The first thing comes in my mind for KKR's illness is "Make DADA Coach Cum Captain". But this is very unlikely in this version of IPL where one can believe Dada will take this offer. The very next option is to provide a manual for coaching in India to John Buchanan at the earliest possible because SRK seems to be so obsessed with foreign coach specially John Buchanan that he not going to ask John to resign. Instead, the only thing left is to provide John a manual for coaching an Indian Cricket Team in India.
India again is in the ruling seat. This time the honour brought you by our own Viswanathan Anand by winning the chess world championship. Anand has claimed the title for the second time in a row by beating Vladimir Kramnik of Russia. Beating him convincingly in the match play format, Anand outsmarted his opponent in every sphere of chess tactics.
India ultimately slams the pride of the Aussie by winning the second test at Mohali. India defeated Australia by 320 runs and established their supremacy in all the departments. It was a show that should impress the selectors and the board officials. Captain Dhoni took the Man of the Match award after his breezy innings of 92 and 68, while Sourav and Gambhir scored centuries and Amit mishra took 7 wickets in his debut match. Competition to clinch the Border Gavaskar Trophy is now tilting in the favor of the Indian. Investing the supreme power in the bowling and batting sector, India enjoys the thumping win over the Kangaroos as they clinch the first win in the series .
Euro Cup, every year, comes with lots of surprises. Lots of unexpected has to be expected. And Euro 2008 is again proving this. Almost all the front-runners are now out of the tournament. And it is only the start of knock-out. Only one quarter-final to go, only one of the Titans may stay in the tournament. The big names like Christiano Ronaldo, Nuno Gomes, Van Nistelrooy, Var parsie, Rubben, Thiery Henry, Per Chech, are back to their respective homes and to watch the remaining games on TV. Instead their comes Yuri Zhirkov, Pavlyuchenko, Schweinsteiger.. and some rather unknown and fresh names...
Who is the best soccar player in the recent times? Undoubtedly the one and only Christiano Ronaldo!!! And the Euro Cup is reflecting his excellence. Skills, passing, control, power... maximum output on the field. The first two matches of Portugal shows a man with responsibility on his shoulder and some great game of football. Some magestic dribble fooled the opposition. He runs through the defense of rivals and tears them apart.
If Indian cricket, in 2007, had a storyline, it has to be 'Rise of the Phoenix'. And he has proved this line in everyway. But after wining a lot of games inside and outside of the field, again he is now out of oneday team. Why is so ? Is there anybody who can clarify this bogus decision ?
