On Friday, one of Australian cricket's steadiest and coollest batsman Damien Martyn announced his retirement from international cricket. Now while this is not news in itself, what is so special about this bit of information is the absolutely professional way in which both Martyn and cricket Australia handled this whole affair.

A brief background to this story would have to include the fact that Martyn ever since his debut in late 1992 has been a regular contributor to the Australian juggernaut. He was an integral part of the Aussies regular Ashes wins over the old enemy, and he was also a part of Mark Taylor and Steve Waugh's amazing Aussie team which all but conquered the world.

Ok, here goes the Dhoom-2 review as promised in an earlier post. Yes, I couldn't quite watch the movie in its first week in theatres, but isn't that a testimony of the fact that it is running to packed houses (which is why it was made in the first place).

Honestly, I came out a little disappointed with the movie. Although the trailer promises a slick action-packed movie with breathtaking stunts and the like, the only action sequences in the movie are pretty much covered in the trailer itself.
