Most of you might have seen the Bill Maher's tweet about Tebow and Denver Vs Bills game.
I thought he is so creative. Don't get me wrong i have nothing against Tebow or Jesus or Christianity (Of no affinity for Satan or Hitler).
In case you (outside US and don't follow football) don't know who Tebow is and what Tebowing is see the pic.
And here is Bill's tweet..

Match Savers is an Endangered Species
After watching the fourth day of Boxing day test i wonder whether there are any Match savers in modern day cricket. Not sure whether the advent of T20 has contributed to more tests not ending in a draw .It might be more because of lack of batsman who can grind it out and save test matches.
Now a days we either see teams chasing 300 plus runs in fourth innings or getting all out for less than 150.
We may never see any thing close to what Mike Atherton did in Johannesburg.
More so because in the current generation of batsmen there are not many who has the technique to bat like him, Dravid etc.
Any way all credit to AUS for a well deserved victory.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
I watched the dubbed version of the original "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and it's a great movie. Thoroughly enjoyed watching it.
Not sure how the new version is going to be.
But i recommend watching the original if you have NetFlix !!.
If you are interested in finding more about the Author Stieg Larsson & and the movie...

Boxing day test match & Dan Marino's Record etc
India's tour of Australia:
As India started touring Aus and I always liked the cricket matches in Aus (big grounds, pacy wickets) I am following the current series and as I am writing this it's second day and tendulkar and Dravid are playing and it looks like it is going to be a good game.
Dan Mario's record:
I watched the saints and falcons game briefly and as expected the saints dominated the game at home. And Drew brews surpassed 27 years Dan Marion's record. Congrats Drew (he came close to breaking it couple of years back). So he is well deserved all the credit.
How ever when you look back after a decade and our next generation might not even talk about Dan Marion's record. I think what Marino achieved with the defenses during that era is much harder to replicate. (I am very disgusted with the new rules in the past year or so which are so biased towards offense. We can no longer see the dominant defenses in play !!!)
At least i was privileged to watch some of the best defenses in the recent past ( I am huge Ravens fan and the games against pittsburg is what i enjoyed most apart from colts-pats games during the min 2000's).
Two handed backhand:
I started experimenting with two handed backhand and it's really a pleasant surprise. I am able to generate more power and has better control on placing the ball. I grew up idiolising Lendl, Sampras and Federer and I always tried to imitate their style.
and my one-handed back hand has always been my week area in my game and recently I thought why not switch to double handed backhand ?
When I tried earlier i never felt it was natural to me till I tried few weeks back with my ball machine.
May be all these i was trying to trying mimic the shots i saw some of my favorite players played with so much ease rather than finding what suits my game. Only time will tell whether that's true :-)

Head Radical Tour
There are three versions of Radical Tours
1) Bumblebee /Radical Tour 630/ Trisys 260 (USA) is the Original Radical Tour 1993-1995
2) Zebra Twin Tube 1995
3) Radical Twin Tube 1998
Agassi has used all the three models (at least the paint job on his racquets says so :-))
Bumblebee:
Note: it comes with black grommets/bumper guard. the white grommets shown in some of the above images are the grommets from Youtek Radical.
Now here is the picture of Agassi using the racquet with same paint job.
Also it's same as today's Head PT57A.
