| India''s Mahendra Singh Dhoni is the most assured, relaxed and confident captain going into the forthcoming World Cup, according to former Pakistan captain Imran Khan. The former great said India''s biggest strength is their captain who has the respect of his players. "He is the most assured and relaxed captain in this tournament and he has the respect of his players. He is also a very astute tactician and a matchwinner on his day," Imran said on the ''Geo Super'' channel. Imran, who led Pakistan to the title in 1992 World Cup, said India are the clear favorites to win the title on current form. That they are one of the co-hosts only adds to it. "On the sub-continental wickets their batting will be a powerhouse. They have two quality bowlers in Zaheer Khan and Harbhajan Singh and have taken a very wise decision by including leg-spinner Piyush Chawla in their bowling line-up," he said. Describing Virender Sehwag and Yousuf Pathan as two of the cleanest and most powerful hitters in the game today, Imran said the two had the potential to destroy any side. "They have immense ability to hit the ball and once they get going it is difficult to stop them. And given the superior quality of the bats today they become a dangerous pair." Imran, however, pointed out that Sehwag demonstrated very little foot movement and is vulnerable to the incoming ball. "That is his only weakness because he plays the outgoing ball well as he is very good at the cut shot. But I think to contain him you need to bring the ball into his pads. Probably the best bowler against him would have been Mohammad Asif." The former skipper felt India had so much talent at their disposal that they would find it hard to select the eleven. "I think on the sub-continental wickets teams would be better served playing an extra bowler. In March the weather is hot and by experience I know that pitches at this time of the year are very flat in India and terrific for batting." The cricketer-turned-politician also said that Zaheer and Harbhajan would play key roles for India. "They are their best bowlers and I think Zaheer is in the best bowling form of his life. He has the ability to reverse swing and move the ball both ways. While Harbhajan will be crucial to India''s chances as he comes into bowl at a very crucial time and is capable of taking wickets and also containing," Imran said. The former captain is also excited about the prospects of watching Chawla in action. "I have always believed it is essential to have a leg-spinner in one-day cricket because they are attacking bowlers. India have taken a wise decision to pick the leg-spinner and he will give them the edge over the non-Asian teams." |

Secure The Children In The Event Of Death
If you fail to write a last will and testament, then who decides who receives what? Often it will not go the way you would have intended. To be positive your desires are fulfilled, you should to draw up a will.
Should you perish without creating a will it’s the state that dictates how your property is divided. The intestacy laws are applied and it could not be what you will have hoped or wished.
If your legally married or have a civil partner but no children and your property is valued at a predefined figure or less then your partner will get the total of the estate including any life assurance cover . If the property is valued above this figure and you have surviving relatives, your partner will still receive this amount, plus half of the remainder. There exists an order in which family would inherit, with existing parents positioned at the head of the list, followed by siblings and so on.
Should you have a spouse and offspring then your spouse will receive the set amount as above and half of the excess. The descendants would receive 50% of the total over the set amount right away and the remaining 50% on the death of your partner.
If you have offspring but no lawful partner, then your offspring would divide the estate. This could not be at all what you’d have wished. You could have a partner who relies on you and who you would have wished to obtain at least share of your assets, who’d get nothing.
To remove all potential doubt about your assets, however simple it may seem, you should draw up a will. There are many options for this. You could write it yourself or hire a professional will agent or a solicitor.
Often people make their own last will and testament, commonly using a template which can buy from the post office. Take care should you go along this route – it’s very simple to make a mistake and you could even find it void. The cost of having a will made, particularly a comparatively basic one, is not exorbitant and you can be sure that your desires will be realised.
A trained will agent or a solicitor will be used to processing all forms of queries and will be able to assist you. There could be questions to do with setting up trust funds and perhaps taxes.
Having constructed your will, it’s a prudent idea to inspect it on occasion, as your situation changes. If you resolve to alter it, then it’s a smart move to nullify your previous one and have it remade. If the changes are minimal, it might be easier to make a codicil to form a part of the will and to be read in association with it. Any codicil will have to be made in the same fashion as the will in regards to signatures and witnesses.
Please be aware that any health insurance will terminate on the death of the will holder and no value will be attributed to It in the will.

Android Phones
It looks like Android would quickly move past the iPhone in market share.
Android phones are officially more popular with new smart phone consumers than iPhones, according to figures that have just been released by Nielsen Company.
Android phones are officially more popular with new smart phone consumers than iPhones, according to figures that have just been released by Nielsen Company.
Microsoft unveiled a new mobile phone operating system as it seeks to regain ground lost to Apple's iPhone, Blackberry and devices powered by Google's Android software.
Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer took the wraps off nine mobile phones powered by Windows Phone 7 (WP7) at an event at a loft in New York's Chelsea neighbourhood.
Ballmer said more than 60 mobile operators around the world will offer the devices, made by South Korea's Samsung and LG Electronics, Taiwan's HTC and Dell, the US computer giant, in more than 30 countries.
"We have built a different kind of a phone," Ballmer said. "We set out to build a phone that was thoroughly modern."
US telecom carrier AT&T showed off three devices which will sell for around USD 200 in the United States, about the same price as Apple's iPhone.
Another US carrier, T-Mobile, will offer two WP7-powered devices in November.
WP7 is Microsoft's first significant update to its mobile operating system in 18 months and its release comes on the heels of the disastrous launch of a "Kin" line of phones, which were pulled from stores after just two months.
Though mobile makes up only one per cent of Microsoft's revenue, the smartphone market is growing by around 30 per cent a year and the software behemoth is determined to remain a player in the sector.
