TOW All Lost

Sunday was a bad day.. really bad..
Ok before I recollect what was bad about Sunday.. Let me discuss TOW, I got lot all the seasons of friends from a friend. And all the episodes were named like TOW xxxx..
After some time another friend told me that TOW stands for "The One With". so taking a cue from that I named this post as "The One When" All Lost. (I have been watching lot of friends lately)

So the crux is that yesterday was a great weekend for a sports freak like me (F1, Wimbeldon final and Asia Cup final) and naturally I was supporting temas in all of these tournaments but alas all of them lost..

In F1, I was supporting Ferari, but they could not make to the podium.. :( Though the race was really eventful .. lot of spinning (because of rains and wet track) and only 13 drivers could complete the race. First disappointment of the day.. more were to come.

Asia Cup, India did well to restrict Srilanka below 300, but they could have done better, Had RPSingh caught Jayasuriya when he was at 50. But still the target was totally achievable on a flat pitch that saw targets of 300 chased with ease.
India started off in style with Sehwag in a punishing mood and raced to 74/1 in 9 overs. But then SriLanka used their new bowler (branded as new Murali) and one of the most formidable battling line up collapsed like a pack of cards. The best players of spin had no clue and India lost by huge margin. Another disappointment but the worst was yet to come

Wimbeldon, the castle of Roger was at-last conquered by none other than Nadal. What a game it was.. A truly see-saw battle between two great fighters.. But in the end Roger lost and so does BigV (lost a costly bet). This was a total heart break. Roger was not at his level best but then to he gave a fight to Nadal. And to be truthful I dont line the game of Nadal, Though he is the winner but his game is not as classy as that of Roger, rather it is more of hard work running around and just trying to sent back the return (though he has improved a lot in that as well). On the contrary Roger is pure class, only problem with him being his backhand which is not very strong. And Nadal used this deficiency of Roger to the full extent directing every ball to the champ's backhand. In the end Roger lost and I must say he tried extra hard for each point which deserves accolades. But the bottom line remains "Jo Jita wohi Sikandar" and that was the biggest disappointment of Sunday.

PS: Never want a Sunday like this :(
