Asteroid kills Australian cricket team

V Awards is a project initiated by UN Volunteers and the IYV+10 National Steering Committee in collaboration with News 1st as this year marks the 10th anniversary of the International Year of Volunteers [IYV+10]. The concept behind this project is to honour individuals who make extraordinary and selfless contributions to society. It is a noted fact, that Sri Lanka lacks a solid platform which recognizes the enormous contributions made by volunteers to the economy and society at large. V Awards aims to fill this void. This initiative is designed to recognize and reward the most outstanding volunteer contributions at a national level.The V Awards Grand finale held on 21st January2012 at Stein Studios, Rathmalana. "To Honour.To Salute".

An under-pressure BCCI today promised "corrective measures" after the Indian cricket team was humbled 0-4 by Australia in the Test series but refused to comment on the future of the struggling senior players, saying that remains in the hands of selectors. Struggling to explain the debacle, senior BCCI functionary Rajiv Shukla conceded, "We haven't performed well, everyone accepted that...the Australians played very well and we all recognise that. We are equally concerned and certainly corrective measures will be taken." Shukla, also the IPL chairman, pinned his hopes on the ODI tri-series, also featuring Sri Lanka, starting February 5. He hoped that the team would script a recovery in the shorter format. "...we hope that we will do well in the ODI series, the BCCI President has also expressed this feeling. We are quite optimistic about the ODI series. Sometimes it happens, our top batsmen were not in form. We should accept this fact," said Shukla. www.youtube.com/starnews
