interesting tour diary

Ashes.... one of the greatest cricketing contests.......

ranks up there..

india Vs pak...
West indies Vs Australia (in the past!!)
England Vs Australia
Australia Vs New Zealand....

i think are the most popular match ups..where loosing a match is sacrilege ...

ashes is going on.....

australia won 2 matches... esp the second one was too much.. from a position where draw was the only result... they won..... simply amazing... i mean ... you ave to admit it..they are damn good.. and what more Ponting is in the form of his lufe and i am confident he will cross Sachin's 35 record in the series.. well i admit.. i want him to do that.... at least one record without sachin's name... well anyway...

then as i was reading.......online papers... i saw an interesting article by giles..... a diary fo what all he went through... he dropepd a catch.... he is one of those cricketers who is not good enough to be a domestic bowler.. but because of his work ethic and hard work.. has played so many matches for England... though there are days where it is necessary to acept thefact that work ethic is not enough... monty is a better bowler.. and has chances of developing into a great one.. he has the potential.. so its time the english realsie it and start encouraging him.. by discouraging him.. tey are using a bowler who si not capable and the same time destroying monty's confidece... so 2 bad things!!

but... i pity Giles.. i would have loved to have him play.. bcos he gives more than 100% and is a fighter... the kind i love..... you might not be good enough to win.. but fight for it is my way of looking at life..... read this by giles... to see what all a cricketer has to go thru...
