Finally i write the greatest sporting moment.What took me so long?? Well actually I was stuck up on two great events and couldnt decide which should be classified as the greatest and finally i decided that both of the sporting moments deserve a mention......So here are my 2 greatest moments ever in sports history that I have been witness to...
1) ASHES 2005 England claim the Ashes in 18 long years.
The Ashes of 2005.....forget what it meant to the English cricket and English sport in general.....forget it literally shattered Aussie domination on the sport.......forget that for the first time in a decade cricket took the front page headlines away from football in UK......forget every other thing associated with that series.......Even on the basis of sheer quality of cricket it was unbelievable....Extraordinary would be an understatement....the drama...the excitement...the batting ...the bowling..the fielding....who the hell says test cricket is boring....Every moment of that series was amazing...I am going to make an entire new entry in this blog to describe that series.....just wait for it!!!
1) Wimbledon Final , Nadal beats Federer ,July 6 2008
This particular moment will require 2 separate entries to full describe it.....Heres an outline....The greatest player ever...5 time Wimbledon champ losing against a player who by his own admission is not at all comfortable on grass.....The greatest Wimbledon final ever........the longest lasting final ever......the last point played in virtual darkness...That was not sport....That was like watching two heavenly descendants playing on the earth and we mortals simply witnessing it.....I was glued to the TV sets for the entire 8 hours the match lasted including the rain breaks......And believe me I was on the edge of my sit for the entire 8 hours....I could only imagine the tension in the arena....and especially tension on that 2 great men...And despite that numbing tension the two produced arguably the greatest 8 hours of tennis that the world has ever seen or will ever see......
