Pak vs SA 5th ODI Highlights

It's South Africa who are normally weighed down by the word 'choke' but Pakistan did just that in the final stages of their run-chase in Lahore, freezing at the threshold of an important series win. The game was in the bag when 36 were needed in the last ten overs with six wickets standing. But Pakistan contrived to surrender the game in a display of late-order batting that was both panicky and reckless. The 14-run win showed the close nature of the series and it could have easily swung either way.

South Africa 233 for 9 (Kallis 86, Gibbs 54, Shoaib 4-43) beat Pakistan 219 (Younis 58, Yousuf 53, Morkel 4-44, Ntini 4-61 ) by 14 runs

Red Sox Attempt To Break Fabled 'Curse Of Relief Pitcher Curtis Leskanic'

The Boston Red Sox, who have failed to win a single World Series since the departure of relief pitcher Curtis Leskanic in 2004, are attempting to defy the odds and do the impossible: reverse the curse of the journeyman reliever whose ghost has haunted this team since the mid-2000s.

Pitted against the Colorado Rockies in the 2007 Fall Classic, the team that for two long years seemed like it might be destined to lose forever has a chance to finally put an end to its 36-month-long World Series drought. However, the Red Sox must first overcome the famed Curse of Curtis Leskanic, which caused medium-to-long-suffering fans much anguish and heartache during the period between 2005 and 2006.

"It will take a miracle for the Sox to win the World Series as long as the spirit of Leskanic has anything to say about it," wrote Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy, who coined the phrase "Curse Of The Former Red Sox Relief Pitcher Curtis Leskanic" in March of 2005, when an error by shortstop Edgar Renteria allowed the Devil Rays to defeat the Red Sox 7-4 in a spring training game. "This curse will play a huge part in this series. Every home run that curves just foul, every dropped fly ball, every bad hop, every blown call—Curtis Leskanic will be there."

Leskanic, a right-handed set-up man acquired by the Red Sox halfway through the 2004 season, pitched nearly 28 innings for the team from July to September, and was present as Boston defeated the Yankees in the ALCS and went on the win the World Series. However, as legend has it, the Red Sox refused to offer him a contract extension, despite the fact that he was coming off a 3-5 season with a 5.19 ERA and 37 strikeouts. Leskanic, unable to find work in the major leagues, retired—and the rest is history. Since then, the Florida Little League team that Leskanic went on to coach has enjoyed unprecedented success, winning the Lake County Round Robin two years in a row and going undefeated in 2006.

Meanwhile, the Red Sox have made it to the playoffs just twice since 2004.

"I don't usually believe in 'curses,' but how else do you explain the Red Sox's early elimination from the 2005 Division Series, or their five-game sweep at the hands of the Yankees last August, or the fact that they didn't even make the playoffs in 2006?" said longtime Red Sox fan Gary Everett. "No team is that unlucky."

"We never should've gotten rid of Leskanic," Everett added. "Just think of how many more rings we'd have now."

"When [White Sox outfielder Scott] Podsednik hit that home run in Game 1 of the 2005 ALDS, all I could think was, 'Damn you, Leskanic!'" said Allston, MA resident Terry Bresler. "But if the Sox can beat the Rockies this year, I might be able to finally forgive Tony Graffanino for that error he made in Game 2 of that series."

In an interesting twist of fate, to end the curse, the Red Sox must first beat the Rockies, the team with which Leskanic began his career in 1993. Many fans believe destiny brought these two teams together—that it is only fitting that the Red Sox must exorcise the demons of their recent past against the very team with which Leskanic enjoyed his greatest success, including his 7-5, 6.23 ERA season in 1996 and his 1-1 effort in 1994.

"Ending the curse against the Rockies will just make it that much sweeter," said Boston resident Terry McMahon. "Not even Curtis Leskanic can stop this team!"

"I just pray that my son can see the Sox win at least one World Series in his lifetime," said Boston resident Sal Fischer of his son Cody, 2.

Many Red Sox fans believe the Curse of Curtis Leskanic was already broken this June when two diehard Red Sox fans traveled to Leskanic's childhood home in Homestead, PA and burned it to the ground, while others think the curse was lifted in August when the Red Sox won three games in a row. Still others believe that the ghost of Leskanic was expelled from Boston in April, when Jimmy Buffett played to a sold-out crowd at Fenway Park; Leskanic was known for not being that into Jimmy Buffett.

Curtis Leskanic currently resides in Orlando, FL with his family, and works as a pro scouting consultant in the Red Sox organization. When reached for comment, he wished the Red Sox the best of luck.

Pak vs SA ODI Series

South Africa continued the impressive form that won them the Test series and went up 1-0 in the one-dayers by beating Pakistan by 45 runs in Lahore. Twin centuries from Herschelle Gibbs and AB de Villiers helped them amass a challenging total on a flat pitch, before Makhaya Ntini's four-wicket burst shut out Pakistan's chances of making a fight of the chase.

If this was a final, as Ricky Ponting wanted his side to view the fifth one-dayer in Vadodara, it was reminiscent of the hopelessly one-sided conclusion to the World Cup in 1999. Mahendra Singh Dhoni let out a big smile at the toss, with the crowd cheering as if the result was a foregone conclusion, but trudged away in the knowledge that his side could no longer win the series. Even drawing level from here will take some getting.

5 Great (And Free) Games You’re Not Playing Now

The growth of casual gaming has spawned an unprecedented variety, and quality, of free web-based games. And as the development quality gets ever higher, it attracts more talent, bigger budgets, and more ambitious scopes. Here are five terrific games from independent developers you might have missed the first time around. All of these can be played in your browser, with Flash. Go on, it’s Sunday — waste a little time!

GrowCube: This and the other equally gorgeous puzzles on EyezMaze require imagination, trial and error, and maybe even some note-taking. Patience will be rewarded by lovely animations and transformations in the game world. The unique gameplay requires you to think several steps ahead.

Tanks: It’s simple, and addictive — shoot various types of missiles at the enemy tank, judging angles and mass to score direct hits. The best part is that it can be played multiplayer, for up to five players, or just play the AI alone.

Warbears: Another puzzle game, with an utterly charming design and engaging sense of humor. Aid the bears in their mission by choosing the order of their actions — or watch as they hilariously meet failure.

Dai Pai Dong: Cooking Mama meets the classic Diner Dash — in Hong Kong! Try to keep up with the picky customers’ demands by cooking to order and serving up beers. Warning: playing before lunch may make you hungry for sauteed crab.

Sprout: The hand-drawn art sets this puzzle game apart, as does the creatively told story of one lonely seedling far from where it sprouted. By planting the seed and growing a new plant, with new properties, guide the seedling home.

Finally India did it

Tendulkar and Ganguly used all their experience to play patiently, where a younger batsman might have tried to counter the difficult conditions by hitting his way out of trouble

Some interesting facts.....

• This was India's first ODI win against Australia in 12 tries. Their last victory was on January 18, 2004, in a VB Series match. Since then, they have lost eight games while three have been washed out.
• The defeat also breaks Australia's 14-match unbeaten run, which dates back to February 20 this year, when New Zealand beat them in the third game of the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy. Since then, Australia had won all 13 games in which there had been a decisive result.
• When Tendulkar reached 53, he became the first batsman to make 1000 runs in a calendar year seven times. Tendulkar has achieved it in 1994, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2003, and 2007. The only other batsman to manage it even six times is his current opening partner, Ganguly. Tendulkar is also the seventh batsman to get to 1000 ODI runs in 2007 - Mahela Jayawardene, Ian Bell, Paul Collingwood, Matthew Hayden, Sourav Ganguly and Ricky Ponting are the others.
• Tendulkar's 79 is his 84th half-century in ODIs, which is a record, going past Inzamam-ul-Haq's 83. The only other batsman with 80-plus fifties is Dravid, who has 80.

Ind vs Aus 4th ODI Highlights

India's bowlers fought back from a blistering opening by Matthew Hayden to snatch an eight-run victory and keep the seven-match series alive.

India 291 for 4 (Tendulkar 79, Dhoni 50*) beat Australia 283 for 7 (Hayden 92, Symonds 75) by 8 runs
