Another 3 hours left for this season's first F1 GP to commence @ Bahrain and I am expecting Ferrari to finish the race with 1 & 2. Let's see how Schumi blasts off & how he handles the young guns who are right behind him on the second row.
Update: Alonso beat Schumi to win the race. Schumi came in second & it was Raikkonen's performance that was impressive; he had a terrible race from day one, due to the technical problems, he had to start from position 22 with a new engine and he managed to overcome 19 cars to finsih on podium @ 3rd.
Another 7 hours to go for the EPL's Super Sunday fixture between Arsenal and Liverpool. My bet is on Arsenal beating Liverpool with 2 goals to 1.
Update: The match ended the same way I had predicted, Arsenal (2)-(1) Liverpool;).
And finally here is the update on 2nd Test Cricket between India and England, Mohali: Day 3, @ Tea, India 1st Innings - 338/10, there by giving India the lead of 38 runs over England.
Update: India won the 2nd Test against England comfortably with 9 wickets in hand. Kumble won the man-of-the-match, he became the first Indian bowler to ever cross 500 wickets mark & fourth in the history of Test Cricket.
