Great Sports News!
on Sunday, Jarno Trulli (Renault) won the Monaco Grand Prix. Thank God and Montoya! I am an avowed Ferrari and Schumi fan, but to win the first five races of the season, without even the faintest of challenge was turning the season into a bore.
Fortunately, Trulli produced a flawless performance to take Pole and edge BAR's Jenson Button to take the checquered flag.
I write in the manner of a sports correspondent for various reasons. One, in the likely possibility that in the future some troubled graduate student might decide to use my records as primary material(historical terms learnt by association with Historians). Also, of course, I have hopes and ambitions of being exactly that, a sports writer, when I take time away from saving the lives of 3 million children dying of malaria by producing a vaccine.
Will anyone truly pose a threat to Ferrari and Schumi this season? I doubt it. Until someone (Trulli, Alonso, Button) perform consistently and improve their cars to get just that little bit of power, Schumi will be hard to beat. Schumi meanwhile, seems to have lost that killer instinct. I can't remember the last time he overtook someone, or had a tremendous start. He is beatable and it might just be his teammate who could do it!!
Will the youngsters step up to the challenge? Onto Nurburgring...
Speaking of youngsters, Naseer Hussain seems to be defying age and all his critics to be playing the best cricket of his career. He took a spectacularly athletic catch on saturday, and followed it up with an unbeaten hundred to steer England home in their comprehensive test Victory against the Kiwis at Lords.
Antara, who has American Revolution exam tomorrow, was glued to the television, while revising Thomas Dickinson( with whom I am familiar enough to address him as "Dicky Boy") et al.
England players seem to reach their peak at the ripe old age of 36, remember Alec Stewart, Graham Gooch... either they have some genetic mutations in their telomeres which delays ageing, or is it just that they never have anyone debuting before the age of 27?
Ok, now that I have finished listening to the answer on backcountry policy, I shall depart to let the finalist get some shut-eye before the big day tomorrow.
