Long long ago... hmm not so long ago [lokal boyzz style..] I was one of craziest cricket fan... specially Team India. But after the world cup debacle and the stories which followed later from being a crazy fan ... I have now become a just another normal fan :)
Finally after all nonsense with coach selection[or election by BCCI !!], team selection..... some sporting sense has prevailed in Indian Cricket. They are back to winning ways. Though beating Bangladesh was not among the greatest victories but regrouping after the world cup was necessary and that tour provided the ideal platform. Now winning against South Africa in Ireland showed some glimpses true team spirit which appeared to be lost few months back ... though we fanz always expect lot more from them!![cricket onde sports namma desha dalli jana bidade follow madodu--so high expectations yavagalu ide iruthe...]
Yesterday the probables for twenty20 world cup were announced and the famous trio [Sach, Dada, Wall] names were missing bcoz they have opted out of this tournament... well how good tat decision is I don't know... what I know is that these three players have immensely contributed for Indian cricket over a decade no matter what people say or criticise about them... They are simply great!! Now all three are aged around 34 [ considered as old men in cricket].. so I guess its a right sporting sense where old stars make way for youngsters... die hard fanz please control!!!
Coming to tennis... this weekends action was amazing... it was gr8 to see Venus Williams winning the women's Wimbledon Championship. This victory is gr8 since she was seeded low and no one gave her a chance. But she showed lot of determination to do it... As usual in men's Roger Federer won the championship for fifth time in a row and Nadal is finally catching up to him but still long way to go... anyways hats of to Fedex... Fedex and wimbledon always makes good sense!! :)
