Sri Lanka's Tour Of Pakistan- Make Way Pakistan, Sri Lanka Is Back

The 3 days One Day International cricket series being played between Pakistan and Sri Lanks is now leveled at 1-1 leaving the game open for both teams. Tillakaratne Dilshan amassed 76 runs for Sri Lanka as they ended their inning with 290-8 off 50 overs. Opener Khurram Manzoor and veteran player Younis Khan both fell victim to deliveries by Kulasekera. Salman Butt was once again faced with the daunting task of chasing the Sri Lankan total. Doing the best he could, Butt scored 62 runs but could not match his performance of the day before when his unbeaten century had cruised Pakistan to victory. Pakistan team skipper Shoaib Malik scorec 54 off just 52 balls with the help of 5 boundaries and a sixer. Salman Butt and Shoaib Malik put on a 108 runs together for their cricket team but unfortunately couldn't defeat the Sri Lanka cricket team. Muttiah Muralitharan, a legend in off-spinning broke the duo's partnership by getting rid of Malik. After that, the whole Pakistani team crumpled for just 161 runs. Mendis quickly got rid of the lower order batting line up. Afridi, with the exception of Butt and Malik was the only batsman on the Pakistani side to have reached double figures with just 14 runs. Having won the toss, Malik decided to invite the host team to bat first. Not a good idea as Pakistan has a poor record of chasing runs. After having been left out of the team during Sri Lanka's one day cricket series against 3 sides, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe, Dilshan has made quite a return. He scored 42 in the first match and 76 in the second despite playing at a new position at the top of the batting order. Alongside Thilina Kandamby, he scored a total of 99 runs for the 3rd wicket partnership. Kandamby was playing instead of Jehan Mubarak and above the Sri Lankan captain Mahela Jayawardene. He scored 59 off 79 deliveries and was finally caught by Shoaib Malik off a ball by Rao Iftikhar Anjum. Chamara Kapugedara made a quick 44 from 39 deliveries including 2 magnificent sixes. Umar Gul remained the highest wicket taker for Pakistan as he took 4-58 including the all-important wicket of Sanath Jayasuriya. Jayasuriya got out as he accidentally stepped onto his stumps while trying to defend. Jayawardene said his team owed its' success to having learnt from the mistakes it had made in the previous match. The 3rd and last match of the series will be played on Saturday, 24th Jan, in Lahore. This will be the tie-breaker deciding which of the 2 teams will take the trophy.

How To Make Ridiculous Money Online Using Myspace

MySpace is absolutely loaded with all sorts of mechanisms for making money – all built into the system, but not for that purpose. As a marketer, you can think of MySpace as a massive network of potential affiliates and customers, all interwoven in a somewhat disorderly way. In order to make money, you must figure out how to overcome that disorder with a clean system. The best way in which you can do that is to begin finding ways to break MySpace users into categories. Unless your product or service appeals to a general audience, you will want to zero in on the groups you feel will be your most responsive customers. You can do this in several different ways. One way is to use the search and browse functions to find people who have certain interests or use certain words in their profiles. For instance, if you’re looking for someone who might make a good affiliate, you may search for people who have a background in computer science or in advertising. If you already have a profile at this point, you can simply add them to your friends list. If you find any unusually good prospects, remember to record their names in some database, so you don’t forget why you added them. Another way in which you can do this is to look for people in forums and groups related to your topic. Do whatever you can to add useful information to threads; and then attempt to get as many people to join your list from those specific groups and forums. Once you have added these new friends, you may want to contact them periodically to develop some type of personal relationship. For instance, you may want to send out bulletins that are related to your shared interest, but have nothing to do with your business.
