Its been a disastrous sports weekend for me as a fan in every sense possible:
1. Hamilton destroyed any opposition that dared to raise its head, on his way to his maiden glory at his Home Grand Prix at the Silverstone Race Track.
When you lap 2 World Champions, and every other car apart from the ones on the podium , including lapping your own team mate...

- Either you are Spectacular
- Or Its just your lucky day
Well in Hamilton's case it was a bit of both. Massa's crash during practise coupled with some scintillating laps by the McLarens in the Qualifying stage seems to have cost Ferrari, I dunno, may be some confidence I guess...
Nonetheless, it was refreshing to see not only a Honda finish the race, but Rubens on the podium. That bloke has an illustrious career behind him, but for quite sometime has been a bit off colour. To come to think of it, he went pointless for the entire duration of last season. Go on Rubens, hope you continue the form, and hope the duo of the Iceman and Massa have a much better performance in the next race, the World Championship is surely hotting up with a 4 way battle between the 2 Ferraris, Hamilton and Kubica...
2. India back in form and loose MISERABLY yet again in a final to the Lankans...
All the papers have been going on about with the question, "Who is that boy Mendis?' and "How does India always manage to choke in a final so consistently?"
This is the closest I can find to all the hype about Imran Khan (From the JTYJN fame). The less said about the loss the better (India's of course).
Now reports suggest that Dhoni wants to take a 'break' and not be a part of the Test Series in Sri Lanka. I agree its been too much Cricket off late. Its got to me and Im bored myself. After a wonderful inaugural IPL &20, the Bangladesh tour and now the Asia Cup, all being high scoring games and hardly having any break in between, things dont feel any different anymore.
300 seems to be a not so difficult chase even if you are 50 / 3 after 12 overs.
But like a friend of mine says we need an Indian tour to New Zealand or a match where the first innings score is 150 and the team manages to defend that total ( A 50 over match obviously).
3. Finally the game that gave me 7 heart attacks and a heart ache since the match has gotten over... It deserves a post of its own. So read up on that too...
