Vandalism…

April 28, 2008 3:10 pm

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!

Bangalore Royal Challengers... Schedule!

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) :P 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 :P ) 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!

Going Cricket Crazy…

April 15, 2008 4:23 pm

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 :P

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 :P

Anyway now you know where my allegiance lies :P

A conversation I had in mid 2003…

H: So you watch F1?
Me: For a while now…
H: Whome do you support?
Me: Fernando Alonso and Renault.
H: Why? Cant you choose someone who can win?
Me: :)

I believe the time has come to answer that question…

A Champion Retires

September 11, 2006 12:21 pm

Michael Schumacher yesterday in an emotional post race press conference announced his retirement from Formula One. The next 3 races will be last time we will see the most successful driver in Formula One on track.

Michael

I was a die hard fan of Michael until 2003 when a certain Spaniard’s drive in Malaysia stole my heart(that is a story for another day).

Michael was the only name in Formula One that I knew of back then… My first race was the one in which Mika retired in the last lap gifting Michael the victory. The next few years saw my love for the sport shoot right up. I cheered for the Scarlet cars and watched as no competition came close. Until the end of 2002 I toasted every Schumi victory and every Ferrari success. Then came the grandprix of Austria 2002… Team orders and after that for the first time a team I supported lost respect in my eyes. It was a downward spiral from then on…

On this day where I saw emotion in the eyes of every Ferrari fan I encountered I dont want to throw dirt on a World Champion or point out his flaws. He was a brilliant driver who would do anything to win… Maybe its what the sport demanded of him. He is still a great human being and my respect for him as a person is a million times what it will be for him as a professional.

There was a time I considered him a god… I dont anymore(I even laugh at myself sometimes thinking how naive I was to think that). He is and probably will forever be the most successful driver in F1… I hope no driver ever has as much success as him(not even Alonso) coz its bad for the sport.

A Toast to Michael Schumacher… One of the best drivers I hv had a pleasure of watching and supporting. Thanks for those happy moments you gave me and the Tifosi :)

As for Kimi :) I am happy you will finally get a car that will finish races and I look forward for a brilliant Kimi-Alonso era.
