The paper tigers choke again

Tomorrow the media will be baying for the blood of Indian sportspersons. So I don’t have to waste my time on that. Still for the records, I am posting the results over here.

Today the Indian cricket team went down by 66 runs to Pakistan in the Videocon tournament which commenced today in Holland. Indian Team was without its star players. Sachin was ruled out of the tournament due to Tennis Elbow whereas Nehra and Harbhajan were struck by viral fever. Pakistan reached 192 in 33 overs and India could muster only 127 runs.

This was preceded by Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi - the famed doubles pair losing the bronze play off in the Olympics.

The day before that the Indian hockey team lost the semi-final berth when they went down 1-2 to Newzealand.

The only silver lining was the India A team lifting the Triangular Cricket Tournament by defeating Pakistan A by 6 wickets in the final.
