WHO FRAMED GREG CHAPPELL?



It will be interesting to see who wins the battle between ganguly n chappell....i think with the so called "compromise" the BCCI has already won....a closer look at the speculation will tell u y BCCI had actually leaked the e-mail sent by chappell....The BCCI camp led by Dalmiya all along dint want chappell to be the coach,surely!!!!....it was sunny,shastri n kapil who selected the coach for the best-batting-line-up-on-paper,oh yeah the indian cricket team....ganguly no doubt has been a good captain for india....but it is true that he has shaped the team to suit his needs...."he fears the new ball",chappell pointed out,true!!!!he really is afraid of the new ball.y then would he do a "rivaldo"(ball hits him on the legs n he falls down,hands over his head in anguish,that memorable match against turkey) complaining of pain in his elbow....dead rite u r Mr.Chappell when u say that he has let down the team....the time for ganguly,the quickest run getter of 8000 runs in the history of one day cricket,the prince of kolkata,the man who made steve waugh wait in the kolkata heat for the toss....n last but not the least....THE GUY WHO FRAMED GREG CHAPPELL to leave has arrived.

MAN UTD VS LIVERPOOL
the atmosphere was elctric....the stage was set for a thrilling encounter....but it really turned out to be a rather defensive man utd against a not-so-defensive liverpool who pressed so hard but could not find the back of the net....now,man utd without gabriel heinze r struggling....he is sidelined for the rest of the season!!!!!!!....oh god!! wot do u do sir alex???play richardson that tiny-wheres-he-running-5-foot something richardson?????sir alex,u left out park?????pls,gimme a break....the biggest
flaw for man utd in that game was richardson in the right flank,oh yeah! that ever so weak right flank which beckham occupied....the mid field is not wot it used to be....nistelrooy runs up n down the pitch in search of the ball....no one supplies????paul scholes doesnt penetrate enough....n john o shea passes the ball back to van der sar,safe n sound,but he keeps forgetting that the goal is on the other side!!!!!!!a really disappointing performance by man utd.....please sir alex,take out richardson n let park create some space for himself....and sign in a new midfielder of the likes of van bommel from barca,keane is too old!!!!only then can u snatch the premiership from chelsea !!!!

at this point of time i think i should introduce to u my idols or the persons from whom i seek inspiration ....the first person that springs to my mind in undoubtedly the best free kick taker in the world,david beckham....there have been a lotta criticism on him about not performing on the pitch....but he still remains the most sought after player by any club....people might not accept this but this is true....in fact manchester united have not won the premiership since he left(though its only 2 years),but the fact remains that there was an unavoidable void created in the team....he was and still is the best passer of the ball....the pass which bisected two defenders through to ronaldo for a goal is still is vividly clear after almost 2 yrs in my mind....such is the impression he leaves after a game....but probably he saved the best for his last game for man utd and that came against real madrid....he was surprsingly left out on the bench adding to the rift between him n sir alex....real madrid played the best i thought they have ever played....people compared it to the days when de stefano and puskas ran through defences for real....real true to their name(real means royal in spanish),took a commanding 6-3 lead on the aggregate....then in the second half was introduced david beckham....he scored 2 quick goals and the agrregate was 6-5 to real....real players had no answers to his movement....a fact that was later acknowledged by zidane....in the 90th minute,beckham earned a free kick for himself....raul who did not play that match had told later that it was the most tense moment of his career as he sat back n watched the master bend it....fortunately for real the ball missed the poles by a whisker....
the game ended and after the season,it was clear that beckham was leaving....leaving man utd and his father figure,sir alex who nurtured his football skills as a youg player in the man utd youth team and was probably the most instrumental person in shaping up his career....three clubs were pressing for him....ac milan,barcelona,real....real president fiorentino perez played the waiting game....after milan n barca let go their desire to sign him s they cld not afford the price,real opened the doors for him for a record transfer....a day later fiorentino perez called his assistant who was pressing him to sign bekham for a long,lomg time and said "congratulations,sunshine"....the great beckham had joined the great real madrid team and was now a part of the "galacticos" as they would call.

ENGLAND WON THE AHSES????????
while i try n cope up with the catastrophy that occured yesterday(england winning the ashes).....i would like to sum up the series.....
man of the series:aleem dar
player of the series:weather

aleem dar according to me is the player of the series for his 2 wonderful decisions in the fourth test that turned the tide in favour of england.....but for his decision...australia would have won the series....u dont often see an animated simon katich who was hit way above his knee roll n was given out.....now if he had stayed there,australia would have,god knows added another 50 runs,enough to bowl out england......so i still maintain that australia is the best side in the world....they will retain the ashes in 2007.
