New Sense

Just two remain, in the quest for the title of “Champions of the World”. Its the Reds v/s the Oranje!

Spain played like a team that knows its destiny. This picture of the Spanish huddle in today’s papers was the perfect inspiration to get my camera out…

We will have first time world champs no matter what, come Sunday… All the best, Champs…

So the Football(Soccer, if you like) WorldCup starts today. Among all the major sporting events I seem to be very disinterested with the whole finals of Football… Let me explain…

Personally I have a great fondness for Football. I have loved it as a player and I have loved it immensely as a viewer but the playing happened about four years ago and viewing stopped about two years later. I am very fascinated by the size of the event and totally love all the grandeur it brings but… I dont really care who wins.

I have watched World Cups before and have supported Germany, England and Spain at different times. Ironically each time I supported them they failed to make it to the top 8… Actually I think Germany managed to make it to the finals one of those times but I think I was supporting England that year

Well so the sporting events I am actually looking forward to this month are the Formula One races(we have one this weekend!) and Wimbledon.

Ps: For kicks (bad pun eh) I hope Spain wins… I always never liked Brazil so guess I wont be cheering for them (particularly)

I was looking at the Bangalore Royal Challenger’s page in wikipedia to find where todays match is being held. Guess what I found! Read the Result column next to today’s match!

My instinctive reaction was that I started laughing! BRC is my team and I really support them but this is so wrong(a little funny though) For ppl who did not know, Chennai Super Kings are clearly the strongest team in the IPL so far and the Royal Challengers have faced a fair share of defeat.

Ps: This constitutes vandalism doesn’t it? How do I report it?

UPDATE: The vandalism is removed! Was just about the do it(after figuring out how ) and someone already did it Looked at the old revisions of changes and that moron who did the vandalism looks like a top class loser!

Virat Kohli’s superb catch against Mumbai on Sunday(Apr 20 2008). He followed that up with an amazing batting display!

I have to admit that I am very excited about the IPL(Indian Premier League). I remember asking a friend of mine about 4 years back why we dont have an equivalent to EPL for cricket in India. Well now we have two leagues!

ICL was not that interesting coz Bangalore did not get a team but IPL with the Bangalore Royal Challengers is looking like a cooler league to me

The team looks good with a mix of young and experienced players… Someone had commented saying that the Bangalore team would be better playing test cricket rather than T20. With some world class T20 specialists, All Rounders and The Wall, I feel pretty safe supporting them

Anyway now you know where my allegiance lies
