Motorcycle Diaries :Breakfast Ride

Finally, I am able to get my ass out of Pune city. Thanks to Vicky, we planned a Breakfast ride. I got up around 5 am. We left for Panshet for Sunrise.

My bull was in full flow. After some polishing , shining like a bulky fighter bull.

I love it. The speed , momentum , thumping n everything.

            We reached Khadakwasala. Clicked some pictures. Midway there was a nice spot. We decided to stop for sunrise there only. It was pristine and very beautiful.

Then we headed for Sinhgad fort, where we had breakfast.  The road was complete mess.

But we sailed.

PS: It was a nice experience. I need LED lights. 

30 th March 2011......

Today morning i was reading an article about hype surrounded about Ind- Pak match and I cant hide my excitement and and ohh my god i am too excited for their 30th March semifinal affair at Mohali.
No doubt today Ind will beat helpless Aussie, i am not worried at all about today's match. 30 th March going to be a big day.
Shoaib will retire after this match. I love that bowler, menace on the field.

PS:- Gargi, you owe me a treat...

Thanx Cricinfo, very informative and spell bounding articles. I fancy reading PLAYS article after each match. Too good and hilarious.

Flat pitch

Yesterday, we played Student-Teacher friendly match. It was fun, considering the fact was we won by keeping just an over spare, so it was a close shave. Though it was our second string team, boys showed lot of class so do teachers. Kale, Pandit and Ladkat sir were simply amazing. Pandit sir has got a nice bowling sense and amount of measured flight he was giving to his delivery it was very difficult to put them out of block. Kale sir was very athelatic as he was last year, but this time Man of the match was Pandit sir for his skilled bowling effort.

PS:- Most pleasing moment on a field are...
1) To see the stumps get uprooted and fly in the air, sheer fast bowlers delight.
2) Let ball go high in the air and sailed beyond the rope and slowly watched its trajectory.

BCCI banned bouncers in domestic cricket.

Yup, Cricket is my favorite sport, but I haven’t written a single post related to cricket yet.

That is somewhat weird, so here I am with wicked cricket post, rather breaking news.

BCCI banned bouncers in domestic cricket.

From our reporter it came out that, recently held BCCI meeting(they supposed to meet select indian team for Asia cup) they came out banning bouncers in domestic cricket.

In a press release they said that….

“Being gentleman’s game we should ban such outrageous act of bowling bouncers to batsman. Bouncers can be proving to be very dangerous to health.” For avoiding bouncers ( yes, because Indian batsman never attack bouncers, except SRT) batman had to do following things.

1. Duck! Yes for avoiding bouncer you have to set your eye on the ball and then duck! So that ball sails over batsman’s head. Sometimes varied bounce can cause lot of trouble. The timing of your ducking may not get right, and you may have to face chin music.(remember Dada).

2. Protect expensive helmet. Yes, our batsman cant afford to splash out money on helmet and such things.( oh yes, they have to save it for IPL nights)

3. Excessive ducking can cause slip disk. Back ache..( Yuvi does not fit in this scheme, because he seems to be lot more flexible shaking his body while dancing on ramp)

BCCI new regulations. ( Though rules can be changed by MCC, but BCCI rules on money power)

- Bouncer will be called no ball, also free hit will be awarded.

- If any bowler bowled two bouncers in an over, he will barred for bowling in the match.

- If bowler bowls bouncer in the match, his 10% match fee will be deducted for each bouncer.

- Bowlers who bowls speedy bouncer, ask to check their speed.( sometimes it gets difficult to spot the ball)

- BCCI will raise this bouncer issue in next ICC meeting. K Shrikanth (chief selector) will meet various cricketing board presidents. He will try to make one opinion on this issue. ( Pawar reportedly lured them stakes in IPL teams, if they co operate.)

PS: West Indian bowlers are thinking of quitting cricket.( of course bouncer is their main weapon.)

For more breaking news stay connected.

Clinical

It was indeed a clinical performance from Nadal in semis. He won all the matches in 3 setter, such was his dominance that it was very hard for his opponents to break his serve, forget about winning a set.

Now final will be tomorrow, its Soderling( guy who beat Nadal last year) vs Nadal.

Today is women's singles final, between Shivochone and Stostur, both played really great tennis. I am sure it going to be mouth watering clash.

Btw Paes is also in Doubles final. Lets see if he able to clinch his 12th grand slam title.

Big Upset

Its been real dissappoint for everybody. Yes, the man is out of French Open. Roger Federer aka RF is out of FO. He was defeated by Robin Soderling,last year finalist who was then defeated by RF, now he avenges that loss.

The condition was overcast but still Robin played his heart out. His thundering service was hard to return for the emperor. Now Nadal had very tough task ahead, because last year Soderling was the man who defeated Nadal. This year French Open may get new winner.

PS: Hats off to RF. Man never lose control even in worst phases.
