Mixed Feelings

Too many things are happening in life nowadays. One day you suddenly get up and find the heaven's opening and the downpour starts. It has been like a boon as the rains were anticipated since a long time now. Makes me delighted with all the greenary around and the atmosphere around you suddenly dazzles up.

Today I was dazed to read about Flintoff’s retirement from test cricket in the tabloid. Now here we go many people would argue about Freddie, as to if he really was a test cricketer. But on a serious note, that really does not matter to me much, as I have grown up watching him play and too me he was an excellent sportsman. He really was a good all-rounder and his quick boisterous bowling and destructive batting abilities, made him a formidable opponent. If I go down my memory lane, I can still remember his latest test century which he got against Australia in 2005. It was the first innings and he went on to score a 102 runs, thrashing the aussie’s all across the park. Finally England won the match and they took a lead of 2-1 in the 4th test. It feels sad to hear about his retirement, but the good news is he will continue to entertain us in one-days and may be T20's.

Things are not as bad as they feel, the nice things are the markets have bounced back, yippee!!!
