Public believes Inzamam prefers chocolate fudge brownie flavored ice cream

This is certainly not breaking news, but its close. The "Pointless Poll of the Fortnight" has revealed, quite surprisingly, that the vast section (35%) of fans feel, that Inzamam enjoys chocolate fudge brownie ice cream.

Some of you might have assumed that I actually know what flavor Inzamam likes, and would perhaps tell you at the end of the fortnight, and see if the survey matched the actual answer...but sadly, that is not the case. I don't know what ice cream Inzamam prefers, but judging by his size, I am positive he does like ice cream.

Anyway , chocolate fudge brownie, beat out butter pecan, peanut butter crunch and strawberry cheesecake, which were all tied for 2nd place with 19% of the vote each. Not so shocking, but a bit disappointing, was that pumpkin came in dead last with 8% of the votes. That's 3 votes, and most probably all 3 of those votes were me trying to fudge (no pun intended) the survey from different computers...

Anyhow, this week's pointless poll was also one of the most unpopular ones in this site's poll history, perhaps indicative of the fact that it might have have been the most pointless poll questions ever asked. Excellent!

Results are shown below...

India's looking good...

Sachin just smashed his 41st ODI century, Ganguly's back with a vengeance, their opening conundrum's been solved, and the bowlers are getting wickets...

All in all, India after a poor couple of months in the middle, are getting back to where they were a year ago, in more ways than one. Not only are they back to their winnings ways, but the squad shuffling of the past few months seems to have come full circle. They're back to the Ganguly opening, Sachin in the middle, with Zaheer and Agarkar opening the bowling. I, for one, am very excited to see Ganguly back.

In this upcoming World Cup, where there is no clear cut 2nd best team, India, in my opinion, are looking pretty cohesive and tough. Thus the upcoming Ind-SL, along with the Pak-SA ODI series, will give us a clue and perhaps enable us to gauge the strengths and weaknesses of the four '2nd best' teams, one of which is most likely going to battle in Australia in the World Cup final in a couple of months.

England finally beat Australia

Australia's utter dominance down under in this Commonwealth Bank series against New Zealand and England made this series quite boring to follow. Though its good to see England finally beating Australia. No doubt, this victory will do them a world of good. I glanced at the points table and both New Zealand and Eng are tied with 9 points apiece. They both have a chance of making it to the final.

The batting finally came together, with Joyce providing the anchor and everyone batting around him. Its tough to score a century anyway, and for his maiden century to be against Australia in such trying times is an even bigger deal.

I'm also pleased to see Australia getting whipped in this game. Arguably, their loss shows their over-reliance on their skipper, Ricky Ponting, who was rested for this game. Now wouldn't it be amusing if England make it to the final and beat Australia? Well, unlikely as that may be, it would the dreamiest way to end this dreadful and demoralizing winter tour.
