BVHK's world-view

The wait...

I know anyone who followed news over the weekend knew that this post knew that it was coming. This was a rollicking weekend. Some of the happenings:

Liverpool beat Chelsea (the word stunned was used in some news reports) in the FA Cup Semi final. Venue - Old Trafford :) At the end of a "hugely successful" year for Chelsea, Man. United end up with one Cup in their cabinet (Carling Cup) and Chelsea still has some work to do to win the one silverware that they were "running away" with.

Rafael Nadal beat Roger Federer in the finals of the Monte Carlo Masters. Didn't watch it.

Chelsea did put up a magnificent performance - in line with the expensive line-up they have - to beat the Hammers 4-1.

Manchester United played like the champion team they are - to beat Arsenal, yet again.

Aussies on TV

If you have read Out of My Comfort Zone, you would have known about the efforts of Steve Waugh in making the Australian team 'open up' during their tours to the sub-continent as he thought that the prime reason for the Aussies/Englishmen getting afflicted with injuries and ailments in the sub-continent was their attitude where they would remain cooped up in their hotel rooms and would resort to games like who would grow the longest moustache to keep themselves occupied during the
