The general cricket discussion thread

Posted: 08 Nov 2013 11:55 AM PST

Why this thread?

So often, we have some random thought or point to make/discuss , and I personally sometimes skip it as I feel it is not worthy of a new thread & feel its unfair to hijack an existing thread...

Would recommend creating new thread for any big news & as usual we have threads for specific series/tournaments.. This is for something general random posts related to cricket...Kind of the Cricket Offtopic thread...

Will start with one post

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Misbah & Taibu seem to competing with each other for the prize of who can bat more defensively....

----------

After beating NZ in the 3rd ODI with a draing chase... Now Zimbabwe are on verge on possibly upsetting them in the Only Test...

116 needed in 34 Overs (Incl mandatory Overs) with the new ball just taken

EMV enabled credit cards now mandatory in India‽

Posted: 08 Nov 2013 10:09 AM PST

1.) All the new Debit or Credit card issued by banks will allow usage in India only. If the customer wants carry out international usage, the cards will have a EMV chip embedded on the card and will pin enabled.

2.) For existing Debit and Credit card customers, the issuing bank will need to convert the normal cards (which have traditional magstrip) into EMV chip and pin enabled (this will be one for users who have used the card internationally atleast once). The process will needs to be completed by June 30th 2013.

3.) Banks will put a threshold limit on international usage beyond which users will not be able to spend. The limit will be decided by Bank based on the risk profile of user. This process will needs to be completed by June 30th 2013.

With all international cards now being enabled for EMV Chip and pin, it will not be possible to use them online ( this is extra layer of security, where user will have to input pin number after usage of card) as most of the online merchants will not have a facility to input pin during process of payment authentication.

I am using BSNL broadband, I've used above 8 GB and according to the plan I should be getting 512 Kbps or 0r 0.50 Mbps.But when I am testing my speed I am getting 1.27 Mbps or 1300.48 Kbps.

Wow, maybe it is bypassing the FUP's restrictions.Now no one attends the call when calling to 1500.Why is it giving that much speed?

Anyone using a ADSL router

Posted: 08 Nov 2013 07:41 AM PST

Hi,

 

I'm looking to apply for incable broadband.

 

I have a beetel ADSL 2+ router with me. Is anyone else using any ADSL based router to connect to Internet ? Can

 

 you please tell me how many ports do you have on the router ... and if the WAN port is RJ45 port (like normal other ports) or RJ11 (slightly smaller port than other ports).

 

Also, what settings do they do in the modem for connecting to the internet ? I'm asking this as if we are able to do the same settings on the adsl router, it might work.Th

 

Thanks,

BSNL Combo 600 Plan Free usage reduced to 750 MB? (August 2013)

Posted: 08 Nov 2013 06:57 AM PST

Just logged in to portal to check my usage details for BBG-FN-HOME-600-COMBO-PLUS-MONTHLY_R plan (2.5 GB day usage and night unlimited) and was shocked to see that the free

usage instead of showing as 2.5 GB is showing as 750 MB!!! I have used about 970 MB till now so the charged usage is showing as 220 MB!

Very shocked and disappointed if BSNL has taken this step which is beyond belief. After waiting for many years, instead of getting a raise in 

the free usage, it has been reduced to more than one third! If other people are using this plan kindly check your portal account to see if there also it is showing 750 MB? If yes then post here and if it is still 2.5 GB then I suppose there must be some issue with the site. Hope it is still 2.5 GB because 750 MB is a joke! Also people might end up getting huge bills this month if they don't know this. Quite shocked by BSNL's shamelessness as they once again made such a huge change without informing the users!

 

Helmet

Posted: 08 Nov 2013 05:20 AM PST

Have been delaying purchasing a full face helmet for a while now. Have searched through the local market. Could not find anything interesting. 

 

Snapdeal is selling helmets. I find this one interesting... Any ideas anyone? 

 

Vega Helmet - Off Road (Dull Black)

 

Now this one is not a regular full face helmet.. So curious if anyone here is using such a model.

Tata Docomo 2G/3G connection Problem

Posted: 08 Nov 2013 04:31 AM PST

Its been a month since I started using TATAT DOCOMO postpaid connection with rs 350 plan, which promises me 1GB 3G internet + 2G unlimited internet. But as soon I took the connection I realised that TATA DOCOMO internet connets once, stays on for 30 minutes and after that disconnects. It doesnt connect back for the entire day(How many ever times you try). The next day I either have to switch off/on or Remove/Reinsert my SIM to connect the internet back again. I have raised several complaints with Tata Docmo Customer Care regarding this. The solution they gave was to "IP Pooling issue for the entire of karnataka Circle, so Keep turning off/on the data to reconnect back and occasionally try switch off/on also". I am tired of turning off/on my data connection on my MOTOROLA ATRIX 2. My question is when TATA DOCOMO can't provide the service promised, why should I pay their postpaid bill? I feel cheated by this geasture of TATA DOCOMO. Please provide me valuable suggestion to file a Consumer Complaint regarding the same. Customer complaint numbers are 759078273, 381921313

Got a wierd sms from docomo

Posted: 08 Nov 2013 04:28 AM PST

"Hi! STV Recharge succesful. MRP Rs.56,Validity:60 days.ALl LOcal/STD mobile calls @1p/2s.First 60 sec of every Local/STD mobile call @1.3p/s,landline 2p/s TRANc ID:XXXXXXXXXXXXX"

 

I have no clue why i got this sms, I never recharged any pack like this then i thought someone must have by mistakenly recharged for my mobile no. I contacted CC to get reply enjoy the benefits and it won't be rolled back.This msg simple doesn't make any sense as my balance did not change and the pack is rate cutter which is what my calling rates have been even before i got this sms, it simply means docomo has moved my base call charges to something else and i will need to pay a rate cutter pack after 60 days or face higher call charges.Any of you guys got something like this.

GOSE satellite reentering Earth - To fall on Sunday or Monday

Posted: 08 Nov 2013 03:25 AM PST

A 6 ton satellite called Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) is all set to hit earth.

Abt 5.5 ton will burn in atmosphere BUT BUT BUT 1200 pounds will still remain and HIT the earth!

There will be 26 pieces which means satellite will hit 26 places on earth in range of abt 800 km

NASA says it does not know where it will land! So DO NOT SLEEP tonight, it might hit you!!

Orbital debris scientists say the pieces will fall somewhere between 57 north latitude and 57 south latitude, which covers most of the populated world.

Chances are 1 in 3200 that it will hit a human!! The odds that the human will be you is 1-in-21 trillion :D

However NASA has said it wont land in USA.. so thats great, NASA indirectly says now its not their responsibility!!
6-ton satellite unlikely to fall on North America

You can see some current videos / pics of satellite here: (taken when satellite was just 316km far!)
Thierry Legault - UARS before reentry

Here is direct link to video (AVI file ~ 1min): http://sites.estvideo.net/ercs.electro/ManuAstro/UARS/uars_110915.avi

You can clearly see tumbling of the satellite
