Give youngsters time Sehwag [T

DAMBULLA: After captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, it was Virender Sehwag's turn to defend India's young batsmen following another poor performance.

"We are not worried about them not performing too much because in Dambulla, even the seniors are not scoring," Sehwag said.

"When I was a youngster, it took me almost Burberry Shoes 50 to 70 innings to perform consistently. It's very difficult to react according to the merit of the ball when you're young. It's tempting to hit and we get out in that confusion. It's possible that everyone will come good in the final."

Explaining the four-seamer rationale which has given India a shot at the title, Sehwag said: "I didn't think it was a winning total. Full credit to Praveen and the others."

High flying fashion

If you usually return from holiday unable to face the credit card bills, your suitcase might be more to blame than the sangria rounds and room service.

Women splash more cash on their vacation wardrobe than the trip itself, according to recent research. While the average woman spends Pounds 500 on their holiday, the new contents of their catwalk-hot luggage comes to around Pounds 700, a Clothes Show London survey reveals.

"Looking good on holiday is just as, if not more, important to some women as actually getting away," says Maryam Hamizadeh of Clothes Show London.

"The fact women are willing to spend more on their wardrobe than on their summer holiday shows that even the difference between sandals and flip flops bargain break isn't quite as cheap as first thought."

International designers used far-flung vacations as the theme for their exotic spring/summer 10 shows, securing holiday chic as the height of fashion. Ashish used globe-like maps as inspiration for his sequin prints and Dries Van Noten paraded models in eclectic fabrics, complete with oversized shades, sea-drenched hair and toting luggage.

Plane parade Unless your name is Victoria Beckham and you're regularly chased through airports by paparazzi, there's no need to go overboard with your flight fashion. Platform heels and mini dresses are a tad over-the-top and you never know when you might have to make a mad dash for a final call announcement.

Comfort and layering are key to a non-turbulent flight on the style front. Think lightweight jerseys and flat shoes that won't start to pinch the moment your feet swell.

If you're not a fan of jogging bottoms, this season's new trouser silhouette, the harem pant, is a glamourous alternative.

Temperatures fluctuate wildly on board, so don't jet off without a light scarf or pashmina to cover your arms or legs in a flash if you're feeling cool. Get into holiday mode with a bright colour so that it doubles up as an extra cover-up layer while you're away. Avoid black as mosquitoes are drawn to dark colours.

Suitcase savvy There's a fine line between packing so little you have to go out for dinner scantily clad in bikinis and stuffing so much in your suitcase you have to leave half of it behind at the airport because you can't afford the astronomical excess baggage fees.

Layering is essential for a capsule holiday wardrobe that's interchangeable and versatile.

Choose lightweight fabrics in colours that will work effortlessly together like khaki, grey and natural shades and bring individuality to your look with bright accent accessories and bold statement jewellery.

Try to plan vacation outfits that transcend effortlessly from beach to bar. Staples like tapered trousers, maxi dresses, kaftan tunics and culotte shorts can be worn as casual daywear and glammed up at night with heels.

If you usually can't bear to be without an iron, look out for crinkle-effect material that's ready to wear no matter how crumpled it gets in your case.

HIGH FLYING FEMALE PILOT

AS THE pair of Lynx helicopters hover side by side, for a moment it is impossible not to wince as it seems the pair of great whirring blades are about to touch.

To watch the Royal Navy's helicopter display team, the Black Cats, is a tense if exhilarating experience, which leaves you with a sense of complete awe for dolce and gabbana handbags the guys that pilot these mighty aircraft.

But as they land, and the blades slow and fade, there's a further surprise in store, when the lead pilot steps from the plane, unbuckles the high-tech helmet, and lifts it off to reveal the blonde locks of a lady.

Far from being a macho, pumped-up "Top Gun", soft-voiced Lieutenant Becky Frater is calm and collected as she chats.

The former Clevedon geography teacher became the first woman to fly with the Black Cats - the Royal Navy's version of the Red Arrows - when she stepped straight into the lead helicopter earlier this year.

Now Becky is returning to her home city to perform with the Black Cats at this weekend's Balloon Fiesta.

"It should be fun, I'm really looking forward to it," the 36- year-old says. "It will be nice to get back to Bristol."

Becky is currently based at RNAS Yeovilton, where her day job sees her working as an instructor on the same Fleet Air Arm Lynx choppers that she uses for her weekend air displays with fellow Black Cats pilot Lieutenant Chris Chambers.

Becky said: "We get to travel all over the country performing at public events and educating people about the role of the Fleet Air Arm. It's amazing how few people know we even exist.

"Most people think aircraft in the military are always flown by the RAF, and have no idea that the Royal Navy has its own air arm."

In fact, Becky's first experience of the military was flying Lynx helicopters for the Army.

"Although I enjoyed teaching, I was young and yearned for more adventure and excitement in my life," she said. "A lot of my friends had joined the Army, so I made the tough decision to leave behind a perfectly good job for a whole new life.

"But I knew from the moment I walked through the gates at Sandhurst that I'd made the right decision.

"I was actually taken into the Army with sponsorship for my training from the education corps, which offers educational courses to serving soldiers.

"But during my training, somebody asked if I'd ever thought about piloting helicopters for a living, and I've never looked back."

Becky spent 10 years in the Army flying Lynxes, before transferring to the Royal Navy four years ago.

"I had a great time with the Army, serving all over the world in places as diverse as Iraq, Canada, Belize, Kenya and across Europe," she said.

"But flying the Lynx in the Army was very different from flying it in the Royal Navy. In the Fleet Air Arm there are many more challenges as the helicopters are generally based at sea on frigates or destroyers. Landing on the back of a ship is a skill all of its own."

She added: "It all depends where you are serving in the world. If you're off the coast of Somalia, the chances are you will be working on anti-piracy jobs, while in the Caribbean you're more likely to be pursuing drug smugglers."
