Q1 – The red flag stopped the session after four minutes only, due to Michel Nykjær’s SEAT hitting the wall at the Villeneuve chicane.
As soon as the session resumed most of the drivers went for a quick lap with Tiago Monteiro posting the fastest for good with the time of 1:38.952.
Yokohama Trophy competitors Kristian Poulsen (1:39.293) and Mehdi Bennani (1:39.328) were second and third fastest respectively, followed by the Chevrolet trio of Yvan Muller, Alain Menu and Rob Huff.
In the dying moments of the session Tom Coronel was desperately trying to make the top-ten. He eventually improved to 1:39.680 that was not enough as he qualified 11th, only 0.042 seconds behind Fredy Barth in 10th.
The following drivers qualified for Q2: Monteiro, Poulsen, Bennani, Muller, Menu, Huff, Michelisz (brilliant on his first outing with the BMW 320TC), Tarquini, Engstler and Barth. The latter will start from pole position on the reverse grid for Sunday’s Race 2.
Javier Villa did not post any lap due to a turbo failure.
Q2 – Chevrolet drivers set the pace straight from the beginning, with Huff (1:38.458) and Muller (1:38.738) posting the provisional fastest laps.
Although Huff’s time eventually proved to be out of reach for the rest of the field, Muller’s was  beaten by Menu (1:38.598) and Tarquini (1:38.723) who both managed to improve just before the chequered flag was waved.
Despite a spin, Poulsen won pole for the Yokohama Trophy posting a 1:39.398 that beat Michelisz’s 1:39.450 by 0.052 seconds only.

Review:
Tijdens het paasweekend komt er andermaal een heus FIA-kampioenschap naar het Limburgse asfalt, namelijk het FIA World Touring Car Championship! Wie close racing op wereldniveau op zijn of haar verlanglijstje heeft staan, rept zich best als de paashaas naar Circuit Zolder!

Wie zal tijdens deze 3e en 4e manche van het seizoen regerend wereldkampioen Chevrolet een tik kunnen verkopen? Seat, BMW of de nieuwe outsider Volvo? Wat er ook van zij, een potje racen onder toerismewagens staat altijd garant voor spectaculaire stoten. Saillant detail: meer dan één piloot van het WTCC heeft al te kennen gegeven de eerste 20 minuten op Europese bodem achter zijn naam te willen schrijven.

Met de aanwezigheid van het Belcar Endurance Championship in de timing is er dit jaar ook een stevige nationale verankering. Blikvangers hier zijn onder meer de Red Bull Corvette van Delahaye evenals het sterrenpilotenduo Anthony Kumpen en Koen Wauters bij Viage KRK. Maar de zoete wraak is misschien wel voor Tim Verbergt en Jeffrey Van Hooydonk met hun monsterlijke Petronas-Barwell Aston Martin DBRS9 …

Om het paasfeest helemaal compleet te maken, staan ook de pijlsnelle Legend Cars en de European Production Series op het programma. In de Series komen vanaf dit jaar naast toerismewagens van allerlei pluimage ook cupwagens aan de start: Seat León, Ginetta GSO, MINI, Renault Clio en Fiat Abarth. Benieuwd hoe die de paaseitjes gaan verdelen …

Bethany Hamilton hasn't just survived the loss of her arm. She's thrived without it

Bethany Hamilton has been a household name since the age of 13, when a 14-foot tiger shark amputated her left arm while she was surfing off her home island of Kauai. Now 21, Hamilton is balancing her career as a pro surfer with promoting the movie based on her autobiography. "Soul Surfer" hits theaters April 8; see the trailer here. Hamilton spoke to ESPN on the phone from Orlando to talk about watching Hollywood stars act out her life, how good the movie's surf scenes are, and why she didn't want the Bible to end up on the cutting room floor.

Bethany Hamilton lost her arm in a shark attack at 13. Today she surfs with the best in the world. Gallery

Why did you want to see your autobiography made into a movie?
I just hope it encourages people in the troubles that everyone goes through. Everyone has a hard time at one time or another. I just hope that it can help people.

How did actress AnnaSophia Robb do playing you in the movie?
I've seen the film several times, and AnnaSophia did an amazing job. I'm just so stoked with how well she did. It was funny, because me and my mom actually helped pick her. We had seen her in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "Bridge to Terabithia," and we suggested her and she ended up getting the part, so that was really cool.

The movie has an Academy Award-winner, Helen Hunt, an American Idol, Carrie Underwood, and Dennis Quaid. What is it like to see famous people acting out the story of your life?
Having Dennis and Helen, they are both amazing. It was cool because Dennis had seen me on some show I did in New York once they were announcing that we were doing the film and he wanted the part, to be the dad, because he had almost lost his kids in a health [crisis].
Getty Bethany Hamilton at the "Soul Surfer" premiere.
It was interesting. I've never been a part of that. There are all these little details that come into play, so it was cool to watch and learn and give input. But at the same time, it was kind of stressful, because it's our life story and we want it to be told the best it can be told. We had a really good director, Sean McNamara, and he was really key in letting us be a part of giving input. I think it helped being able to make the surfing accurate.

Did you do the surfing in the movie?
Yeah, I did. All the one-armed stunts are me, so the second half of the film. Alana Blanchard [Hamilton's friend who was with her on the day of the attack] does her own stunt surfing.
We went to Tahiti and filmed some really good surf down there. The surfing -- it's probably one of the best surf Hollywood films ever made, in my opinion.

Your Christian faith is really important to you. There's been some discussion over "Holy Bible" being digitally edited out of a hospital scene between you and your dad. What was your reaction to that?
Like I said, I was just thankful that they allowed us to give input and feedback. So throughout the whole editing process, there were kind of different little things, a little battle back and forth [about] how should it be. And I understand certain points, but it was just important to get our faith out there. You watch any other movie -- like Muhammad Ali [in "Ali"], it doesn't hold back his religion. Just because I'm a Christian, it doesn't mean that everyone who watches it has to be. It shares my faith, but it's not overdone and I think everyone can enjoy the film.

How much time will you get to spend in the ocean with the movie promotion?
It's kind of crazy. I'm on this trip, and I leave in a little over a week. I go straight to Australia [for the Legendary Pacific Coast Pro] and I have to compete. It should be interesting. I'm not expecting to win it or anything, because I haven't surfed for a week now. I'm [living] two different lives -- pro surfing and this movie coming out. It's hard to be away from the ocean.

Albert Pujols is off to a slow start, but a three-game series with the Pittsburgh Pirates could change that in a hurry.

The St. Louis Cardinals wouldn't mind some production from the three-time NL MVP as he looks to continue his dominance of the visiting Pirates on Monday night.

Pujols went 2 for 13 with a solo homer and grounded into four double plays as St. Louis opened the season by losing two of three to San Diego at Busch Stadium.

The nine-time All-Star was 0 for 4 in the series finale Sunday, but the Cardinals won 2-0 behind Jaime Garcia's four-hitter.

Pujols is in ideal position to shake his slump. The first baseman is a .374 lifetime hitter against Pittsburgh. His 134 RBIs versus the Pirates are his most against any opponent and his 45 homers are two fewer than his production against the Chicago Cubs.

He's batted a whopping .458 with six homers and 16 RBIs in his last 20 home meetings with the Pirates, and is 4 for 10 off their scheduled starter, Charlie Morton.

While Pujols tries to regain his stroke, Kyle Lohse is looking to regain the form that produced a career-high 15 wins in 2008 -- his first season with St. Louis. The right-hander has totaled 10 wins since while struggling with various injuries. He went 4-8 with a 6.55 ERA in 18 starts last year.

However, Lohse turned in a productive spring training, allowing five runs in 24 innings over five starts.

"He's already proven to us when he's healthy he's a quality pitcher," manager Tony La Russa told the Cardinals' official website. "He's healthy, and we have to keep him healthy, and he'll be fine. Then we have to do the rest of the stuff, play defense and score some runs."

Lohse is 5-1 with a 3.41 ERA in 10 games versus Pittsburgh.

The Pirates are off to a solid start after taking two of three at Chicago. They rallied for two runs in the ninth inning to earn a 5-4 victory Sunday.

Pittsburgh center fielder Andrew McCutchen missed the series finale due to a stiff neck stemming from a diving attempt at a fly ball Saturday. His status is unclear for Monday.

McCutchen has a .345 average with nine doubles and 13 runs over his last 16 meetings with the Cardinals, and is 8 for 19 in his last five games in St. Louis. He's 4 for 9 with two doubles off Lohse.

That sort of production might be essential with Morton on the mound. The right-hander went 2-12 with a 7.57 ERA in 17 starts last season.

"Any opportunity I get, I want to make the best of it," Morton said. "I honestly can say that I did everything I could last year, but what I was doing just didn't work. I think we've worked on some things and made some adjustments."

One of Morton's victories came against the Cardinals and Lohse on Sept. 22, when he allowed two runs and four hits in six innings while McCutchen went 2 for 3 with an RBI and two runs scored in Pittsburgh's 11-6 home win.

Lohse lasted just three innings and was tagged for six runs and seven hits.

The Pirates have dropped eight of their last nine games in St. Louis.

Most British Asian cricket fans thrive on their identity. But if I'm honest, I have struggled with mine. As England will find this summer when they meet both World Cup finalists, Sri Lanka and India, Asians in Britain are among cricket's most fervent supporters. Today, as passions brink on overspill in the restaurants and homes hosting World Cup get-togethers, I'll be thinking of all the old friends from school who branded me the ultimate "coconut". Raised in an Indian household, I am an unashamed England supporter.

Allegiance is central to sport - it gives a veneer of meaning to an otherwise trite pastime - but as I found, just what drives someone to support one team over another is no straightforward thing.

It was easier when I was younger. I supported England because they were the team I knew. Introduced to the game in time for the 1993 Ashes, there was no question of backing Australia, so England were my team. As each of the players and their conundrums became more familiar - Will Hick ever make another Test hundred? Has Fraser lost his "nip"? Should Stewart open? - the tie grew stronger. It was a whole six Test series before the ultimate question of allegiance was thrust upon me, and by then it was too late.
 WATCH LIVE India v Sri Lanka NOW
England v India in the summer of 1996? Of course I supported England, they were my boys. Childish rebellion drove me to scream my colours ever louder. Wedding receptions became my own, nonsensical underdog struggle as I raged against the family establishment that was instructing me to support India. I proudly passed the Tebbit Test, having no clue of the sentiment that underpinned it.

Familiarity and defiance may have once been the root of my support for England but at secondary school I learned just why it was so sacrilegious. Colonial history and the experience of Indian migrants in England gave an altogether weightier feeling to the question of allegiance. For my parents' generation, supporting India was about maintaining a connection to the old homeland. It was about sticking one in the eye of the coloniser. It was about expressing an identity that was mangled in the process of adapting to a new country.

My childish resistance quickly gave way to a more sombre assessment. Though I still supported England, I insisted that was the fault solely of coincidence. If the first series I watched had involved India, there would have been no question about following the family line. As it was, I glibly accepted my schoolmates' decree that I was brown on the outside and white on the inside. Visiting India as a young teenager I apologised for supporting the old enemy and swore earnestly that against anyone else, India was my team.

Fast-forward 15 years and the context has changed. Indian cricket can exert an influence even greater than the Anglo-Saxon colonisers could ever manage. The mammoth TV-viewing public offers advertisers a market they are prepared to spend vast swathes of cash reaching. The IPL is a chest-thumping celebration of a modern India that the world's best players are longing to play in, and the BCCI can dictate terms to the rest of the game. The on-field ascent to supremacy has followed, and MS Dhoni's side stand within one match of crowning the transition by claiming cricket's biggest global prize. Fair to say the new India offers little by way of romantic struggle.

For most British Indians, like my friend Shamik, the shadow of the past is still what matters. "Basically it's history," he said. "Even though financially the power rests with India now, the context of colonialism and family makes India the team I support." But for me it's different. I cheered when India floored the boorish Australian side in epic series through the 2000s, yet now find myself begging for someone to challenge the new top dogs.

So coming to the all-Asian final, I'm left with another tricky question of alliance. I'm proud the best two teams in the tournament are Asian and compelled by the backdrop of two subcontinental giants playing their final World Cup match. Cricket-wise there is little to pick between the two sides. My roots tie me to India but the draw of a small island-nation scrapping against the game's powerhouse is almost irresistible. With a day to go I can't quite decide, but come the toss a jolt in my gut will reveal the answer.

Preview:

The defending champions didn't make it, the mercurial outsiders stumbled, the strong contender choked, the Ashes winners ran out of gas, and after six weeks of high drama, we have come to this: the first all-Asian World-Cup final. And they deserve to be there: five of the top six run-getters, two out of top five wicket-takers, the fielder with the most catches and the wicketkeeper with the most dismissals will all be on show. The two teams have rallied around two of the best modern-day captains: MS Dhoni and Kumar Sangakkara.

Sangakkara is a fiercely ambitious man. Arjuna Ranatunga was almost the freedom fighter, infusing self-respect and clearing the colonial hangover, Mahela Jayawardene was the astute captain who brought so much tactical nous and cricketing intelligence, and Sangakkara is trying to add ruthlessness. Ranatunga pushed the boys to become men, Jayawardene made the men self-aware, and Sangakkara is trying to turn them ruthless. The evolutionary journey has produced a World Cup triumph, a runners-up finish and now, a chance to win it for the second time.

Sangakkara's dream, however, has been hit a nightmarish blow with the injury to Angelo Mathews. Even Muttiah Muralitharan won't be 100% fit. Mathews' absence severely affects the balance of the team and adds huge pressure on an already brittle lower-middle order, where Chamara Silva and Thilan Samaraweera haven't exactly set the tournament alight. Silva, who dazzled in the 2007 edition, has proved combustible in this tournament. Samaraweera is there to manage a collapse, and he did that really well in the curtailed game against Australia. Neither has Mathews' talent to turn a 225 score into 275.

To state the obvious, Sri Lanka will now heavily depend on Tillakaratane Dilshan, the captain and Mahela Jayawardene if they are to put up or chase down a daunting target. They will now have to bat with the knowledge that the lower middle order might not withstand a top-order collapse. Dilshan, though, is in great form, Sangakkara has looked as gritty as ever and while Jayawardene is yet to really flow, he can be always be counted on to come good in pressure games. And Sri Lanka have a varied bowling attack to defend even relatively unsafe totals and the ability to restrict the opposition from piling up too much.

MS Dhoni is a quietly ambitious man. Sourav Ganguly was passionate, Rahul Dravid was process driven, Anil Kumble led from the front with his grit, while Dhoni has been an intuitive captain. He is level-headed, and shrewd enough to marry passion and process. He has soaked up the pressure of being India's captain, is smart enough to know the value of his own brand, and keeps his star-heavy team rolling smoothly with the aid of Gary Kirsten. India's previous two victories, against Australia and Pakistan, have ironed out many of the flaws seen earlier in the tournament. However, those two wins also raise the question of India being emotionally drained. Do they have fuel left in them to raise their game one final time?

The batsmen, who had perhaps tried too hard to compensate for the relatively weak bowling attack by trying to do too much in the end overs and collapsed in the batting Powerplay, seem more aware of identifying a viable target. Someone or other has taken charge during tricky chases. Yuvraj Singh showed tenacity in the chase against Australia, and Suresh Raina maturity in his shot selection against Pakistan.

The poor performance in the early part of the tournament seems to have freed up the bowlers. Expectations are lower and the pressure is off in some ways, allowing them to show better discipline and skill. Munaf Patel has greater control over his legcutters and Harbhajan Singh has slowed up the pace to give himself a better chance to take wickets.

In the last two years, Sri Lanka and India have won eight games apiece against each other. In the last year, the record stands 4-3 in Sri Lanka's favour. In their last five encounters in India, though, the record stands 3-1, with one no result, in the home side's favour. However, these two teams have played each other so often - tomorrow's final will be the 30th time since July 2008- that they should know everything there is to know about each other.

Watch out for...

Sachin Tendulkar has the records, the mountain of runs and memorable Man-of-the-Match performances but there are a few things that have eluded him: a Test innings like Brian Lara's 153, a Ponting-esque record in World Cup finals and, indeed, a winner's medal. He has openly talked about his thirst for that World Cup triumph and has played his part in India's journey to Mumbai by being their top scorer. Will he achieve his dream tomorrow?

Muttiah Muralitharan has written some great scripts for himself: a memorable last Test match where he took the last wicket to get to the magical 800, a fabulous performance almost on one leg in his last ODI at home and now, with one World Cup winner's medal in the bag, he has the chance to end with another. He will fancy his chances against the Indian middle-order; he is likely to go around the stumps and aim for lbws with his off breaks and edges with his doosras. Can he script yet another great farewell?

Virender Sehwag's knock against Pakistan, defying the nerves of a World Cup semi-final, was vital in ensuring India could soak up the middle-over wobbles and reach a competitive score. If there is one man who can put up a nerveless display again in the final, it's him. It will be interesting to see how he plays the Sri Lankan spinners. Will he continue to, as he has done during this tournament and perished a few times, try hitting the spinners almost solely through the off side?

Mahela Jayawardene hasn't scored much after that 100 against Canada but all along, and even ahead of the tournament, he has been talking about his itch to perform in the big games. He has the skills to tame the Indian attack and the elegance to do it in style. It was a hundred in the semi-final of the 2007 World Cup against New Zealand that proved a major turning point in his career. "That hundred gave me confidence that I can do it at this big stage," Jayawardene said. "Ever since that moment I have probably lifted my game quite a bit and turned into a big-match player." Will he turn up for Sri Lanka tomorrow?

Team news

Ashish Nehra has been ruled out of the final and the Indian camp hasn't made it clear whether R Ashwin or Sreesanth will play. This is what Dhoni said when asked a direct question: "That is a tricky one. If you see the Mumbai track there is a bit of pace and bounce for the seamers initially. Also if there is reverse swing going the third seamer can have an impact on the game. At the same time if the three seamers are bowling well I can easily manoeuvre the bowling. But with four spinners and two fast bowlers there is not much room to manoeuvre too much."

And just when you think that's a clear hint Sreesanth will play, Dhoni adds, "If one of the fast bowlers has an off day it gets difficult. Still, not to forget, in whatever opportunities Ashwin got so far he has done really well. We have confidence in him. But we have not yet thought our bowling combination yet."

India (probable): 1 Virender Sehwag, 2 Sachin Tendulkar, 3 Gautam Gambhir, 4 Virat Kohli, 5 Yuvraj Singh, 6 MS Dhoni (capt & wk), 7 Suresh Raina, 8 Harbhajan Singh, 9 Zaheer Khan, 10 Sreesanth/Ashwin, 11 Munaf Patel.

Sri Lanka have drafted Suraj Randiv into the squad but in Mathews' absence they will most likely turn to Thisara Perera, who almost doubles his career average of 19, and has a strike rate of 146.98, when he plays against India. It remains to be seen whether they will take the brave decision to play Randiv ahead of Rangana Herath. Randiv has played 13 games against India, with 12 wickets at an economy rate of 4.57, while Herath has played just one game against India. Herath has been playing regularly in this tournament, though, while Randiv has been drafted in from the cold.

Sri Lanka (probable) 1 Tillakaratne Dilshan, 2 Upul Tharanga, 3 Kumar Sangakkara (capt & wk), 4 Mahela Jayawardene, 5 Chamara Silva, 6 Thilan Samaraweera, 7 Thisara Perera, 8 Lasith Malinga, 9 Nuwan Kulasekara, 10 Muttiah Muralitharan, 11 Suraj Randiv/Rangana Herath.

Pitch and conditions

The hot summer has transformed the nature of the pitch from the one on which Sri Lanka beat New Zealand. It's a dry surface and the curator Sudhir Naik was quoted in Times of India as saying that 260-270 will be an excellent score batting first.

There have been only ten day-night games at this venue and Sri Lanka achieved the highest successful chase, overhauling India's 225 in 1997. The highest score by a team batting second under lights is 250. The chasing team has won four out of ten games under lights though.

Stats and trivia

# Dhoni's career ODI average is 48.04 but it falls to 22.37, with a highest score of 34, in 11 World-Cup games.

# The Sri Lankan openers average 97.90 at a strike-rate of 90.10, while the Indian openers average 53.90 at a strike-rate of 102.06.

# India have a better DRS record than Sri Lanka. India have made 14 appeals out of which three have been successful. Sri Lanka have had only one successful appeal in 10 attempts.

# Yuvraj Singh is the third Indian, after Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid, with five fifties in a single World Cup.

Quotes

"I am a bit concerned about Sri Lanka's middle order. Mahela Jayawardene has failed to fire and the middle order is struggling a fair deal."
Arjuna Ranatunga, former world-cup winning captain, sweats over potential pitfalls

"You want to end the tournament on a good note. It's a big game for all of us. Irrespective of what the result is I am proud of the team I have."
MS Dhoni on the eve of the final


Walking in to the freshly rebuilt Wankhede Stadium the day before the World Cup final, the most arresting visuals are the huge hoardings featuring Indian cricketers in body paint and primal scream. There's MS Dhoni looking slightly out of character; there are Harbhajan Singh and Virat Kohli in an extension of their on-field persona; and there is Virender Sehwag looking brooding and intense.
The two best teams in the tournament, and by no coincidence led by the two finest captains, will contest the final. Nothing can be better for what has been an outstanding event. The World Cup has given new life to the 50-over game and it has been hosted with great passion in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and in India. Now it has a dream final.

India will start favourites because they seem the more rounded of the two sides. They have players for most occasions and have batting match-winners of extraordinary pedigree. More important, as the tournament draws to a close, they seem to have a better idea of the combination they must believe will bring the World Cup home.

Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar are the best opening pair of the tournament, though by sheer weight of runs Upul Tharanga and Tillakaratne Dilshan will contest that. After the 175 against Bangladesh, Sehwag has been playing cameos, a bit like a brilliant actor working two shifts and leaving quickly after having delivered his lines impeccably. But even if he only does that, he makes it much easier for the batsmen to follow; especially, he takes the load off Tendulkar, who, apart from a quixotic phase in the semi-final, is batting as well as he ever has. The one thing he doesn't have in his gallery, a winner's medal, is a step away and I will be very interested in seeing how he keeps ambition at arm's length in the final.

India have resolved what is becoming a key position in this World Cup: Suresh Raina has batted with much confidence against Australia and Pakistan. Truly he has won back his spot and it has been wonderful to see him field, an area India are rather thinly endowed in. And Dhoni's extraordinary handling of Yuvraj Singh means he has the option of playing an extra seamer as he did against Pakistan. By working on his bowling Yuvraj has given himself the time to rediscover his batting form, paradoxical as that might seem.

India will come to Mumbai with their confidence soaring after back-to-back wins against opponents against whom they have had their most bruising encounters. And I have no doubt that Dhoni will not allow a win against Pakistan to be rated higher than any other. It cannot be so. It was a semi-final, not a final.

Indeed, Dhoni's leadership has been outstanding. He has backed his hunches and taken calls that might have seemed bizarre at the time, but always he has stayed calm and in control. It is a wonderful quality for a leader to possess. Having taken India to a World Twenty20 title, to the No. 1 spot in Test cricket, he now has the opportunity of winning a World Cup.

Arrayed in front of him are Kumara Sangakkara's mild, humble men, who become mighty competitors on a cricket ground. They have the most wonderfully innovative bowlers, men with unique styles and actions and who come at you from different angles. The top four batsmen are in brilliant form, and like India they are led by a man with extraordinary poise and assurance. Unlike India, though, they haven't quite ticked all their boxes yet.

Dilshan, Tharanga and Sangakkara have batted with great assurance, but after them, Mahela Jayawardene, another big-match player, hasn't had enough time in the middle, and Nos. 5, 6 and 7 appear a bit fragile. I believe Angelo Mathews should be the highest of those numbers, but he seemed to be in some pain in the quarter-final. If he is handicapped, and cannot bowl, for example, the Sri Lankans will lose the one outstanding feature they possess: the balance to the side. Mathews must bowl, otherwise the bowlers will start r at home fetched another and led to a comfortable win in the World Cup semi-final. Injury or not, who'd bet against him bowing on one leg and walking off the field with a handsome smile?

Fans in the subcontinent can sometimes be accused of missing the bigger picture by obsessing with individuals and certainly no one man can win the World Cup by himself. But that Tendulkar and Murali lend this World Cup final a certain poignancy and romance is unquestionable. Neither deserves disappointment but that's the cruelty of sport: for one dream realised tomorrow, there will be one broken. Murali has already been part of a World Cup-winning team but, if India lose tomorrow, Tendulkar will never know the feeling.

Neither deserves disappointment but that's the cruelty of sport: for one dream realised tomorrow, there will be one broken. Murali has already been part of a World Cup-winning team but, if India lose tomorrow, Tendulkar will never know the feeling.

       

Their craft and ways are different, but there are remarkable similarities between Tendulkar and Murali. Their careers have almost run concurrently and they have built records that are unlikely to be ever broken. Neither has allowed fame to corrupt them or divert them from their path. Both have made their nations proud not merely by their achievements on the field, but also with the dignity and grace they have conducted themselves off it. The controversies that Murali's action generated were not of his making; if anything, the way he has dealt with them has merely enhanced his reputation. And if Tendulkar can be accused of anything it is of being too reticent.

They have even had similar rivals. When they dazzled, Brian Lara and Shane Warne were more magical and compelling, but Tendulkar and Murali have endured because their devotion to the game was purer and they allowed nothing to distract them. And over the years they have become strong symbols of national identity in a way Lara and Warne could never have become.

And from their team-mates they have not merely earned respect but genuine affection. Murali has always been the soul of the Sri Lankan dressing room. Both Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara spoke endearingly about what a "nuisance" Murali is with his constant chattering about cricket. "He perhaps thinks he knows more about batting than Sachin," Jayawardene said. Murali, already a star, was the first team-mate to take him out for a meal when Jayawardene was a nobody, and he was neither the first nor the last one to receive his kindness. "Murali is always there for you," Jayawardene said.

occupd the last three haven't been - it will not take away from what has been a really good World Cup.

One cricketer is significant by his absence. Sachin Tendulkar doesn't endorse this cola brand anymore.

But just as well. For all of India, the World Cup has built itself up for the perfect finale, the dream finish: The Indian team winning it as the perfect gift for its greatest ever cricketer. It would complete the Sachin Tendulkar story. Throw in the hundredth hundred and the whole nation could die in peace. But Tendulkar isn't the only legend due a fairytale. There is another team in the match and what a farewell would it be for Muttiah Muralitharan, Sri Lanka's greatest cricketer.

And if precedent is anything to go by, the force is with Murali. The final ball of his Test career yielded a wicket, his 800th. The final ball of his international caree
Tendulkar has never been as effusive by nature but, from all accounts, young players are drawn to him. Unlike some of his predecessors whose presence was intimidating, Tendulkar has been a calming influence in the dressing room, leading not merely by example but by doing little things to put at ease younger players who might have otherwise been star-struck by him.

If there is anything lacking between them, it's the absence of the kind of rivalry forged between either Tendullkar and Warne, and Murali and Lara. Leave aside a grand series, or full innings or a spell, it's hard to remember a moment of magic involving them. And remarkably, even though India and Sri Lanka have played each other incessantly in the last few years, our ball-by-ball records show only 91 balls in ODIs and 366 balls in Tests between Tendulkar and Murali.

ying positions from No. 7, and that would be dangerous. It must be a worry, too, that neither Thilan Samaraweera nor Chamara Silva has looked in good form. Sri Lanka look vulnerable if someone can penetrate their excellent top order early.

Hopefully Muttiah Muralitharan will be ready for the big day. He has had an extraordinary sense of drama to his life, picking up wickets with the last balls he bowled in Tests and in one-dayers in his country. Winning a World Cup and retiring would be a dream come true. In the home dressing room, too, they will be aware that the best present they can give Tendulkar is a World Cup medal. There will be some emotion in both camps.

Hopefully it will be a match worthy of a final, but even if it isn't - an

The World Cup can have only one winner tomorrow. Neither Tendulkar nor Murali would mind personal failure in their final World Cup match if their team ends up on the winner's podium. For cricket's sake, though, let's pray that these two titans rouse each other to a battle worthy of them.

Movies collections were dropped in inverse proportion to that. India vs Australia quarter final did major damage to tinsel town. The collections on that day were ranging from 20 to 30% on a whole.

Now India vs Pakistan are gearing up for the semi final match and it is likely for the collections to dip further. Imagine what would be the damage if India reaches final. As they are helpless as of now, producers are patiently waiting for the cricket tide to go away.

Prediction:
Being a optimistic Indian, I prefer India to win the defending champions Australia and enter the semifinals taking on rivals Pakistan opposite to us.
Now let us compare the strengths and lacking points of both the teams and jump into a probable conclusion on the optimistically predicted India Vs Pakistan semifinals.

India Vs Pakistan Semifinal – Pressure factor:
Obviously any cricketing side would feel the pressure in a semi-final match irrespective of whatever nation they are playing against since World Cup happens to the most prestigious trophy which all the countries dream of. Added to this India and Pakistan being rival countries, will have the expectation level of the fans at soaring heights.

India will feel intense heat since they happen to be co-hosts of the World Cup 2011. The breather factor is that India will not be playing their semifinal in India if they happen to meet Pakistan.

Batting-maestro-Sachin-Tendulkar

India Vs Pakistan Semifinal – Bowling lineup:
As some of the Asian pitches have been turned as perfect bowling tracks, bowling becomes an important factor for winning matches. On the Pakistani side Umar Gul, Abdul Razzaq, Shahid Afridi and Saeed Ajmal are in good form. Moreover a bowling pitch might favor Pakistan better than India as Pakistan have won the match against Canada and mighty Australia through their bowling capabilities.

Indians are still trailing behind international bowling standards with only Zaheer Khan and Munaf Patel reaching the expectation levels. Part time bowlers Yuvraj, Raina and Yusuf are doing a good job for quickly completing the slog overs.

abdul razzaq
India Vs Pakistan Semifinal – Batting Strengths:
India has a mighty batting lineup when compared to the Pakistanis. Sachin Tendulkar, Gautham Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh and injured Shewag are the key batsmen in the Indian side. If the openers fail, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh and skipper MS Dhoni can do the patch work in t he middle overs and handover the scoring chances for Yusuf Pathan (don't forget Bhajji)in the last 10 overs.

Considering the Pakistani batting department Kamran Akmal, Younis Khan, Umar Akmal, Abdul Razzaq are playing free flowing cricket. Kamran Akmal and Umar Akmal have the ability of scoring quick and fast which would provide a good start for the Pakistanis. Younis Khan will work out the singles and doubles to keep the score board ticking in the middle overs and Abdul Razzaq and Misbah are perfect match finishers.
