Cricket gives me the most amount of pleasure when it comes to watching TV. I am not much of TV buff apart from the sporting events. Asia cup saw the favorites Sri-Lanka losing tamely to a well controlled Indian team. Not really disappointed with the final result. For a change it was good to see all the stars playing like one.
But really in Cricket, Football World cup & Wimbledon, something has gone really wrong. The teams/players who are supposed to play the best are playing the worst. Italy and France bowed out in the first round-robin match. And when I saw Italy yesterday, it looked like they had something against their goal-keeper, letting all the opponents through and testing the goal-keeper skills. Quite a horrible show from the world champions.
If football was something about the new guys, has anyone checked out the new kids in Wimbledon? We are having matches which have score line of 70-68 (something like a basketball game) lasting 3 days...On the other hand we have Federer and Nadal fighting hard to survive. I have accepted in the past that FedEx is the best and I am still a fan of Nadal, yet I don't want anyone else to defeat any of them. I wan't every grand slam to be a Nadal vs Federer finale. Nothing makes it more interesting than the top seed battling out for glory. The two battle between the top seeds at Wimbledon, have been the greatest tennis match since the rivalry between Sampras and Aggasi.
With Football WC entering fourth week and Wimbledon into its second, I hope to see the favorite fighting it out and showing their class. All the best guys, may the best team/man win!
