Rose among the thorns

     Its always nice to see some characterized sportsmen.  Today I was able to find another gem who looks like a rose among the thorns. Everyone know what happened in Sydney last december at the Sydney Cricket Ground. World cup winning captain was able to lie for a decision on a catch so as his team.  Today one of the member of the Australian side was good enough to inform the umpire that the catch was not taken cleanly rather appealing with other of his team mates.  It may be because that he filled Gilly's boots or it may be  his nature. Any way its good to see some cricketers helping the umpire to make a decision and get things going smoothly.  Also I don understand why the umpire didn't like when Gambhir told the umpire that he nicked the ball during an LBW appeal.  Who ever does it, its for the welfare of the game and the umpires should encourage the players to finish the game on a higher spirit.

             A big Welcome to Brad Haddin to the list of Characterised players such as, Gilchrist, Dravid, Sachin, Gillespie, Gavaskar, Yuvraj, Sangakarra etc.

Cheers!!!!!

Festival of Exam

     Its going to be the month of October which marks the start of the grand festival of Examinations. Its really too hard to be an engineering student facing these exams. It all starts with a quiet Model exam then comes the model lab which is followed by the  university lab and last but of  never the less least the University theory examinations.

   In schools this period will be the working days of the second term between quaterly and halfyearly exams, but for us its just exams for this period. Its too hard on us man. Its only 1-2 year difference between school and college but the type of exams ? 

   It will be better if the system is changed by awarding the degree for the students on the basis of their thinking capacity and approach towards their branch of study rather believing in the vomit on the answer paper.

Indian Cricket League

     The world cup winning captain of India Kapil Dev thought in a different way to help the club cricketer's life, but the indian cricket board was smart enough to place as many hurdles as possible. Still ICL is back with its third season, the surprising thing about this ICL is that even some of the star cricketers have joined this leage (thanks to IPL for not taking them in).  What will be the position of the cricketer's future who play ICL. 

     Also is India loosing a bowler who has the best bowling performance in any format of T2o.  Aren't they commiting a mistake by boycotting these players.  Where will this issue go and end?

Cheers!!!!!

Yet another Gem

     I am very much impressed with the exhibition of character by this lawyer from Sri Lanka.  He kept filling Gilly's boots in every department.  He first proved his class behind the stumps and then in his batting and now its the time for the big one.  In my first post i felt a lot that the end of Gilly might see the end of characterized sportsmanship , but IPL showed us there is Sangakkara to fill the huge boots of Gilly.
                                           
 
     How often we can see batsman walking, but Gilly did it and now its the turn of this Srilankan lawyer who became a wicket-keeper later on to closely follow the foot steps of the man who deserved to be called as the cricketer of his period.  I really wish every cricketer to follow this attitude and justify the name Gentleman's game given for the game of cricket.

Awesome heat

     Every year during the month of April and May people use to curse my city for its iron melting heat.  But I really love my city during these two months and will never leave it till the summer is over. Usually people go to the hill stations for the summer vacations missing the heat of chennai.  I wish to say all these people who choose hill stations for their summer, " You can never get this heat anywere else, so try to enjoy the most of chennai heat during this summer atleast.  It may dehydrate you and also cramp your muscles, but still this is a very rare ocassion which comes once in a year, so lets enjoy it to the fullest extent...


Cheers!!!!!

Heart Struck ! ! !

     What is happening? I am so excited that I cant even wait for the match to get over.  

Is it cricket or what, what a start to the Indian Premier League.  Short and crisp opening ceremony.  

Fine that was the start of the tournament, what about the match?  Where did he come from?
What kind of an Innings is this?  Did he see the cricket ball like a foot ball or what?  Too many questions to be answered.  

The bottom line is that Brendon has really shown his class here at the IPL.  My first ever experience of watching a dozen sixes hit in a single innings.  How many times can we see a batsman scoring 150+ in a T20.  He was really polite in his interview after his innings as well.  


Hats off to Brendon...  Too many records in 75 minutes of batting...  Too good

Waiting for the RC's reply........
