!Sportsmanship

Recently, the most respectful cricketer, the keeper batsman of Australia quoted the whitewash lost series of Newzealand as 'not needed'. This is highly idiotic and also against the spirit of Cricket from the player with good sportsmanship. Would he told the same if Australia had won the series.

What we call as Team spirit

I wanted to post this blog quite sometime back, however the habit of relaxing stymied me from it. This blog was about the tri-series held in Australia. After beating the Australia in the league matches, England without their good players like Vaughan, Pieterson, Hoggard, Harmison won the finals of the tri-series.
The same England team was treated like a minnow by the same Australian team during the Ashes and also during the tri-series. Really you need to have a great killer instinct to bounce back like this.
Wondering whether our star-studded Indian team has the capability of this kind?. Great team work and attitude from the England team.

Hampi Trip

The execution of the plan which was proposed nearly 2 years ago got materialized last weekend. We booked for the Hampi tour package conducted by KSTDC and the trip started around 8:30 pm on Friday. We reached Mantralayam on Saturday morning. We visited the temple there and the rest of the day went on joruney. We reached Kamalapur around 5 in the evening. We went to view the sunset however we weren't lucky enough to catch great sunset.

The next day visit to Hampi temples started around 9 am. The guide took us to the more significant places and of course, one day is not sufficient for Hampi. Then the trip ends with a visit to TungaBhadra dam.

Here I have a suggestion for KSTDC, maybe they can drop the Mantralayam from the Hampi tour package so that people can spend more time at Hampi.

A day of disappointment

I had been to the Aero show 2007 on Thursday and it was not the memorable day for me. There were no details about the show timings and hence we ended up there nearly 1:30 hours late for 2 pm show. On reaching, we got the info about the IJT's tyre burst. However the pilot was safe.
This resulted in delay and hence no aerobic display of F-18 or F-16 or MiG-35. I went for the show solely for these fighters maneuver. I was really disappointed.

However, there was a consolation with the display of Gripen and Sukhoi-30. GRIPEN a LCA from Sweden was the cynosure of the day with its great maneuvering capabilities and controlling. Very good aerobic display from the pilot.

A very disappointing day for me with no F-18 or F-16 or MiG-25 on the skies. (really an unlucky day).
