We are extremely sorry about the gap in posting. There was a problem on our end with management and duties which left the whole thing unattended. However, we are back again, with a slightly different team.

Hope you can stick around and let us bring you the latest in sports entertainment for India.

The Scottish Premier League, currently known as the Clydesdale Bank Premier League for sponsorship reasons and often known as the Scottish Premier League, Premier League or SPL is a professional league competition for football clubs located at the top level of the Scottish football league system — above the Scottish Football League.

Here are the 2008 schedules for those matches to be aired on Indian Television, specifically, Ten Sports India.

August 10th - 3:00 - 5:00 - Falkirk v Rangers
August 11th - 3:00 - 5:00 - Celtic v St. Mirren
August 18th - 3:30 - 5:30 - Dundee Utd v Celtic
August 24th - 3:30 - 5:30 - Aberdeen v Rangers

And that’s it for August. Wake me up when September begins.

Continuing the test series between India and Sri Lanka, the 3rd test will be aired Live on Ten Sports India. 

The second Sri Lanka vs India Test match schedules are as follows:
August 8th
10:15 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. - Day 1 Session 1
12:55 p.m. - 2:55 p.m. - Day 1 Session 2
3:15 p.m. - 5:15 p.m. - Day 1 Session 3

The rest of the days, from 9th August to 12th August, follow a very similar timing.

Wikipedia: The 2008 AFC Challenge Cup football tournament will be hosted by India from July 30 to August 10, 2008. Chinese Taipei was the designated host, but could not guarantee it would meet the AFC’s standards for hosting the tournament.

The winners of the 2008 and 2010 competitions will qualify for the Asian Cup 2011. This competition is exclusive to the lower ranking Asian nations. However, in the previous edition, Bangladesh and India were invited from the middle-ranking teams - Bangladesh actually hosting the tournament, and India sending their U-20 team. According to a source from Bangladesh, as well as the 16 lower-ranking teams (apparently not including Macao), India and Bangladesh have again been invited for the 2008 tournament from the middle tier of nations, along with North Korea and Laos.

The group stages are over and now it is time for the Semi-finals and Final. These will be aired Live on ESPN India. 

August 7th.
3:55 p.m. India vs Myanmar.
6:55 p.m. Korea vs Tajikhstan.

August 10th
3:55 p.m. Finals.  

Smith was a doubt after missing both practice days because of a back problem suffered during the tour match against Bangladesh A at Worcester.

But the opener came through his fitness test, although doubts must remain about whether he is in prime physical condition.

Smith’s selection meant South Africa made only one change to their winning line-up from Headingley, with strike bowler Dale Steyn ruled out with a fractured left thumb and replaced by Andre Nel.

England had made two changes, with Darren Pattinson and Stuart Broad dropped out in place of Paul Collingwood and Ryan Sidebottom. Sidebottom passed a fitness test yesterday on his recent back problem and will take his bowling attack including James Anderson, Andrew Flintoff and Monty Panesar.

The Edgbaston pitch looks is not expected to help the bowlers, although it could take spin later in the match.

The 4th Test of South Africa’s tour of England will air Live on Star Cricket India at the following timings.

6th August
3:28 - 5:30 p.m. - Test 4 Day 1 First session.
6:00 - 11:00 p.m. - Test 4 Day 1 Second Session.  

The rest of the days will follow a similar timing with Day 5 aired on the 10th of August. 

India’s tour has started miserably and unless they can lift themselves in all three departments of the game, they will find it difficult to win the series.

Only VVS Laxman managed to score a fifty while four of Sri Lanka’s top six crossed the three-figure mark. India’s bowlers had to be content with six wickets as Muralitharan and Mendis picked up wickets in heaps. The fielding and catching wasn’t up to the mark either.

But Gautam Gambhir has shrugged off the defeat as a one-off and says the Indian team is positive despite the thrashing at Colombo. He also emphasised the need to bat more patiently against Sri Lanka’s spin twins.

Sri Lanka captain Jayawardene is expecting a good fightback from the Indians. “I am sure they are very disappointed after the first Test, but we know how good they are. They will definitely come very strong at us and we have to be prepared for that,” Jayawardene told reporters. Jayawardene, who has scored 9 centuries at SSC has an enviable record at Galle too, averaging 99.21 in 12 tests.

The second Sri Lanka vs India Test match schedules are as follows:
July 31st.
10:15 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. - Day 1 Session 1
12:55 p.m. - 2:55 p.m. - Day 1 Session 2
3:15 p.m. - 5:15 p.m. - Day 1 Session 3

The rest of the days, from 1st August to 4th August, follow a very similar timing.

Word is that DD National will be broadcasting the remainder of the Euro 2008 games for the entire Indian population to see. DD hasn’t put out any official time table so you will have to rely on the ESPN timetable for the matches. 

Note that we haven’t confirmed this yet. We will let you know as soon as we do. Note that we haven’t confirmed this yet. We will let you know as soon as we do. In the meantime, here’s the fixtures for the semi-finals of Euro 2008. 

Semi-finals

Final

Casey Stoner proved uncatchable for his MotoGP rivals as he cruised to a second Donington Park victory in as many years. The 2007 World Champion was the fastest off the line from pole position, taking the kind of runaway win typical of his title winning year at the bwin.com British Grand Prix.

With his second triumph of the season, Stoner moved his way up to third in the overall classification. The two riders ahead of him in the standings, Valentino Rossi and Dani Pedrosa, were involved in an entertaining battle some seven seconds back, trading places repeatedly at the midway point of the race. Riding in his 200th Grand Prix, Fiat Yamaha rider Rossi eventually won out, continuing a seven race run of podium finishes in 2008.

Repsol Honda’s Pedrosa also has seven rostrum appearances to his name this year, and came in third at the scene of his 2006 victory. His consistency keeps up the pressure on series leader Rossi, who he trails by just eleven points.

ESPN: Felipe Massa won his third race of the season, and with it took over the lead of the F1 world championship for the first time.

In taking the chequered flag in the French Grand Prix at Magny-Cours, and on a momentous day for Massa, he also became the first Brazilian to top the drivers’ standings since his hero in Ayrton Senna led the way 15 years ago.

Massa now leads an enthralling four-way title race by two points from BMW Sauber’s Robert Kubica, and five from Ferrari team-mate Kimi Raikkonen who came home second at the Circuit de Nevers. read all »

The Championships, Wimbledon (commonly referred to as Wimbledon) is the oldest tennis championship in the world. It is one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments and the only one played on grass courts. Although I’m sure any tennis fan already knows all of this and more.

So without further ado, here’s how its going to happen on Indian television. Star Sports India will broadcast the matches Live. The matches will begin at 4:00 p.m. going right up to 11:30 p.m.

To check out the draw for the tournament, head over to the Wimbledon website, where they have complete details of who is playing whom and a flash based Slamtracker which is very convenient. read all »

Kimi Raikkonen took Ferrari’s 200th pole position on Saturday as he and team mate Felipe Massa dominated qualifying for the French Grand Prix. Others may have set the practice pace, but when it mattered the red cars had a small but crucial margin over McLaren in the final sector. Raikkonen put in a lap of 1m 16.449s compared to Massa’s 1m 16.490s. 

Lewis Hamilton was third despite admitting to making mistakes on the exit to Turn Seven on each of his fast laps. His best time was 1m 16.693s which dislodged Renault’s Fernando Alonso (1m 16.840s) and Toyota’s Jarno Trulli (1m 16.920s), but the Englishman will start 13th when his ten-place grid penalty from Montreal is taken into account. He must, incidentally, run the same fuel load as that with which he qualified, even though he starts outside the top 10.

Unfortunately, our Giancarlo Fisichella and Adrian Sutil came in 18th and 19th position respectively. Tough luck Force India, tough luck.

The Race day itself starts at 4:30 p.m. on the 22nd, with the actual race starting at 5:15 p.m. on Star Sports.
