I really thought Sachin would get that magic number 50 after missing out in the first test, but New Zealand attack did him in, yet again. They seem to have have figured something people have not been able to do in the past one year or so and are faring quiet well against him. But I know number 50 will come eventually. Like me there are a lot of fans who worship him and may give up watching cricket that day he walks out of the cricket pitch for the final time.
Still there is one batsman whom NZ have no clue about. Bhajji has really come into own in this series, clobbering the ball like he normally does, but what really has made the difference this time around is the consistency with which he is doing so. Real fun to watch him. India have crawled back into a good position in the test and can make a result out of it if they bowl really well. Meanwhile Bhajji might get his second in a row. Really hope he gets it again.
Manchester United have drawn again, and again in the same week. They just haven't been winning away games. Have to agree they made a great comeback against Villa, but was really disappointed to see them again being pushed in a position where they have to take the leap to make things level again. Good for us, they have been doing that consistently atleast. This season ManU are really lacking the creativity in the midfield and they better improve !!!! Go Red Devils !!! Rooney, We need you to fire.
What a finale to the such a close Formula one season. It was such a great season and Schumacher, despite being there, was not in reckoning for the championship in a 4 way battle at the end. Ferrari screwed it in the final race. What should have been a comfortable top 4 finish for Alonso to claim the Hat-trick of World Championships turned into to fiasco. Early Pit-stop meant he was stuck behind Petrov's Renault for the entire race, left at the mercy of whatever good came his way with the retirements/pit-stops ahead of him. But Vettel, You beauty !!! Never having lead the points race the entire year, you scripted a perfect race to clinch the WC. Hats Off to Red Bull and Vettel. There is a lot left from Vettel I am sure !!!
Something Sweet happened as I started this post in disappointment. Chelsea lost. Yay !!! That ought to level some things at the top of the table.
