Last Saturday, I drove down to Eagleton golf resort with a friend who was playing
in the Mercedes Trophy. I just went along for the photo-op and my camera did the rest.
Can’t believe I shot these pictures :)

While the big boys went out to play, I spent all my time with these beauties
that were on special display.

As ICC Cricket World cup - 2007 starts I wish Indian team will come back with the world cup. Indian team need to prepare for the worst and expect the best.

Come on, India.

In the mood of Bundh many forgot an prestigious sports event which started in the city from yesterday,” Sony Ericsson International” earlier known as “WTA Bangalore Open” has been scheduled from 13-18 Feb 2007 @ KSLTA in Cubbon Park, Bangalore.

So Tennis lovers why you are waiting? Mark your presence for the event!

Details of Match schedules, Ticket info etc… available here

Bangalore’s list of gifts to the world would sound incomplete, without one of the greatest sportsman of our country Prakash Padukone. To come from a cricket crazy country, which turns a blind eye towards any sports apart from cricket and achieve so much in the field of badminton is no mean achievement.

Known as the ‘Gentle Tiger’, he was won the London Masters Open, Swedish Open, Denmark Open and All England Open. If am not wrong, winning the All England Open is equivalent to winning the Wimbledon in tennis.

I have bored my friends to death with this, but the recent theatrics around cricket make me go again.

The Dream

It is about a dream I have. Come back home at 7 pm after a tiring day at work. Turn on the TV. Skip those Saas Bahu things to go straight to the sports channel I love - call it Neo for now (for it stands a chance!). My team, Bengalooru Hoysalas takes the field. The Hoysalas have 30 million strong fans backing it. Sheer numbers and economics mean that some players I’d pay to watch - Kevin Pietersen and Chris Gayle - play to please me. The match starts at 7 sharp. Its a variant of 20-20, and I don’t mind staying up till 11 to watch all of it. Today, the Hoysalas play Mumbai Bulls, and I relish the prospect of seeing Kumble-Tendulkar and Munaf-Pietersen rivalries renew tonite.

Did you see how Wasim Jaffer got out in the fourth SA ODI? Ball outside off stump, Jaffer aimed to push it square. Feet weren’t close to line of the ball, that meant the bat couldn’t have been straight. Don’t worry, these shots are common in ODIs, the bat was about 75 degrees to the ground when he swung it. Now, if the pitch was to be a regular Indian one, Jaffer would have middled the ball. But the place being SA, the ball bounced higher. As the bat wasn’t swung straight, that resulted in an edge. Caught in the slips, and out.

We have seen endless number of Indian batsmen get out in that fashion on tours to Aus and SA. And I have seen Aus and SA batsmen treating these same balls with similar shots to perfection.

Had been to the Twenty-Twenty match at the Chinnaswamy stadium last month and absolutely loved it. My friend Vinay and me were passing by the stadium and realized that the tournament was on. I had always wanted to visit the stadium when it is not crowded. Moreover, Vinay has been closely following domestic cricket in India, so was damn excited about the match.

This follows the post by Rubic_Cube earlier today on the subject of our Bangalore boys; Dravid, in particular!

India captain Rahul Dravid was deservedly named the man of the match for his vital knocks 81 and 68, which proved crucial in a low-scoring game.

Following his matchwinning knock that earned India’s its first test series victory in 35 years on Caribbean soil, you’d expect his home to be a hubbub of activity - fans, wellwishers, bouquets, galatta, majaa etc etc. Hmmph! Nary a soul. See for yourself.
