Kareena Kapoor wants to be Ranbir Kapoor's lover. Wait, before you faint, let me assure you there is no problem with Kareena Kapoor. The actress said that she would love playing the on screen lover of Ranbir Kapoor. It is true that Kareena Kapoor is the most gorgeous actress in Bollywood and Ranbir Kapoor is the most promising actor and had they not been family, they would have made great couple. Still, Kareena does not see any problem playing Ranbir Kapoor's lady love if opportunity comes in future. In a recent interview, when asked whether she would pair up with Ranbir Kapoor, she said:

“Ranbir is fantastic, he’s a brilliant actor. It’s so in his blood, he’s natural on screen. But I don’t know. Maybe Ranbir and I should do a film. Act as friends, perhaps brother and sister, but as lovers… maybe if the audience wants to see us that way. He’s hot and good-looking, the best in the family, and I like interesting and different roles, I like taking risks, I’m ready to experiment. Jab We Met was different from Omkara.”

Ranbir Kapoor is Kareena Kapoor's first cousin. Playing Ranbir Kapoor's lady love may not sound so complicated to her but the problem is some where else. In a society like India, where cultural and social traditions are observed seriously, will the people be ready to see such a pair up? I do not know but I definitely agree that Ranbir Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor will make great on screen couple. What do you think?

Once again New Zealand team failed to shine against Bangladesh team. In the second ODI, New Zealand threw a wining target of 213 runs for Bangladesh team. Bangladesh is now batting to reach the target. Winning the toss in the morning, Bangladesh chose to field first. Bangladeshi pacers did not take time to justify Ashraful's decision. At one point, New Zealand lost five wickets on 86. Then once again, all rounder Jacob Oram emerged as rescuer of the visiting side as he played an excellent innings of 75 not out. However, wickets were falling in the other end at regular interval.

Opener Jesse Ryder scored 30, and along with opening partner McCullum, he brought 31 runs in the opening stand. However, once again New Zealand middle order failed and at one point, it seemed New Zealand would not be able to cross the 200-run mark. However, Ross Taylor's 33 and Daniel Flynn's 25 in the middle order helped Oram to lead New Zealand innings to a decent total. In the tale end, Kyle Mills added important 17 runs then eventually helped New Zealand cross the 200- mark.

For Bangladesh, pacer Syed Rasel took three wickets, conceding only 23 runs from his 10 overs. Two spinners Shakib Al Hasan and Naeem Islam bagged two wickets each, while ace left arm spinner Abdur Razzak remained wicket less.

Chasing 213, Bangladesh lost opener Tamim Iqbal's wicket in the second ball of the first over. Bangladesh team has gone under pressure now as they lost Mushfiqur Rahim's wicket too who got played on off Mills on 11. At this moment, Bangladesh team reached 23 losing two wickets after 10 overs. Opener Junaid Siddique is batting on 10, while Ashraful is yet to get off the mark.

Pitch and conditions

The curator at Windsor Park, the venue for the first two ODIs, has said the pitch will provide “serious pace and bounce” though a score of around 300 would be chaseable.

With the pitch in Dominica expected to be conducive to seam bowling, the hosts should be able to compete better.
