New Delhi, Nov 21 (Ians) Left-arm pacer Rudra Pratap Singh played only 14 Tests in a short career, but his two four-wicket bursts in the 2007-08 Test series in Australia, during which he played an important hand in India's win in the third Test, stand out. He became bogeyman for Michael Hussey, whom he dismissed four times in the series, including once with a cleverly chalked out plan.
Singh's four wickets for 68 runs in Australia's first innings set-up a memorable win for India, and he bagged two more wickets in the second, including the last wicket that signalled a 72-run win at the Western Australia Cricket Association ground, Perth, in January 2008. His victims included Hussey, Adam Gilchrist, Brett Lee, and Stuart Clark.
Singh, who could naturally swing the ball both ways, fondly narrates how he planned Hussey's dismissal in Perth after 'Mr Cricket' cut down his cover drive,...

This week we've assembled a panel of experts to feed your appetite for information about Nasa's new star, the Mars Curiosity rover.
The plucky robot landed on the red planet at 6:14am UK time and immediately sent back images of its surroundings. Guardian science correspondent Ian Sample takes us through the complex landing procedure; planetary scientist Geraint Jones from University College London tells us what it's like to be in the control room back on Earth when your lander reaches another planet; and our new astronomy blogger, Stuart Clark, walks us through Curiosity's scientific goals.
Talking of alien worlds, science fans will be pleased to know that the Wellcome Trust has launched a new prize to encourage the production of high-quality feature films inspired by biology and medicine: from genetics and infectious diseases to consciousness and mental health.

From start to finish, Bryan Forbes' Deadfall (1968) glimmers with the gloss of a 1960’s classic heist thriller, very much in the vein of Ocean's Eleven (1960) or Topkapi (1964), and presents itself as a truly attractive film with its easy-on-the-eye cast, wonderful cinematography, and classical camera work.
During a stay at a sanatorium for recovering alcoholics, cat burglar and proffesional conman Henry Stuart Clarke (Michael Caine) is approached by a mysterious and beautiful woman, Fe (Giovanna Ralli), who has a business proposition for him; her husband Richard (Eric Portman), is planning the most ingenious of robberies, and with Clarke’s ability as a thief it seems they cannot fail. Inevitably a love triangle ensues, but not in the most traditional of senses; Fe doesn’t love Richard in the same way a married woman is “supposed” to love her husband, and as the love between Fe and Clarke begins to grow,...
