Fatigue takes it toll on team india!


India made a good start in the T20 world cup in its group matches but could not maintain its momentum and eventually lost its way. It was out at the super 8 stages and could not win even a single match against their opponents in that stage. What may be the reason for this disastrous outing?. Many critics attribute this loss to the fatigue factor. The indian caravan has been moving around the globe for more than two years continuosly without a break. And still there are lots of mathes and tournaments scheduled for the near future.Should they not be given a break??.


Players are human too and they need some time off to re charge themselves!. Will BCCI ever get this?.They want to make more and more money and seldom think about the team or the injured players.And the players inturn hide their injuries for the fear that they may be showed the door!.This attitude should change if we are to be a consistent winning team.Hope everyone gets it right.

Wimbledon 2009


Its wimbledon season and tennis fans all over the world are immersed in the sport.The wimbledon is this years second grand slam and an eagerly awaited tournament both among the spectators and the players. Last years tournament saw the top seeded Roger Federer facing an upset defeat in the hands of maverick ace Rafael Nadal. This marked the end of fedex as the list topper and nadal rightly replaced him at the top of the rankings. Though there were a lot of controversies that followed the results of the match and the conditions at which it was played,rafa was the clear winner and everyone accepted that. This year it was rafa's top priority to defend the title that he had won from fedex, but unfortunately the tenditis at his knee took centerstage and forced him to back out!!!.


It was a big blow to all tennis fans that rafa couldn't make it to the wimbledon.He also missed the Queens.So now it is Federer who has a better chance to regain the trophy he lost to spanish bull last year.Lets see what turns out!!.
