A RELEVANT AD ON SPORTSMANSHIP!
I wish India-Australia test series is played in this spirit! Too good how the Indian wicket keeper offers mint to the Aussie batsman and they share a friendly moment.

Watched it? Time to get back to reality...
Guess that the FMCGs are making use of the opportunity! Recent examples being Airtel, TicTac...
As long as it is in the positive spirit, why should one complain?

The second test
is interestingly positioned. There had been good scoring from both sides. Esp, by the Indian team - a double century by Jaffer, 2 centuries and 2 half centuries !! This is called team effort!
Is this coincidence or Kumble's leadership?
I pray that it is the later!

Congrats, dear Kumble
We won the first test against arch rivals, spearheaded by Kumble.
Though I feel happy for India and the Indian team, I feel happier for the guy who had been deserving this for a long long time!
Nothing could have been better than this win in style on his first test as a captain! I have always known Kumble as a person who was always willing to give his very best for the team and thought always beyond self. His simple nature has not changed in the last 10 years or so!
Way to go, guy!

Indian team Vs Aussies
It was another disheartening match, though Indian team did fight back. Just a mile away from confidence to carry on the brilliant start.
Dravid and Yuvi failed to support
Dhoni could not bat aggressively as was required. We were in need of 40 runs in addition to the balls remaining for around 5 overs which decided the match in Aussies' favor.
Also, Ponting's decision to bring in Branten turned the stride!
Anyway, well tried Indian team!

Whats our national game?
I'm sure most of the Indians will be pondering on the athletic skills & sports in our country, after showing the door so early in the much awaited WorldCup!
Is Hockey the national game ? In the past 20 years or mor, I have neither watched a hockey match being telecast in any commercial channel except DD nor watched a match myself ! I am not alone in this aspect and hence, hockey is not even a popular game except for the sports pages in the newspapers!
Is Khabbadi a national game ? I doubt ! Except for the bolloywood & kollywood movies - that too the game is always played in doubles - the game is not known beyond the courts!
Is Cricket the only sport of India ? Looks like! Every match is watched - first class, Ranjit Trophy, Galli cricket etc etc. The family fights for the remote for every test match or one dayer.
Every cricketer on/off the team endorses anything to everything - from Re1 to Rs 10 crores!
The corporates have even innovated products based on the game and players!
The filmi damsels seem to be falling all over the 'boys' in blue!
And common sense - how many games have we won in the past 3-5 years , how good is our attitutde on the field, the never-die-spirit ?
Above all, how capable is our team ?
I'm not against the individual players - If Cricket is the only sport of the country, how serious are we about it?
