Am I a sports lover?... in a way I am... ok enuf sports babbling when the best that I can do myself is some offspin n jus a few chess tricks.........
Though talk about computer games n u have got a tough competitor.....hah I’m really getting out of the subject.... so my fav. ten sports personalities would be...
- SACHIN TENDULKAR : No surprises! eh I will tell u what... why do u love this man...why does everybody... Here is an insight....
------ he can hit cover drives of just short of length balls with ease which is both admirable n can cause jealousy.
------ when he is in his top gear any bowler n I say any bowler can get the feeling as if bowling to THE GOD. he can hit u wherever he wants...
------ he is the modest n humble like no one in the world...
ZIDANE : Simply cos he is a magician. The ball seems to follow hiscommand.. he surprises not only the opposition but also his fellow players with his wonderful passes n touches. Impeccable control n cool head...
GORAN IVANISEVIC: just bcos any of the men that come n go in tennis, no one can boast of ending games within a minute with ground shattering aces as regularly as this guy.... he is a master.... he has a gift...
MICHAEL JORDAN: even when I don’t like or see much of basketball I can get this thing clear... no one has the confidence with the ball or the talent with it like the great michael jordan....
MICHAEL JOHNSON: among all the great atheletes why him..? just look at any of his 400 m or 200 m n just look at his face n the straight body. He looks like a powerhouse on run..
WASIM AKRAM: the sultan of swing .... I read his interview once where he said that he bowls every ball to get a wicket no matter who the batsman or what may be the conditions... u have to love such a focussed guy n raw talent....
GARY KASPAROV: cos he is a genius, a real one n he has a lot of arrogance to go with it... may be the computer did him good.
MICHAEL SCHUMACHER: I don’t think motor sports is really my kind but guys can any one be so consistent (foul play?)
STEVE WAUGH: he can captain any side to victory I suppose... a fighter n knows how to get the best out of the talent at his disposal... professional to the core
V.V.S. LAXMAN: why include his name does he really deserve to be in the list..? may be no.. but I have included him just to let know that real talent is always appreciated by me more than performance... may be he is low on temperament... but can u match his effortless cover drives or wristy flicks.... the hyderabadi skills at its best.
So these are the bunch of guys... u may say I am biased then may be I am cos I dig for real talent...
