Being Pathan...

Cricket fans can remember Feb-10-2009 as the day of Brother's day for a long time to come.Hussey brothers forced the Kiwis to play the decider in Brisbane and Pathan brothers proved, why India are the T20 world champion. I missed the first half an hour of play and my friend Saswat told me that Irfan pathan dropped an easy chance of Dilshan.Suddenly every act of Irfan Pathan whether it was bowling or fielding was looking ordinary to me and Saswat told me not to be worried because his sixth sense was telling him that Irfan Pathan would be the key factor in this match. When India were seven down for 115, I desperately wanted his sixth sense to be true and after the match I wanted to cast him(Saswat) in place of Bruce Willis if I would be the casting director for Manoj Night Shyamalan's movie. Any way the Pathan brothers provided the best entertainment which we were longing for the past two week and deservingly big brother got the man of the match.Now the tour to the land of black caps and I hope the selectors will give them the chance in the playing eleven and I have great regard for Chika which I want to continue.

Busby Babes - Munich Disaster

In April 1955 UEFA established the European cup, a football competition for the champion clubs of the UEFA-affiliated nation but in the first league itself English league winner Chelsea denied the entry by the UEFA then something great happened in the following season. Manchester United won the English league managed by Mat Busby. They defied the league and the odds to reach the semi final of the Champions league, eventually knocked out by Real Madrid who went on to win the UEFA cup. Again they secured the entry in the UEFA cup for the next season but destiny had stored something else for them.
This blog is dedicated to the Busby babes who always live by their passion.

Cut down in their prime,
In silence, on that day,
February 58, they got what they need,
From Belgrade and back home to sleep

We will never forget you:

Eddie Colman
Duncan Edwards (survived the crash, but died in hospital 15 days later)
