Paes and Bhupathi spat

This is what started it. This is what Paes said and this is how Bhupathi retorted. I feel sad that our greatest modern sporting heroes had to end their partnership on such an ugly,distasteful note. If there were Doordarshan Sports Personality of the decade - surely these two would get it. Its one thing to be top of the world in Cricket played at the highest level by approximately 200 men and another to be the best in tennis against about 1500 or more players!!

Being in the UK only snooker,cricket and the premiership are covered by the media or shown on TV, which of course just means that I have missed the entire Asian games this year. Not that it means anything, with India only winning 10 golds and finishing after Iran and Kazakhstan. Also,hockey was a disaster and the only saving grace was tennis and shooting. Of course, the IOA messed up again and their faux pas with Jaspal Rana has to be the funniest cock up in the history of Indian sport.
