Yesterday was a sad day yet again for Indian sports fans.

We lost in hockey against New Zealand thanks to the controversial decision to award penalty corners (four of them) after the end of time whistle. But that is not an excuse. We played badly, Baljeet especially. He missed a couple of very simple chances and thats the reason we lost.

We lost against Pakistan in tri-nation cricket tournament in Holland. It was jus pathetic. Tendulkar was not playing in the match and batting collapsed, as they say, like a pack of cards. This shows that we still need him and hes still the backbone of the team.

Lee-hesh are out of the competition. I was so sure about a medal from them that I still cant believe that they are out. But they tried their best. The last score was 6-7 (5-7), 6-4, 14-16.
