India clear season with fourth test win

India 106 for 2 (Rahul 51*) and 332 (Jadeja 63, Rahul 60, Pujara 57, Lyon 5-92) beat Australia 300 (Smith 111, Wade 57, Warner 56, Kuldeep 4-68) and 137 (Maxwell 45, Jadeja 3-24, Ashwin 3-29, Umesh 3-29) by eight wickets

Ajinkya Rahane sent a 146kph bouncer from Pat Cummins flying into the group at midwicket and, next ball, slapped another short one over the cover fence while stepping back. These were the blows that at long last snuffed out the remainder of Australia's battle, and fixed unequivocally India's triumph in this most charming of Border-Gavaskar arrangement. Australia entered the fourth morning with just the scantest of expectations, guarding a negligible 87 runs and requiring 10 wickets. This did not imply that challenge was over, as Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins terminated the ball down with pace and venom following a night's refreshment. The loss of M Vijay and Cheteshwar Pujara - the last run out by a splendid toss from Glenn Maxwell - kept Australia trusting. Be that as it may, KL Rahul and Rahane reacted with intense hits to settle the matter. The win in Dharamsala finished India's marathon home Test season with four arrangement triumphs out of four, and furthermore implies that the group by and by holds arrangement respects over each other country in the five-day amusement. Rahane's remain in captaincy, without the harmed Virat Kohli, had been fundamental to this accomplishment, so too the keeps running of Rahul, the pace of Umesh Yadav and the inside and out commitment of Ravindra Jadeja. There will be extraordinary fulfillment got additionally from the way that Dharamsala offered conditions more natural to the travelers. Consequently, among others, Steven Smith's group were left to consider a string of missed open doors after their limitless opening win in Pune. There have been times in each of the three Tests since that the Australians have looked especially responsible for procedures, yet they have been not able remain on the peak under weight from an Indian side animated without hesitation by the stun of that first-up stowing away. As the ball kept on ricocheting and swerve when India continued their quest for an unassuming target today, Australia's defenders more likely than not pondered what may have been with another 100 or so hurries to shield. Josh Hazlewood went up for a couple of vociferous lbw bids against Vijay in the opening over, however on both events the opener got the merest of bat to ball before it struck the cushion. At the flip side Cummins sent a bouncer down the leg side that may have touched Vijay's gloves before being gone up against the juggle by Matthew Wade. Surely Ultra Edge showed to such an extent, however just Wade raised the most pitiful of claims. More direct was another edge in Cummins' next over, sufficiently close to an activity replay of Vijay's first-innings rejection, which offered a flash of light for Australia. Real fervor took after when Pujara and Rahul delayed lethally in taking a speedy single to the correct arm of Maxwell, who tossed down center stump to send Pujara on his way with 60 still required. In those minutes the Australians pondered quickly what may be conceivable, and the Indian survey zone worried like with such a large number of groups pursuing a troublesome little focus previously. Be that as it may, Rahane and Rahul scarcely put a foot strange in the overs that took after, gathering relentlessly until Cummins chose to circumvent the wicket for the visitors' last exertion. Rahane's riposte, the primary amazingly conventional, the second more fragrant of the pending IPL, said much in regards to India's praiseworthy flexibility notwithstanding a most unforeseen test.

Sewag describes More players will come out against DDCA

Gautam Gambhir and Ishant Sharma sided with him in his battle against Delhi cricket administrators, star batsman Virender Sehwag on Tuesday said more players will follow suit. "More will come out," said Sehwag, who is currently here undergoing rehabilitation for his injured shoulder.
The swashbuckling batsman would first discuss the "issue" with the Delhi and District Cricket Association President Arun Jaitley before airing his views in the media, a source said. The players are unhappy with the DDCA Sports Committee which, they claimed, interfered in selection matters and also indulged in corruption.
The DDCA has said Sehwag's outburst was a pressure tactic to include his cousin Mayank Tehlan in Delhi Ranji team even though the India opener has dismissed the charge.

Haryana Cricket Association has already invited Sehwag to play for the state

Big vaccine race in Indian pharma

In early August, Novartis and Sanofi Aventis began the first human tests of their swine flu vaccines. In India, the race is between three Indian biotech companies.

The Pune-based Serum Institute of India seems best placed. It was already working on a vaccine for seasonal flu. Serum Institute's products are exported to over 140 countries, and the company claims that one out of every two children immunised in the world has received a Serum Institute vaccine.

The other two companies are Panacea Biotech and Bharat Biotech. Delhi-based Panacea is a WHO pre-qualified supplier of a range of vaccines and has collaborations with international institutes. Its working on vaccines for anthrax, dengue, and Japanese encephalitis.

Hyderabad-based Bharat Biotech launched India's first indigenous pentavalent (five-in-one) 'Comvac-5' vaccine in March this year. What's unique about the vaccine is that it is the only Hepatitis B vaccine in the world to be manufactured without the use of cesium chloride, a heavy metal needed to precipitate proteins. As a heavy metal, cesium chloride is a known cancer causing agent and the fact that Bharat Biotech found another safer way to purify its hepatitis-B antigen makes Comvac-5 even more special.

There's a fourth company, Ahmedabad-based Cadila Pharma, which is collaborating with US-based Novavax, using Novavax's 'virus-like particles' technology. This technology cuts short manufacturing time.

The buzz is that one company has already managed to grow the cell line, and is now engaged in scaling up production, a tricky operation, given the myriad variables in biologics manufacture. Today, we have to depend on imported vaccines to vaccinate health workers from swine flu. We pay handsomely to procure this vaccine. Countries that produce the vaccine use it domestically first.

Given this, it is crucial that an Indian pharma company develops a vaccine. May the best company win. And whoever wins, Indians are winners.

Just a thought

A blind boy sat in the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign, which said, “I am blind, please help.”There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into hat. He then the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to get filled. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?”

The man said, “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said, but in a different way. I wrote, ‘today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it.”
There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story. The first is: Be thankful for what you have. Someone else has less. The second is: be creative. Be innovative. Think differently.
THERE IS ALWAYS A BETTER WAY!

Little Johnny and his family seldom had guests. Today, he was eager to help his mother after his father appeared with two dinner guests from the office. When the dinner was nearly over, Little Johnny went to the kitchen and proudly carried in the first piece of apple pie, giving it to his father who passed it to a guest. Little Johnny came in with a second piece of pie and gave it to his father, who again gave it to the other guests.
This was too much for little Johnny, who said, “it’s no use, dad. The pieces are all the same size.”
