing more important than the family and if they are not happy then I am not happy and something had to give."
Stuart Law 

Law had taken over as national coach last July, and though the initial results were disappointing - including losses to Zimbabwe - the home season ended with Bangladesh upsetting India and Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup, before losing the final in a last-ball finish.
The decision appeared to have come as a surprise to those in the team. Tamim Iqbal said he was completely unaware about Law's intentions after the Asia Cup. "I'm completely taken by surprise. But family comes first," Tamim told ESPNcricinfo.
Bangladesh media committee chairman Jalal Yunus said the board understood Law's decision. "As he (Law) has said the family was his priority and that should be the case for all of us," Yunus said. "We are sorry to see him go, especially at a time when under his guidance the Bangladesh team is doing really well and showing good consistency."

ICC increases participating teams for World Twenty20


The International Cricket Council (ICC) has decided to expand the 2014 World Twenty20 in Bangladesh from 12 teams to 16 to boost the associate members. The ICC Executive Board held the second of its scheduled 2012 meetings in Dubai this weekend and address the concern raised by associate members.
The associate members were unhappy after the ICC refused to increase the number of teams for this year's World Twenty20 (T20I) in Sri Lanka despite their good performance in the 2011 World Cup.

The ICC during its executive board meeting here Sunday received a report of the strategic discussions held at the Chief Executive’s Committee (CEC) in March 2012 and confirmed that from 2014 onwards, the number of teams participating in the World Twenty20 will be increased from 12 to 16. The event should remain a joint men’s and women’s event.

The board also said that three additional Twenty20 Internationals may be played in the year in which the ICC World Twenty20 is being staged provided there is a corresponding reduction in the maximum number of permitted ODIs. As per ICC Scheduling guidelines, the current regulations permit a maximum of 12 T20Is for each full member in any one year.

“The need to manage volume of cricket was considered when agreeing to allow the additional T20Is to be played in a year,” ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat said in a statement Monday.

The board also confirmed the hosting for the ICC World Twenty20 2014 qualifying tournament in the United Arab Emirates in October 2013 and the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 qualifying event in New Zealand in 2014.This decision will be useful for associate country like Nepal and their dreams to play T20 world cup may come true

The ICC has already commenced with planning for its new rights cycle post 2015 and a key prerequisite of this is to determine the ICC events that will be staged.
