In the confederation's cup Claudio Bravo goalkeeper of Chile impressed me the most saving 3 penalties in the semifinals.Though I am not a big cricket fan I do watch it sometime and I used to play in school but this is the first time I am hearing about the Duckworth-Lewis system in the ICC Champions Trophy. Once squash is in the Olympics hopefully Nepal will get a medal ;) .<br /><br /> Arhanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00127637318682373880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293872509981147958.post-25665974263448303382017-07-06T08:04:14.590-07:002017-07-06T08:04:14.590-07:00Hefty and pleasurable dollops of nostalgia for spo...Hefty and pleasurable dollops of nostalgia for sports lovers - including for those who are now retired from active life or are no longer involved in the passions, and pitfalls, of career advancement, pursued mainly to sustain the personal ego. <br />Make sure that the 'chiya' in your 'pasal' is always refreshingly hot and always stimulating.Mana Ranjan Jossenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293872509981147958.post-52361914359731556752017-07-06T05:37:03.754-07:002017-07-06T05:37:03.754-07:00Something I overlooked mentioning initially.

The four Grand Slam tennis tournaments - Australian Open in January, French Open in May, Wimbledon in July and the US Open in September - have five-setters for men and three-setters for women. Prize money for both men and women are comparable. Men need to be allowed to play best of three sets too. Five set matches, when they go the length, are often too long and takes interest away from the game. Three setters would be more action-filled and exciting.

I was looking for an option to "fire in the belly" which these Eastern European women tennis players seem to have.

Wimbledon Men's final is being played on the day I leave for London so I miss that live match. Will be happy to catch the Ladies final as surely one of the Eastern European players will be there, but what is the "eye of the tiger"?Subodh Ranahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961978685529060850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293872509981147958.post-7818535864338301812017-07-06T00:18:12.501-07:002017-07-06T00:18:12.501-07:00Enjoyed your blog.

It took me back to the days when we wrote essays in school, especially in Godavri in 8 th standard and how Fr Watrin wrote the coveted "Excellent" in his typical handwriting. This blog would clearly be in that category. Thanks very much for bringing back a flood of memories.Buddha Basnyatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293872509981147958.post-88577315384822008042017-07-04T20:54:19.697-07:002017-07-04T20:54:19.697-07:00Well written and I absolutely loved your comments....Well written and I absolutely loved your comments.Highly recommend you to be a sports columnist or a commentator!Govindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09897115182269003549noreply@blogger.com
