Deccan Charges - IPL T20 2009 Champions

Deccan Chargers made a remarkable fightback to rout Royal Challengers Bangalore by six runs in a nail-biting, tub thumping final to win the second edition of the Indian Premier League at Johannesburg on Sunday.

Chasing a modest 144 to win, Bangalore could make only 139 for nine in their quota of overs.

Pragyan Ojha was Hyderabad's most successful bowler, with figures of three for 28 followed by a double whammy by Symonds who plucked the danger man Ross Taylor & Virat Kohli. The credit also goes to the entire team for their didication and hard work on the field by doing excellent piece of fielding and not missing any catches. Gilli did a wonderful stumping of Virat which left the batsman drooling.

It was sheer irony that the team that finished with last in the inaugural edition of the tournament went on to lift the trophy in the second season.

It can also be accrued to fate that the two teams that occupied the bottom of the table in the inaugural edition contested the final this year. Both, along with Delhi Daredevils, qualify for the inaugural Champions League T20, to be held in India in October.

Hyderabad's Deccan Chargers triumph meant that for the second year running an Australian captain lifted the coveted trophy -- Adam Gilchrist following in the footsteps of the legendary Shane Warne of Rajasthan Royals.

Earlier, a superb spell of bowling by Anil Kumble (4-0-16-4) helped Bangalore restrict the Chargers to a paltry 143 for six.

Herschelle Gibbs scored a sublime & steady 53 not out off 48 balls (3x4, 2x6) to keep the Hyderabad challenge alive. The South African combined aggression with caution to good effect to anchor the team's innings to perfection after the early dismissal of Adam Gilchrist for zilch.

All in all 143 was an easy achievable task for Bangalore. Ross Taylor & Dravid looked steady, but some cheeky shots by them cost them their wicket. Robin Uthappa was the duck in the team. He is a batsman and could not perform at all. He was trying to get singles and doubles instead of scoring maximums. He will remember this loss forever.

DC's RP Singh's excellent last over repeated again. Earlier too he boweled so well to not give away runs.

When does the Windows Aero Effect Work?

Hi,
I recently figured out when the Windows Vista Aero effect be enabled. First it was some 4 months back that I installed Windows Vista Business by running the OS start up from my existing XP OS. That time I chose a new drive on the hard disk and the installation went fine. I logged into the Vista OS and I tried a lot to enable the Aero Effect. But, there was no option. I thought the installation itself was not right. Checked the setup logs, but could not find anything related to the Aero effect.
After 2 months of this OS being used, one fine day it started giving me problems. I was able to log into the Vista OS, but it was slow and the moment I tried to access any file it used to BLUE SCREEN. I got many variations of the Bluescreen codes. So, the only option now was again to re-install Vista. Other than this problem, i should say Vista worked like a charm. It was pretty fast too.
The second installation had to be done. So, this time I tried to install VIsta by booting the OS from the CD. I continued to install the OS by connecting my NIC to the router for internet so that the setup will automatically get all the required Updates while installing the OS. After the setup/installation was done from the bootable OS CD, the first thing I observed was that I could see the Aero Effect enabled.
So, now I conclude that if anyone doesn't see the Aero effect after installing Vista, then it means that they have started the Vista installation from an existing OS. Get the Vista Aero effect by installing the OS from the bootable OS CD.

thanks,
