Last time I heard ZEE was an Indian Channel. Or is it, still?
Did anyone from the ZEE had an analysis done with an outcome that states: there is no need to update the schedules at this end of the world as no one would be looking at.Or is it because no one would question? or is it because the channel itself is shit not to mention the commentary team and they knew it.
I ached to watch the awesome gunners Carling cup team and I had to endure this shit. Anything for one more gem of a performance.

Delicious Treat It was Yesterday
That was a gem of a match. If if if if Federer's backhand, at any stage of the match, matched the same of his previous year it would have been another runners up trophy in Nadal's trophy cabinet and Borg's record would no be more. Alas it didn't.
And did I mention I hate it. I am no fan of Nadal but he is one of the best athletes I have ever seen. Federer would play an outrageous cross court short opening up the complete court and yet Nadal covers whole length of the pitch. Mind you even after 4 hours 40 minutes, he was doing the same. He would have played another three sets if asked to. Such is his stamina.
I am no astrologer but is this the end to Federer's era? May be. His forehand is of course out of this world and his serve is the best. 29 aces! But he is making lots and lots of unforced errors these days. His back hand isn't what it was. And when he faces Nadal, am I the only one who feels like there is a bit of mental pressure? Its sounds odd for a five time champion. I want him to comeback strong. Love to see him lifting the US Open trophy. Let us see.
The game is changing. I love Federer's game for his great technical ability but when its between Sampras and him its always the former. There is no serve and volley game in Federer's that I like. Now its Nadal who is much much much more reliant on the physical fitness than technical abilities and I hate that. May be that's the reason I cheered for Federer. Next time I would be rooting for Federer yet again. This time around I hope he doesn't get it wrong.
I waited for Borg's record to be broken and here I am not knowing how many years it might take. May be decades!
PS: I made a good decision not to watch the Asia cup as we made ourselves look like complete fools not chasing 273 on that pitch!!!! Mind you, on that pitch!!! Who ever is singing the name of mendis, I found his bowling way too normal and its the erratic shot selection by us that handed over the wickets and the win. So its 18 finals that we lost. No wonder there though.
Yesterday everything went wrong, I was talking about my predictions. I thought Kimmi would win, India would thrash SriLanka and arrogantly thought I would be pleased seeing Federer hammer Nadal.
When I look back at yesterday's events, I look like a total schmuck.
Hamilton dominated the race completing it almost 69 sec's ahead of others.
Jayasurya thrashed us.
Federer fought fought and fought only to loose the battle to a well deserving champion, Nadal: Take a bow!

Cricket now-a-days
Asia Cup pitches are a joke. And it’s schedule: pathetic.
What is with Danny Morrison and ‘Rhythm’?
What is with Wasim Akram and ‘whatsoever’?
A new punishment should be enforced: Commentary of Ramiz Raza, Ali Khan, Aamir Sohail, Arun Lal.
Dhoni was bowled by an off spinner but not by a doosra for God sake. Even after the replays, it’s the same comment: I expect way too much from Ramiz.
BCCI saying players should have opted out if they couldn’t cope with the schedule is the worst ever statement I heard in the recent years, may be not: they make statements every day.

Gunners Crashed out of Europe!
Absolutely gutted! I am. Seriously I am! How I wish the referees in the football games to be robots that will makes decisions with at least some precision and won’t make decisions based on the atmosphere surrounding them. How, how on earth can that be a fucking penalty!!!
Anyway, it had to be the gooners on the losing side. We are already told that, some may say, but I will say the better team just didn’t win. It didn’t. Not because they couldn’t but because of sheer injustice on the field. Simply they were outclassed by the officials letting Liverpool play with one another extra man. We could have tolerated that if he is a player but he is the decision making referee and even God cannot cope with that.

Delightful Umpiring
Yesterday I saw some of the highlights of the second test and I got to know as to why Australia was invincible in their own turf for a very long time.
Question remains: What happens to their 'record' after Steve Buckner's retirement?
I don't get it. Whats wrong in calling a monkey a monkey?
It might be wrong in the sense that he was called just a monkey.. should have been called long haired monkey.
I say call off the tour and come back. Eight decisions which simply costs us a test match and some indisputable player of cricket says its great to win a test and shows the team's determination. Yes it shows how much 'good work' your 'fourteen' players had done. Hats off! Now BCCI please please do something if at all you can do something other than thinking, drinking and eating money.

!!
Australia: 136/6 in the second session!
Australia: 376/7 by the end of first day.
Come on everyone. Bash every one in the team and start the talk of we being complacent yet again and we 'Indians' always lack the killer instinct.
Have a look at the decisions! Even the third umpire got the stumping, clear stumping mind you, wrong! Amazing stuff from the ICC panel of umpires. I don't know what world they are from but sure Australians would be jumping with joy as of now.
A clear edged catch not once but thrice. A clear LBW.. ok let us leave this as LBW's are something umpires have the 'right' to get wrong 'occasionally' - They are after all humans.
Clear Stumping. This was given not out by the third umpire!
I would have been devastated if i was the bowler and fuming if I was the captain.
For all those who say these are all part and parcel of the game! Stop it you morons. It is not just one decision(which umpires seem to claim having as a birth right) but many which by every means took away the credit from our bowlers. How and how could even the third umpire get it wrong is beyond my understanding!
People who say rick ponting was wrongly given out for a thick inside edge of bajji's bowling on 55. If he was in there it would be even worse for india.
Loosers. He was clearly caught by dhoni of dada's bowling on 17! 50/3 before lunch and that would have definitely been worse for Australia then.
Shitty Arguments and yet I hope our team would fight to comeback as the Aussies are wrongly poised in an absolutely good position in this second test.
Dravid get your batting straight please please..
