Big sporting month

March 30, 2011

So my last post was about the World Cup Soccer (Football) in South Africa. I have been very slack updating my blog but I will try and do better! So the Cricket World Cup has been going on for the last month, I haven't been able to watch many of the games being in a non-cricketing country. However I have been able to follow it on the internet, and found some places to watch the games.

Anyway the World Cup is in the sub-contintent, and not surprisingly the sub-contintent teams are dominating. My team, Sri Lanka, have made it in the finals. The only downside of Cricket is the seedy world of sports betting and match fixing that surrounds the game. Its the way that boxing was irreversibly damaged. Watching the India v Pakistan, semi-final on at the moment reach its final stages. The way that Pakistan has played you have to wonder if there wasn't some players on the take. Anyway Sri Lanka will take on India in the World Cup final most likely, in one of the biggest televised events. Unfortunately no one in the US cares Smile

March Madness however is something that has been huge in the US, and this time around I have been watching a few more games. If Arizona had made one of the last 2 3s in that super close game, I probably would have won my bracket competition for almost $3k, tho im still in with a chance, and regardless the basketball has been very entertaining. Last 2 years in the bracket comp I have finnished dead last, so this is a welcome change. I did watch Glory Road this week, which was an entertaining film about the first College Team to field an all black team, which went on to win the NCAA championship.

Cmon Sri Lanka, beat India in the world cup final in India ! On a side note Harbharjan Singhs thanks to his gurus was hilarious. Thanked many people ending in baba jis.
