Cricket - August 2013

Investec Ashes - 2013

England won the series (3-0).
White Wash it will be but because this is Ashes, we will keep it simple and easy "England retained the ashes".
It was a good fight from Australia but the best team won. Now its time for some more action inform of T20s.

Zimbabwe v Pakistan - 2013

Pakistan has already secured the T20 series with 2-0 victory, and Ahmad Shehzad's out class knock played the main role. But nevertheless the Pakistan's spinner also played the role. For Example: In the First T20 match Pakistan's Icon Star Shahid Afridi took 3 wickets. In the Second T20, the skipper took away the match from Zimbabwe by taking 3 wickets. 

Up next in the series are 3 One Day Internationals. A chance for Pakistani players to improve their records and for Zimbabwe to strike back and show what they really got. Looking back to the India's visit of Zimbabwe proves that Zimbabwe surely do have the power to take Pakistan's world class spinners and strong bowling attacks from the fast bowlers.  

The ODIs will start on 27 August and will finish on 31 August, with 1 day gap. 

In the U.K, the Zee Cinema seems to be showing the tour.

Playstation...

Sony has announced the new Playstation 4. So if you are waiting then your "wait" is over. On 20/02/2013, Sony announced its new PS, in New York. This new Play Station is designed to give user a feel of those lost graphics and boldness which they imagine.

This Japanese Electronics manufacturer has changed the few ways, as expected. There is an addition of a new technology called streaming or cloud gaming, which will allow customers to remotely play games.

"The consumer is changing us," said Andrew House, head of Sony's PlayStation division. "The living room is no longer the center of the PlayStation ecosystem; the gamer is."

The company also said it developed a new social-networking service that allows customers to upload gameplay footage to the Internet, as well as watch others as they play. The service will connect to existing social networks, Sony said, as well as to mobile devices that will tap into many of the features offered on the PlayStation 4.

The Sony has also upgraded the controller designed with an integrated touchpad and new button dedicated to sharing game information; it also displayed an upgraded motion-control camera product.

This giant's products is expected to go on in Summer 2013 and prices will be also released at the same time.

Mercedes Benz's New Buzz

In late 2012, Mercedes benz launched its innovation and it was thought to be most beautiful and attracting thing ever. Yes I am talking about the new A Class. But when it came to reviews, Safety & Security and Performance got 4.5 on average whereas Buying & Owning and Ride & Handling only got 2 on average (shocking). But we are talking about Mercedes Benz and equipment is the second name of Mercedes. The reviews suggests that Mercedes is always a fully loaded car and same with the new A Class.

But I am not here to talk about the Launched Model of Mercedes. I am here to talk about the new A Class AMG. Yes Mercedes Benz has revealed the new A45 AMG. 

The new A45 AMG comes with 2.0l Petrol turbocharged, seven-speed, dual-clutch semi-auto gearbox as standard and also with 0-62mph time of 4.6 seconds and a limited top speed of 155mph.

This 355bhp producing maching will cost £36,000 and order booking will start in March 2013.
