It was a weekend of mixed emotions for me sports wise.
Team India got their collective asses handed to them by Australia. While this in itself is nothing new, the way it happened was just embarrassing. No fight shown. No pride. Pathetic. There are larger questions the Indian Cricket team has to address. They have now lost 8 test matches in a row. Heads have to roll. Cricket is the only game which our people care about....time to see how much.
My Sunday morning started with watching the Lakers playing uninspiring basketball and losing to an undermanned Bucks team. That took the team to a woeful 1-7 road record. They better start balling soon...the season is only 66 games long. 20 games already done. Kobe, give them all an earful...and show a commitment to defense..
I stopped watching tennis regularly after Agassi and Sampras retired. However I've enjoyed the Federer and Nadal battles over the past few years. This years Australian open had Djokovic taking on Nadal in what turned out to be an epic, marathon battle and some of the best tennis I have seen in a long time. Hats off to both of them. And yeah, huge congratulations to Leander Paes for completing a career grand slam. He is the unwavering light of Indian tennis...
The weekend ended on a positive note as Arsenal came back from a 0-2 deficit to win 3-2 and get into the next round of the FA Cup. Arsenal has had too many dry seasons and the FA Cup may just be the catalyst to take the club off into a new era...
