Ajith shed weight

Apr 1, 2010: Ajith Kumar has shed about 12 kilos to take part actively in the FIA Formula 2 championship. This will be the actor's third season in international racing after his 2003 debut in the Formula BMW Asia championship in Korea and the 2004 British Formula 3 Scholarship Class, where he scored two podium finishes.

'I have the confidence of achieving some success in this year's FIA Formula 2 European Championships. I have already done some testing in Malaysia recently and am looking forward to more practice runs in Snetterton and Silverstone before the event kicks off on April 16,' he says.

Ajith adds: 'I hope my participation along with the other two Indians, Armaaan Ebrahim and Parthiva Sureshwaran will create the right amount of interest in the sport in India.'

F2 Series Director Jonathan Palmer said: 'I am delighted to welcome Ajith to F2. To have a well known Indian film star who has demonstrated such ambition now racing in F2 is very exciting for the championship, and I really admire Ajith's determination and enthusiasm.'

Haydos the Hero.

It was amazing to see a man shining high  at IPL, sending the ball out of the park, almost every bowler he faced.. To my surprise it was not a young guy doing this, but a 38 yrs old macho, who was a great threat to opposition.. This Australian cricketer drove my attentions which predilection me to find some interesting fact about him. I feel great to share those information about this great cricketer with my viewers.

Last weeks fiasco

Last weeks Western Warriors poor performance is due N number of reasons. Among those reason three things stands in the front. First of all the poor short selection by the batsman resulted in a slow start which never led the run rate to climb above 4. Next is the discipline of the bowlers which failed to pick wickets at regular interval. Finally sluggish fielding failed to convert those half chances.So what are the necessary skill that should be developed in order to end the match on winning note. Members of the Western Warriors team are invited to post your suggestions on the above topic.
