All quiet on the Sports Front

It seems like ages ago when i last watched EPL-Thanks to two years of study without TV .The season starts in august- and by then i'll be in my college,where I suppose i'll hardly get time to watch news or just scores,let alone a full 90 mins match.Euro came and went in no time,and to be honest, it wasnt that interesting. Wimbledon was great and did quench my thirst a bit.Formula One has been a disappointment,unless Sutil or Fisichella quell their love for an early bath and decide to stay on the track for a little longer.As for cricket, the little entertainment the One-day format provided is further reduced,thanks to a certain event named IPL.Its not difficult to guess what will happen to the test cricket,if the recent drawn test match b/w SA and ENG is anything to go by.
I was just thinking that Hockey is so dour that it doesnt even deserve a mention here,but I just saw Indians hitting Paks with Hockey sticks in a match-----atleast the guys are clever enough to acknowledge that following the phrase "beating ur opponents" literally is way more appealing to the public.

"Welcome to England, if anyone is out of form or hasn't played in a while, don't worry, we've done everything we can to make sure you get into form as soon as possible."
Andrew Caddick's tongue-in-cheek response to the pitch in Taunton where the South African batsmen made merry in their tour opener


As for real life(I mean outside TV),today it felt particularly pleasant playing football.I was playing ok,and then I scored a hat trick inside two mins,surely have not done that before.and the first goal was from a header,the other two were one-on one counter attacks.added a fourth later on,again on the counter attack.
Well I went to play after promising mom that it would be the last time before I go to college,but I bet i wont be able to keep it by tomorrow.

"I was drinking my cup of tea and spat it out. We were watching live and then all ran into the dressing-room to watch it on the telly because we were not actually sure we'd just seen that."
Stuart Broad on the the reaction to Kevin Pietersen's switch-hit
