Sports getting scary?

What is happening all over!

Have you ever seen Federer sweat out so much in his third round in any Grand Slam? A '10-8' scary win in the fifth set is something beyond imagination. Is Fed out of spirits these days? Is the Serb, Tipsarevic, a future FED?

It isnt over here.

What happened in Perth? What? Did India win 'Oz' in 'Oz'ie soil? That too in Perth? Why surprise? The only team that keeps haunting Oz's domineering attitude, I assure, is India. That's India for you. That will remembered as one of the greatest victories in the History of Indian Test Cricket. A total team effort with Kumble leading from the front aplomb, made India a prouder country. Let's hope for a 2-2 square off in Adelaide.

It isnt over here.

What's happening with Bhajji? 'Cricket'ism or Racism? A bloodbath in Sydney. Bhajji is never a racist!!!!! We all stand for that. But Australia, certainly, lacked Sportiveness that day. Navjot Singh Sidhu's out burst on NDTV would have been like honey flowing into the ears for many. He was at his peak. I loved him criticise the Aussies ;) And, i feel, Aussies got what they deserved.

It isnt over here.

What's happening to Umpiring these days? Sydney match - No one can forget. No need to describe. All Indian cricket fans will know it. But, coming to Perth, there were still quite a few umpiring errors, though it was a far far FAIR match that the one that took place in Sydney. Umpiring needs Rennaissance.

It isnt over.

What's happening with DADA? Why not Ganguly (the man in form) for ODI tri-series against two big-shots of World Cricket, Oz and Srilanka? And Rahul Dravid - the man who led India to great victories in the past? For want of a Young Indian Team who can "field" well? So, Has BCCI found out anybody Superior to Dravid, who can sweat it out for India with his Bat and who is a legend at Slips? Or has BCCI carved out somebody superior to this ambidextrous all-rounder who has been really consistent in the recent past? Clueless!!

Don't know why politics needs to show its dirty face in this field as well.Gone is the spirit of sportsmanship of yesteryears.It's just an ego battle now.Sigh!
