wishlist for Twitter lists and hashtags

sending @messages to Lists?, Info page for each list, @messages to #tags rather than users, following #tags rather than just users...

Twitter recently added lists as a feature to enable users to group tweets from selected persons for a specific purpose. For instance, my interests are in technology, publishing, sports and travel. It obviously helps if I can, at times, 'listen' to a subset of tweets from friends who fit one of the above interest areas. Also, others can then follow one of my lists, as they find a group of persons which fit a context.

Why did India lose to Australia, ODI 2009?

In chess terms- it is actually about a major prophylactic option, which could have put India in strong positions but they missed.

India were expected to beat an Australian side which was depleted, at home. Like many others, I too felt that the Aussie bowling would not last out 7 games with too much reliance of seamers and only one spinner- Hauritz- who was good but not lethal for sure.

Yuvraj Singh Dot Chess!

India vs Australia, 3rd ODI 2009, New Delhi
Indian lead 2-1

The Kotla Pitch in New Delhi, as usual, was slow and low with an uneven bounce. Ponting won the toss and batted first. He mentioned 225 as a par score and it turned out that it was a fair call, as India had to work hard to get there.
