Dhoni back at No. 1 in ODI rankings

Good news for me and my country people that Dhoni the indicant cricket team skipper is again on TOP of ICC ranking. I read it on ndtv’s website.

 

India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni toppled his South African counterpart Greame Smith to regain the top spot in the latest ICC ranking for ODI batsmen.

 

By virtue of his consistent performance, including 76 and 71 in the pevious two one-dayers of the on-going ODI series against Sri Lanka, Dhoni has 803 rating points in his kitty, 27 points higher than Smith who occupies the second spot.

 

Dhoni had previously occupied the number one position for a brief period in 2006.

 

Australia captain Ricky Ponting is in the third spot with 751 points followed by team-mate Michael Hussey and England skipper Kevin Pietersen.

 

Master blaster Sachin Tendulkar is placed the ninth while an out of form Yuvraj Singh is languishing at 18th.

 

Meanwhile, comeback man Zaheer Khan is the lone Indian bowler in the top 20 ODI bowlers chart in the 14th spot with 642 rating points.

 

Australia’s Nathan Bracken leads the table, followed by Kiwi skipper Daniel Vettori, team-mate Shane Bond, England youngster Stuart Broad and Sri Lankan spin wizard Muttiah Muralitharan.

 

However, no Indian representation is there in the all-rounders chart which is being led by Pakistan skipper Shaoib Malik. England’s Andrew Flintoff and Kiwi Jacob Oram find themselves in the second and third position respectively.

 

Although India has already pocketed the five-match ODI series against the Lankans with one match to go, but it didn’t help Twenty20 World Champions to move up the ODI championship table as they find themselves in the fourth spot.

 

Australia continued to lead the pack, followed by South Africa and New Zealand.

Nature Love -1

Nature, in the broadest sense, is equivalent to the natural world, physical universe, material world or material universe. “Nature” refers to the phenomena of the physical world, and also to life in general. Manufactured objects and human interaction are not considered part of nature unless qualified in ways such as “human nature” or “the whole of nature”. Nature is generally distinguished from the supernatural. It ranges in scale from the subatomic to the galactic.

The word nature is derived from the Latin word natura, or “the course of things, natural character.” Natura was a Latin translation of the Greek word physis (φύσις), which originally related to the intrinsic characteristics that plants, animals, and other features of the world develop of their own accord.[2] This is shown in the first written use of the word φύσις, in connection with a plant. The concept of nature as a whole, the physical universe, is one of several expansions of the original notion; it began with certain core applications of the word φύσις by pre-Socratic philosophers, and has steadily gained currency ever since. This usage was confirmed during the advent of modern scientific method in the last several centuries.

A Time for Prayer

This spiritual linkage also nurtures forgiveness to the point that the leader learns not to blame others for his shortcomings.  Instead one discovers the wisdom to shed excess baggage and, feeding off a reservoir of positive energy, to resume his life’s journey from a fresh perspective. At the same time, one learns the virtue of sacrifice, the ability to endure pain and suffering for a higher purpose.  He also becomes more resilient, better able to bounce back from adversity.

 

Each time the leader rediscovers or reaffirms his place in the universe, he draws power from that inner spirit – what Oriented philosophers refers to as chi and what Star Wars mythology has made popular as the “Force”.  In simple terms, it is the ennobling and enabling power of love, a boundless spiritual energy that keeps him mindful and appreciative of every living moment.

 

Armed with this, the leader is able to live – not just articulate – the values and principles he stands for.  From there, he has only to commit his best and trust that he will find the right way for others to follow.
