Do-or-Die-KnightRiders
Shoaib Akhtar's knee injury kept him out of today's crucial match to make KnightRiders semi-finals dreams alive. Shane Warne succeed in his plan to knock out Knight Riders from the IPL tournament.

Kolkata KnightRiders still had a chance to be in the race for semi-finals after losing match against Chennai Super Kings. They have to win there 3 matches and hope that others teams don't perform well. Now the scene is set, you perform and win and you may have the chance for semi-finals. Kolkata Knight Riders net runrate is pretty bad after they losted heavily against Mumbai Indians. Absence of Shoaib Akhtar hit Kolkata Knight Riders hard,since the batting strategy of knight riders were never upto the mark hence heavy pressure prevailed on bowlers. Kolkata Knight Riders are very inconsistent, thats why there are in this postion right now.
Umar Gul may replaced Shoaib. Rajasthan Royals are on the top of the table and they dont have any worries but they don't want to lose there momentum as well.Warne target was to knock out the knight riders from the IPL , he will be still remembering there last encounter were he was not satified with Ganguly's behaviour on the field.The match was indeed worth watching and Rajasthan royals rocked the ground!!!!!!
Kolkata Knight Riders : Salman Butt, Mohammad Hafeez, Sourav Ganguly (capt), Debabrata Das, David Hussey, Laxmi Shukla, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Ajit Agarkar, Ishant Sharma, Ashok Dinda, Umar Gul
Rajasthan Royals : Graeme Smith, Swapnil Asnodkar, Shane Watson, Yusuf Pathan, Mohammad Kaif, Ravindra Jadeja, Shane Warne (wk), Sohail Tanvir, Mahesh Rawat, Siddharth Trivedi, Munaf Patel

UNSEEN WONDERS
Recent survey by the world tourism department ensured that some of the most amazing sights in the world will be soon be relegated to the history books.
THE MEXICO CITY:
Mexico city is going underground.Originally this beautiful city was built on a lake,the spanish conquerors extended the city limits by draining the lake and building an european style city in the empty basin.This was a poor ideas as foundations sank into the soft clay and left buildings titlting.As population rose during 20th century,the government pumped the city's water supply out of the underground aquifier that has once fed the lake.In past 70 years mexico city has sunk more than 30 feet.
THE GREAT BARRIER REEF:
The great barrier reef will lose most of its coral cover by the middle of this century,It will pose a heavy loss to australia's tourism and fishing industries within 16years,also it is likely to lose 12,000 jobs by 2020 as a result.The great barrier reef has been called the largest living organism.
KILIMANJARO'S ICE CAP:
The ice cap mount kilimanjaro is one of the most famous landmarks of Africa.
but it may be gone in less than 20 years.About one-third of kilimanjaro's icefield has disappeared in the last 12 years.While some argue that global warming is not to blame for this tragedy,tourists would do better to visit and climb the peak fast.
THE DEAD SEA:
The dead sea is the lowest point on earth(1,400 feet below sea level) and for being so salty that humans naturally float on top of it.But in recent years,it is evaporating and receding by about three feet each year.
