A great day for freedom!
What a great day yesterday was. The 12th of March, 2006.
It certainly needs to be marked and should go into the dairies.
It was a feast for an absolute sports freak like me and the enthusiasts all over. A perfect day to sit back and enjoy. Sundays were never too fun!

India doing an early damage to put England aback
Punjab C.A. Stadium, Mohali, Chandigarh.
Though, this one is no where a near proximity in the level of excitement the other events brought later in the day, it's worth cribbing a couple of lines. And by the time I posted this, India pulled off a victory!
The Aussies' massacre and the Proteas' reply

The Aussies' massacre and the Proteas' reply
New Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg.
What a batting track that was at the Wanderers.

Many a poor 5.5 oz weighing ball had a tough time yesterday getting slammed into the stands and running all over across the lush green to the ropes.
Credit to the kangaroos, for I saw what I thought I'd never see. A team surpassing the 400 mark in a LOI.
More credit to Smith's men, for they generated a fever which wracked our nerves, watching it live.

Never did I saw a team chasing such a massive total, playing with such levels of confidence the South Africans displayed.
The way the Proteas took on the Aussie bowlers was truly glorifying.
Poor Lewis have had his worst day...113 off his quota of 10 overs!!
Bahrain GP, Sakhir, Bahrain.
It's basically Schumi's sport. A few call it Formula 1 though.

An amazing start for the Ferrari team with a 1, 2 finish in Saturday's qualifying.
Poor Massa messed it up and didn't do well in the race;
Schumi was leading till half-way when he had to stop in the pits and clocked 8.7" while Alonso had it done in a second less.
A fucking second made all the difference; 1/86400 th of a day costed the all time great Schumacher 2 points.
But the race was thrilling over all with Schumi trying desperately to pass the Renault car and finished a close second.
Anyway, it was amazing to see the master back on the podium and reckoned that he'd be back there again. Watch out for the next one in Kuala Lampur this week-end.
It's United all the way
Old Trafford, Manchester.
The Reds started off with a blitzkrieg, with Rooney scoring two goals in a span o
f 5 mins.
At 12', Manchester Utd. lead Newcastle Utd 2-0.
Though, Fergie's men had a few chances later, they didn't score and had to finish 2-0.

The day would have had a perfect finish had Liverpool's Steven Gerrard didn't make a blunder passing it wrong to Arsenal 's Thierry Henry. It was a give away lollipop to Henry and he did convert it in style. Arsenal finished it off 2-1.
