Hussey to miss IPL!

April 5, 2009 at 6:30 pm · Filed under IPL ·Tagged , ,

Michael Hussey has opted out of the five games he was to remain available for the Chennai Superkings (i.e. MY TEAM!)

He has cited his poor form and need to recharge his batteries with a break as the reasons! However, he will be available for selection if Superkings make it to the final and semifinal…

My take: I think it will be not be that a major thing. I mean he was crucial to the team last year but given his current form and confidence he is doing both the team and himself a world of good!

Hussey scored just 3 in what will be ultimately a humiliating defeat for the Aussies in the second one day against SA. Aus was bowled out for 131 (after 6-40 at one stage). As I press this, SA look well on their way at 87/2 in 17 odd overs

Rainy day at Malaysian GP

April 5, 2009 at 6:14 pm · Filed under formula 1 ·Tagged , , , ,

Brawn GP once again bagged top honors in the rain cut Malaysian GP!

Button came first, followed by Heifeld (brilliant race just 1 stop), the two Toyotas – Glock and Trulli , Barrichelo, Webber, Hamilton, Rosberg.

Only half points were awarded as less than 75% of race was completed. I again stress the need for a points based champion!

Standings

Some of the highlights of the day were:

  • The start. Alonso pulling off an incredible manouevre to get into 5th place. Rosberg taking the lead
  • Kimi on intermediate before the rain hit, doing the lap 20 seconds slower than others!
  • Kubica engine failure, Heiki darting off the track on his own!
  • Button showed the way its done by sensible pit stops when required – no genius stuff
  • Ferrari not getting any points once again!
  • And man! it was pouring down heavily – cars were actually leaving trails in the water on the track as a boat does! and the rear wings were separating the moisture from the air owing to heavy humidity!

All in all, an overdramatic race with a very unspectacular finish…
