Lack of knowledge is like darkness. You need to gain knowledge and your deeds need to reflect your knowledge.

Sports

Cricket - DLF Cup

India lost to Australlia and were eliminated from DLF cup. Though the Indian fielding was excellent and the bowling was good, the Indians failed to reach the moderate total of 213. The puffed and panted and lost the match by 18 runs. The top order failed and the tail did not trouble the scorers much.

Dinesh Mongia returning to the Indian team after World Cup 3 years was the lone warrior. He was cool through his entire innings. All Dhoni and the other batsman has to do was to play singles and give him the batting. But that did not happen. The ball was not coming on to the bat and the batsman went for their shots in this crucial match. Unfortunately not all pitches around the world are unfriendly flat pitches. To put it in a single sentence our batsman failed to ADAPT to the pitch and situation.

The difference between Aussies and rest of the teams are they apply relentless pressure consistently and go for the kill.

It is going to be West Indies Vs Aussies final and the team batting first has a huge advantage.

Mind says it is Aussies and heart wants Lara to lift the DLF cup. Anyway these teams are taking positive steps towards World Cup while Indians will come back and add few more advertisements to their profile....

Tennis - Sunfeast Open

Sania will be taking on Martina Hingis in the semifinals. This is a great opportunity for Sania.
