the most expensive player of IPL and English batsman Kevin Petersen has confessed he is not good at playing the hugely popular Twenty20 format but vowed to make amends during the world championships beginning this week. "I'm not very good at T-20 cricket,am I?" Pietersen said on the eve of the world T20 championships in England. "The more you play T20 cricket the better you become and i haven't played a lot of it and i'm not good at it,"he has quoted as saying by The Mirror. KP,who was not part of the inaugural edition of IPL played only 6 matches in IPL 2 in South Africa and he has made just one T20 50 for England Averaging 26. KP disclosed he had developed new therories to suit his batting to the quickest format of the game. "The more I play it though the more i'll catch up with my records in test and one day cricket definetly. i just know that i'll get much better at it. I've worked out some new theories about my batting in T20 and that will make a difference,hopefully starting this week" he said. The 28 yr old Ex England Captain who failed to impress Royal Challengers Captain in IPL 2,said he loved the experience. "I'm made great captain didnt I",Pietersen said in lighter vein. "we won two out of six when i was there and Anil Kumble took over and they got to the final. people are going to take photo shots at me over the IPL and the money earned in two weeks,but it was such a great experience.I loved it he said. He sought to explain the reason behind gaffes like not knowing of his RCB team menbers even at time of toss in IPL. "To captain the side four days after arraving and not knowing what some of the guys did and not knowing most of their names made it a huge task for me.I wasn't as focused on my batting as I was trying to learn guys names and what they did," he said. It was less than 2 yrs ago that KP called T20 a SILLY game with Silly shots' but now he admits his attitude to the game has since changed.
About 170 nations will meet in Germany next week to work on a new United Nations climate treaty,with hopes for progressssss pinned on ways to raise billions of dollars which would help poor nations cope with global warming.
The june 1-12 talks between the senior officals in Bonn,will be the first to review formal draft texts about a sweeping UN deal due to be agreed in Copenhagen in December to invove all countries in fightining global warming.
Over 120 pages of draft texts indicate deadlock between rich and poor nations on a core dispute – over how to share out curbs on greenhouse gases,released mainly by use of fossil fuels.
To avoid that standoff finance could be an area to build confidence.
“One thing that can usefully done is finance – working out how funds can be mobilised for developing nations woulkd be a huge positiveinfluence on the negotations.” Yvo de Boer, head of UN climate change secretariat,said.
“If there’s no movement on emmissions then maybe an agreement can be made on finance,”he added.
The Bonn metting is the second of six UN climate talks due this year,including Copenhagen. Developing nations such as China and India say the rich have stocked warming since the Industrial Reolution and should do far more to cut emmissions by 2020.
Hit by recession,developed nations are wary of promising deeper cuts.
Seventeen major emitters said they made progress in Paris this week on how to find cash to help the poor reinin emmissions and adapt to climate change,based on a Mexican proposal for a Green Fund that would raise atleast $10 billion this year.
The Mexican plan foresees raising cash from all nations based on factors such as historic and present emissions and gross domestic product. That would make United States and Europe the top contributors.
Cash would got to projects including wind or solar power or to protecting forests as part of global deal,meant to prevent ever more heatwaves,floods,disease,species extinctions and rising sea levels.
