Indian sport this week

Nothing much to cheer about if you are an Indian sports fan...
In Malayasian tri series...Rain is playing spoilsport. Though it was nice to see master is back to his masterwork.
Though I still feel, Tendliya has lost his motivation to play. I don't blame him. He has achieved everything he set out for, more than most (if not not everyone) who ever played the sport.
Why do I say this when he scores a century in the very first proper innings after a 6 month layoff?

Thats the precise reason. There was a question mark on his performance after a layoff (and before it)...he finds a challenge and he destroys it as he has done many times before. But now what...its tough to set challenge for him...
I hope there is some stupid bowler (and team management) who challenges him in the tournaments to come...then we will see the Tendulkar we all want to see...

India @ Field Hockey World cup
They were hoping for a podium finish..they may from the bottom...Its been a pathetic performance to say the least. And guess what effect it will have on the person who is responsible for the dire state of Indian Hockey..KPS Gill..NONE.
And thats the problem, its the politico-bureaucratic state of our sports thats eating into it like termite.
I hope someone wakes up to set the change rolling.

Kudos to Paes for winning the US Open doubles while Martina goes out in style of champions. Roger Federer proved too strong for Andy Roddick while Maria found answers to Justin Henin Hardine.
