india wins!!!!







1went for men's hockey Asia cup finals in radhakrishnan stadium in egmore, chennai. india defeated korea 7-2. hockey is just so much fun to watch. its so fast and you cant take your eyes off even for a second. watching the game in stadium just dropped the graph for my love for even lower which has already been falling from long time, last major crash was during the fifa world cup and now after watching hockey in real stadium theres very little hope left. i just dont understand how people can watch it for whole day. i mean how can people have so much time? and test matches? omg dont even talk about them. India still lives on cricket. actually even for the finals of asia cup there were hardly any ads on tv! my bro who was watching from gurgaon actually told me tht during half time there weren't any ads and the camera was just constantly pointed at the crowd in the stadium. that never happens in cricket. actually now a days there are so many ads in cricket that they start the ads even before the ball stops moving after the last delivery of every over and the ads end just before the batsman hits the ball. just pathetic. and the ads go on whole day without even 2 second gap. i really dont understand how can people have so much time to come and watch the game for whole day. anyway back to hockey the game was just awesome. chief minister of the state had come to give the trophy and so the security was tight from the very beginning of the match with ample number of policemen to control the huge crowd that had turned up. after the match the indian team kept signing autographs as we were leaving. they were the defending champions and they did very good job defending the cup and winning it again. hope there are more matches in chennai, i'll try to keep an eye on the proceedings of my new addtion to list of my favourite sports.
