The Ashes, World Cup and Manchester United

 How big are the Ashes? Enormous! Humongous! Huge! ...so say the OZ. No wonder as they have not been winning many in last few. The first test is currently going on at Brisbane Cricket Ground. England 171/0 and still trailing by 50 in second innings. Aussies bowling attack ain't no potent anymore for sure! Also England are much better team since a year..especially after winning the T20WC.

 What else going on? The tennis masters. Love this event where the top 8 seeds in men take on each other. Nadal beat Murray to set up a final clash with Federer who beat Djokovic. Another Federer-Nadal final. This time though, my money is on Fedex. I just hope he does not cry!!!

 Manchester United. Old Trafford. These two words are very close to me since last 6 years. I used see all their matches before I started working. They are a club with a great pedigree of players  like David Becham, Ryan Giggs, Van Nisterooy, Rooney, Christiano Ronaldo, Scholes, Van De Saar, Neville, Ferdinand...and I can go on and on. Some of them are not here anymore, but here is where they became superstars.Last year was all Chelsea...unchallenged and dominant. This year I hope ma club give them a run for their money. Yesterday Manchester United spanked Blackburn Rovers 7-1,  5 from Berbatov to take them top of the table.

  World Cup 2011. They say all good things come to end one day. This is gonna be last world cup for Sachin Tendulkar. Cricket without Tendulkar will be very dull and it will be an end of an astaunishing era and there are not enough words in the English language to epitomise the greatness and legend of Sachin Tendulkar. World Cup is 82 days away. To be held in the subcontinent. Having won by the OZ last 3 times, they not gonna win for sure this time. I bet on India, Pakistan, South Africa to be sure shots to reach the last 4. 4th slot is open.  India should reach the final at least and hopefully win it!!!
