We won’t be intimidated by Melbourne crowd: Strauss
MELBOURNE: England will not be intimidated by a Melbourne Cricket Ground packed with a hostile Australian crowd for the fourth Ashes test, captain Andrew Strauss said on Saturday.
The test gets underway on Sunday and officials have talked up the possibility of a record attendance for a cricket ground at the cauldron-like MCG on the first day.
Strauss’s counterpart, Ricky Ponting, took a psychological swipe at England’s youthful side, saying he thought they could find the atmosphere intimidating with the five-test series delicately poised at 1-1.
“I’m sure he does,” Strauss said of Ponting following England’s final training session at the MCG. “I don’t think we will, no. One of the things that’s important is that you’re ready for it and you’re not surprised by it.
ISS marks decade in space
The International Space Station celebrates its 10th birthday a decade of constant service. It is the longest period of continuous human habitation outside the atmosphere of the Earth.
The first permanent crew reached the International Space Station on November 2, 2000. It is arguably humanity’s most ambitious engineering project to date, a mixture of science, technology and political cooperation between former sworn enemies.
In the 10 years since, the ISS has expanded to the size of a football field, and received 200 visitors. Now the station is nearly complete, but the jury on what it has achieved is still out.
The ISS is a breakthrough of cooperation, said Yury Gidzenko from ISS Expedition 1. Before, there were separate space agencies. Now they work together. It is a leap forward.
