This is one of the most common problems which people do face but they don't know yet how to embed images..

So here is the solution which worked for many and me..

1) Open the Gmail web page and login to your account

2) Navigate to the top left of your screen, and look for the Documents link

3) Click on Documents to open a new window called Google Docs

You are now working inside the Google Doc interface. All menu selections are now to be done within the Google Docs interface. Not your web browser menu bar

4) Click on New (inside Google Docs), a pull down window will appear. Select Document from the list

5) Click Insert; and a Menu will open with this window

6) Click on Image in the horizontal menu; the Insert Image dialog box will appear

7) Click on browse and look for the image on your computer or from a web URL

8) Select the image, and select open; browse to the image, or paste the url of the image

9) Click on the insert image button at the bottom of the dialogue box

10) The image will appear in the body of the blank document.

11) Copy the image (CTRL + A or right mouse click, and select copy, or CTRL + C)

12) Return to gmail and compose an email. In the body of the email, paste ( CTRL +V) and your image will appear.


and Just Enjoy Maadi..

By the way this is not the only way to do it..
There is also an alternative by uploading the image in www.imageshack.us where u can again select and paste it in the gmail compose editor..

This is one of the Timepass Cups i think..
Because no one showed any interest even if it was a Ind-Pak Tie which is so famously known.. This was the after-effects of the IPL obviously....

The final was so good it almost gave some hope for the ODIs with Twenty20 being so popular.

Anyway, Gambhir is becoming so consistent that he may become like one of the greats like the fab four of our team.
Sehwag has carried his form from the IPL

The Most Part which i liked in the Kitply Cup is that India always maintained a run rate of 7.5 Everytime except the final maybe.. but it is always good .. if they can have it consistently India may become a good side and may beat records.

Also The bowlers in the Indian Team were pathetic.. there were no good bowlers.. no wicket taking capability of any except Praveen Kumar who has been impressing everyone..

So obviously Pak being under pressure from their chairman did put up a good display in the Final.. But if Butt or Younis Khan had got out before the 25th over then it would have been India's day..

Also many feel that Dhoni did spoil the match.. As for them,,,, wat they think is really crap.. If they were 7 wickets down and you want your only batsman try to hit shots..

Wat dhoni did was absolutely right.. he cant play the shots as he is required .. he did the good thing by making Pathan play the big shots..

It was the fault of the top order which failed the Indians this time..

So Anyway the big cup is coming.. The Asia Cup.. where India Pakistan Sri lanka matches would be really good i think..

Let's wait and watch..

First Semifinal :

Rajasthan Royals Vs Delhi Daredevils :

This Match was blown away by Rajasthan Royals in both the aspects of the game.. be it bowling or batting

Rajasthan did not find any new match-winners at all. it is the same batsman who batted and the same bowlers who bowled well..

Batsmen being Smith, Asnodkar, Pathan and Watson
Bowlers being Tanvir, Watson, Warne and Munaf.

Delhi just couldnt handle the pressure of chasing the 200 score and when their awesome trio left , the game was as Much as over

Second Semifinal

Chennai Superkings Vs Kings XI Punjab

This Match was just over after an hour it started.
Chennai being the underdogs just rattled the best batting team in the IPL.
Shaun Marsh just couldnt handle Gony and Ntini. and none of the other batsman as well.

The batting of Chennai eventhough it was a bit weak finished the match with Parthiv and Raina half centuries. Raina's Awesome form continued

The Final

Rajasthan Royals Vs Chennai Superkings

For Whosoever thought it before IPL started, no one would have expected this kind of a final.
Rajasthan ( The Unexpected ) and Chennai ( Whose Mana potion had deserted them)

Anyway,

The finals started off well with chennai batting.
The looked a worthy opponent to Rajasthan with their controlled aggression but they should have got 10-20 runs more in the 10 -15 overs range.

Eventhough they had posted some 170 runs on the board which could be very good.

When Rajasthan started batting.. they just kept losing wickets as chennai stuck to a plan and were really determined to win it by their cool nature. It was Yusuf Pathan who just couldnt bat when he came as he was fully tensed and still got the man of the match. Everyone talks about his 4 sixers but no one talked about how he struggled early in the match. If pathan got out in the start then Chennai would have won definitely.

Even the last over climax could have been good had Balaji not bowled that wide and Parthiv being more attentive. Anyway no one expected Chennai to win.
Still they were as good as Rajasthan in all departments

Also this one point i do want to stress

Chennai didnt get a free day after their semi finals.. if you do see the fielding standards in all the games, they were good. but you could see a difference in their fielding in the semifinal and final itself. It may well be because of their much needed rest after their wonderful Semifinal.

Anyway people keep telling the deserved won. Maybe .. But if Chennai had won then there would have been controversy on the nature of 20-20 itself that it is unpredictable and would have brought down chennai's stature. Who Knows what would have happened..
