Weekend Wrap

Some things stay the same ...

(Eldrick wins a golf tournament)

Some things change ...

(Roger loses a tennis tournament)

And some things are so fucking head scratching frustrating.

I completely understand why India didn't enforce the follow-on against England; but then to take 60 overs scoring 180 led by their marvellous captain whose scoring rate would make a snail look like the Road Runner was pathetic.

Yes it is my wallet talking. I have understimated India's complete and total fear of returning home without the series win. They would rather reduce England's chances of winning the test from 1% to 0.5% than trying to win the bloody thing.

A nailed-on draw fk it. India don't have the motivation to win, and they will only do so if England chuck it away. Which I don't think they will. In fact, if there is any justice in this world Pietersen will smash 150 off 120 balls to lead England to the biggest comeback since Lazarus.

Sigh, dreams are free. But I can't respect sporting teams and/or persons whose fear of losing is so great they would rather not win than lose. Doubly so when it costs me money :)
