Alrite baby! Lance is BAYK on the BIKE! Tour de France starts in < 6hrs and me, am ready to cheer. To all the naysayers – THERE IS NO WINNER OR LOSER IN A BIKE RACE. There are the mortals, and then are the cyclists! For the next 20days, a few hun100,000 fans will line up the alps of france to cheer the 200 odd men who battle their demons to pedel beyond what man was ever supposed to. I can’t be there, this yr but I will cheer – cheer cos THE SPORT IS STILL ALIVE, and cos, IT IS A SPORT WORTH GETTING PAINED FOR!

To LANCE and the rest of the PELETON Viva la TOUR!

Ronnie, the world champion

Watched Snooker after ages today after some discussion on club. So much has changed… Hendry looks more and more tired, Williams has put on too much weight, but Ronnie O Sullivan seems to have taken off to be the best player around.

Back to back world championships, top gear – not bad! And the highest number of 147’s beating Stephen.

147 break in the Championships…


On Top Gear…


Missing this sport to… on telly and actually.

And the WC show begins!

WC begins and here i am, yet to see how the new Indian team looks like. The pics are all of bowlers with menacing looks and the batsmen full of concentration but haven’t seen a ball being bowled or a boundary being hit in ages. No TV, no cricket.

 

Cricinfo 3d link is awesome but no the real deal. Need to find a streaming link soon, anything close to $10 is fine by me to get the rights but can’t afford more than that.

West Indies Vs Pakistan on now. Smith’s done it for WI huh! Read a few days back abt India cruising to a victory over WI and that WI looked pathetic. Is it that or is the Indian team really that good. Any of you really informed cricket pundits who follow the game and know about the present team care to enlighten me about our chances?

For now, GO WI. My Jamaican friend is all excited about the whole of India talking about Jamaica and how cool their dances are… she chatters a lot about it and now her dream of showing off is coming true…

India Aus and India Pak will be in April if what i heard is right… looking forward to them…

Kirimakki

Ok, before I start, I want to say that I was never a big fan of WWF or WWE. Yes, as a kid I had my days of playing those superstar’s cards where we would pit the statistics of a wrestler against the other to win the entire pack from our opponents, but that was it. I haven’t watched a match for ages now and I have no clue what’s happening in there.


But this guy, “The Great Khali” as WWE christened him, made me think as to whether India is the biggest market for wrestling audience so much so that Indian Wrestlers are making an impact on two federations.


Can you believe this man! He stands 7 feet 2 inches tall and weighs a whooping 191 kilos.



Dalip Singh Rana, his original name, hails from Punjab and is a former constable.

He moved to the US in 1999 where he became big in the local wrestling scene from where he moved to Japan to compete in the wrestling tournaments.

This guy also acted in a movie where he played the role of a maniac with limitless energy.



He’s been in WWE only for a couple of months now but has apparently taken smackdown, an event in WWE by storm.

He’s said to have defeated The Undertaker, someone I remember from my childhood for his rituals – and am honestly surprised he still around, twice already and is tipped to be the next champion.



I guess after Sonjay Dutt, whose mannerisms I have seen in the ads of TNA wrestling, The Great Khali is the second Indian in professional Entertainment Wrestling.


Just look at this guy man, what a build. Cha…



Hoping that he learns English real soon and kicks some ass real bad.

World Cup Diary – 1

1) France will not win this time too.

2) Brazil is not invincible.

3) Stars, irrespective of their status in club football will have to build up a reputation in the world stage.

4) EPL employs the worst type of football; the “beautiful” game is still European and Latin American.

5) Patrick Vieira, Lillian Thuram, Emerson and Ronaldo should think again about donning their nation’s colors.

6) Henry will not walk away with any golden stuff, neither will Ronaldo.

7) There is every chance of a minnow reaching up to the semi-final stage and it would be wonderful if it is an impoverished African nation.

8) In 10yrs one will be able to count the number of non-blacks in the international game with a pair of hands.

9) The language spoken on the field when the referee is an Egyptian, the teams are soviet and Latin American countries are either Spanish or French; but never English.

10) Argentina Vs Côte d’Ivoire is still the game of the tournament; Brazil’s game comes in a close second.

11) Cafu at 36 can today beat Marc Overmars when he was 20.

12) And finally we have Harsha Bhogle, Ranvir and Vinay doing what they do best.
