For anyone staying in India, having a net session at Mumbai is something to look forward to. Having grown up to hearing (literally hearing on the radio!) Mumbaikers like Gavaskar and Vengsarkar dominate the sport in the 80s, Mumbai cricket is still a fascination to me. Last week, courtesy my office, I batted after almost 2 years in the nets. The nuances of the game was as exciting as it has always been.Obviously the fear factor has increased after the appointement with near death and a hairline fracture during my post graduation days at Delhi where I used to play cricket. The coming week will be even more exciting!
The Telgi scam has yet again brought the politician-policeman-scamster nexus to the forefront. Apparently enough money is never really enough. In a blossoming business scenario, many a time, a little corruption is always factored in. However the cause of concern and probably the biggest challenge is not to let this little corruption become a predominant evil.
The Indian cricket team to Australia has been announced. Though I havent followed Irfan Pathan enough, I think he has been given the India cap easily. Though the others in the side have been predictable faces, I really doubt whether the Indians have the fire to set the grounds alight in Down Under. However I hope to watch the Indian performance closely!Aussies are also on the brink of another Rugby WC title having beaten the Black Cats 22-10 in the semi-final yesterday. Its a pity that ESPN and Star Sports are off the air due to some issues between ESPN and Incablenet here in Mumbai.So what is unusual about it? And who cares about sports aficionodos like me!
