comprehensively the better side while we have squeaked home in the game that we have won and thats boiled down to a consistency in the aussie performance however as the series gets longer the tests for the less experienced aussie campaigners is going to get tougher india on the other hand is playing under a new captain not afraid to chop and change the dynamics and willing to experiment much like dravid was in his first series as skipper consistency is not the strong suit but a willingness to fight sure is for the series to go down to the wire though we ll need a bit more of the first along with large doses of the second october 9 2007 sfx 11 comments the gold rush they say that pictures are worth a thousand words when one looks back at these one wonders what the doubt was all about this is marion jones and yes the photograph is the end of the 100m finals at the sydney olympics and this ahead of the haze and carl lewis is ben johnson at the 1988 seoul olympics 100m sprint more often than not though sport is about that special someone who is far ahead of the pack or the game trier just a celebration of the spirit uncompromising and unaided there 100 words already enough said october 6 2007 sfx 13 comments what the deuce i happened to be a proud recipient of a complimentary pass to the kingfisher open men s singles final match conducted in mumbai last sunday now i have always been a tennis fan but never had the opportunity to watch a live tennis match oliver rochus v s richard gasquet i hope i got the spellings right seemed a decent contest frankly not a federer sampras exhibition match but then i wasn t charged sgd 200 either once the match started one could figure out that there were 2 camps within the spectators those who supported rochus and those who were opposed to the rochus supporters now the rochus supporters were those perennial animal lovers whose love of the underdog can take them to any length show us indians an underdog and we will show you our hero the atmosphere was carnival like the only thing missing was a ferris wheel the rochus supporters were misguided by the learned commentator that their hero was pronounced as rock us instead of the actual roh kews so every time he won a point there was a deafening chanting of rockus rockus the gasquet faction would take this as a personal slight and start their own chanting chak de rock us was another crowd favourite every point was cheered so what if it were a double fault or an unforced error the average time between 2 points was double the normal point as each party wanted to have the last word the poor players would look up a couple of times for the crowd to stop the chants the chair umpire would say thank you which would spur the spectators to greater heights in their chants the off court events were much more attractive than the on court game so i won t waste my time describing the match it will never be known whether oliver rochus lost to a superior opponent or to the continued pillorying of his name by his supporters but in the end it was the tennis spectator who was the winner amen not just anywhere this was in mumbai at the cci the moot point is that its not only teams players who need coaches our country needs training in the basic etiquettes of sport watching a policeman walking across the sight screen is one of the common sights in indian cricket clapping in the middle of a point is considered encouragement be it tennis table tennis badminton you name it we as as a nation are acting like the nouveau rich in the sport arena we might have the money power to organise a tournament run a full sport but maybe we should outsource the spectators i agree that we as a society suffer from this boorishness across all spectrum of life be it sport be it public conduct but to imbibe a sports culture we need to be sporting to be champions we need to learn to act as one else we will end up seeing the sreesanths of the world being idolised for their aggressiveness not accepting defeats to a better side clapping on an opponents double fault i have always been a die hard indian fan and have complained at unfair treatment meted out to us by umpires referees foreign media but we have to be fair before asking for neutrality from others anyway think that s a separate topic p s one of the songs playing in the background that day was we will we will rock you anyone for poetic injustice posted by rahul october 3 2007 sfx 12 comments check de india there s no point in getting into arguments about who india s greatest sportsman is those kind are just interesting talking points and blog posts but vishwanathan anand s sponsors niit call him india s mind champion anyone feel like arguing many years ago anand recalls once i was on this train in india one elderly gentleman sat next to me and started talking he asked what i did i said i am a chess player the man was not convinced he said yes but what do you do does your father own a business i said no i play chess after 10 minutes the man looked me staright in the face and said all this chess is very nice if you can be viswanathan anand but you i am not sure after this i couldn t get myself to tell this gentleman who i was but i realised that maybe i was on to something yesterday vishy anand became world chess champion for the second time this one though was a bit more special than the first in that it was undisputed no wranglings within the fide about recognising various bodies no parallel tournaments being run no politics a mere 70 elo points seperating the top 8 players and no notable absentees yes kramnik was there and anand came out of it all undefeated the undisputed champion of the world p s many years ago a brijnath piece on vishy anand note the part about the autobiography only when i win the world championships thats a book to have october 1 2007 sfx 7 comments warne s 50 and australia s xi a few weeks ago shane warne writing a column for the times in the uk started unleashing a list of 50 greatest cricketers he had played with or against as with all things warne it was not without its share of the controversial the list opened and in its first ten i e 50 41 itself there were surprises at numbers 50 and 49 were two people who had never played a test those who were going to miss the cut had already been sledged 40 31 was a middle of the road kind of part of the list just that stuart macgill 40 matches 198 wickets at 27 20 came in at 39 tim may 24 matches 75 wickets at 34 74 came in at 31 then the fun really started as we moved into the 30 21 shane prefaced it by saying that this part seems to ruffle a few feathers here and there steve waugh came in at 26 not just any other number but the top of the bottom half of the list warne s explanation was this may raise a few eyebrows yes he scored a lot of runs but to me he was a match saver rather than a match winner that is why he is not higher there were also times when he struggled against the short ball but he had good all round capabilities and was always reliable in the gully mark taylor handed him a wonderful team at 25 one notch above was warne s buddy darren lehmann 1 798 test runs to waugh s 10 927 stephen fleming made it to 23 a kiwi skipper ranked higher by a guy you led wonder how an aussie feels about that 20 11 came around and right down at 20 was adam gilchrist a guy who would probably make most teams chosen for the time period we are talking about merv hughes was a surprise entrant at 18 and mark waugh showed up well above steve waugh at 12 the top ten is well his top ten its hard to argue and so long as it has sachin at one i won t take a look at it and actually the top 11 are a pretty handy team batting order mine mark taylor sachin tendulkar ricky ponting brian lara allan border ian healy wasim akram curtly ambrose glenn mcgrath courtney walsh mutthiah muralitharan at the end of the day its shane warne s team and he s entitled to stir the pot all he likes there are notable exceptions vvs probably the most glaring for me looked in its entirety though the list is very shane warne and by that i mean it has a lot of talking points in itself without going into the subtleties merv hughes higher than waqar no damien martyn no dean jones inzamam but when we do let that dust settle comes the real stuff and thats when the vanity and ambition show the on field heroism of the author apart if you look at it in an unbiased manner there is a lot of washing of dirty linen in public here stuart macgill has the best strike rate for instance and there s very little doubt that he d have got a far longer run if had played in any era apart from one which was inhabited by warne s awesome presence that 39 is hardly encouraging in 1999 steve waugh and shane warne were contenders for taking over captaincy from mark waugh steve waugh got the job if that was not reason enough for a bit of trouble in waugh s first series as skipper this happened by the time of those drug allegations at the world cup and the great steve waugh john buchanan partnership the relationship was probably symbiotic in a selfish kind of way the rationale for the steve waugh position is the one that makes it so dodgy steve waugh s average in tests that australia won was 69 as opposed to 35 in drawn games 25 of his 32 centuries led to australia victories and while its true that he inherited a very good outfit from mark taylor its also true that he transformed it into a great one by ironically removing draws from the equation to a large extent adam gilchrist all of ten slots behind ian healy is one thing one imagines the part that would hurt a little bit is this he is still a batsman keeper rather than the other way round and the part that must really sting at the age of 36 but his keeping is improving what the list does is tell a fascinating if largely untold story about a essential component of the australian success story these are larger than life superstars pillars of the game who were willing to put the personal differences aside each time they put on the baggy green that apart the list is shane warne s its as personal as a text message september 28 2007 sfx 3 comments that top of the world feeling knock knock who s there misba misba who misba 5 runs just for a brief while yesterday surely an old nightmare came back to haunt a few people a young man named sharma ran in to bowl to a determined possessed pakistan batsman thats when the comparisons ended that was 21 years ago i was older then i feel younger now joginder sharma ran in to bowl after a brief chat with his skipper a slower one presumably and sreesanth settled in at 45 a few moments later india was cradling cricket s latest child world champions of the 1st twenty20 world cup they say that there is nothing you should fear more than people who are scared or wary put it down to the format or the exuberance of youth or a combination of both but fear was never the main emotion on display right from the time of the bowl out to the victories over england south africa australia and back to the finals the unchained melody has been the theme twenty20 with an india pakistan final has captured a vast market that part is unarguable its also true though that the format itself leaves itself open to the cynics justifiably sixes and fours rain bowlers feel good with 7ish economy rates batsmen don t value wickets building an innings is almost a sin almost each toss has the losing skipper saying conditions won t change much with 3 hour match durations those are understatements things move lightning quick dot balls are gold risk is not a four letter word in such a scenario how tough is it being fearless and yet m s dhoni has been outstanding whether it be the simplicity of choosing the bowlers in a high pressure bowl out lets not talk about what thats doing in a cricket match or his selections or the batting orders or the belief he has shown in his men he has barely put a foot wrong applauding even miffed though sincere efforts in the field keeping interaction with bowlers during overs to the minimum having the courage with field placements in tight games he has shown the ability to multi task in clearly high pressure games remember this prior to the world cup india had played only one international twenty20 game ms dhoni had been keeping for two and a half months of the english tour incessantly its been an outstanding beginning but and this part is important its only a beginning twenty20 is not the real deal in all of dhoni s success are a number of gambles and as he ll find out fortune does not always favour the brave nor does the media we ll leave that for later though for now to him and his team a huge well done earlier post on dhoni here september 25 2007 sfx 16 comments the circle of life six months ago to the day india played its last game at the world cup two days before that and a few hours after finding out about the death of their coach pakistan had played its last match at the world cup as well two great cricket superpowers brought to their sporting knees all seemed lost a generation of greats had their dreams of a world cup win gone forever and they were photographed those photographs that captured their broken dreams and somewhere a fear that we would now put them to trial for losing tomorrow india will play pakistan in the finals of the twenty20 world cup so much has changed in six months so much has happened this past week a new generation of cricketers have come to the fore a new form of the game has caught the world s imagination the superpowers have turned to youth and at various times have looked unbeatable and tomorrow they meet again someone will lose a sporting contest it will not change the fact that yesterday s gone like it always does september 23 2007 sfx 3 comments winning is everything considering that this is now the 176th post on this blog i am amazed that i have managed to keep away from my favourite sport not one post in almost six months on formula 1 the reason s quite simple a first post would simply have to be on michael schumacher that it would then unleash a long possibly unending series was immaterial but i was and am sure i would never be able to do justice to a guy whose performance was exemplified by this race driving is not a test of courage or a feat of strength you have to be able to tell whether the car can take a particular corner at a particular speed or not it is up to you to know how you take this corner but if you need courage to do it you have a problem it s about knowing where the limits lie 7 world championships 91 wins of 249 races 154 finishes on podium 61 85 of the time 190 finishes in the points 76 3 5 5 points on an average each
