Genial grey-haired Rolly from Tennessee is whooping every time he reels in a rainbow trout - which is often. His lanky stepbrother Perry from Texas is an experienced hunter and fisherman but new to fly-fishing. "Keep at it Perry," Rolly hollers as Perry finally has one on the line.
We're at Denetiah Lake in the Muskwa-Kechika protected area in northeastern B.C. It's testament to the vastness of B.C. that this wilderness area - the size of Ireland - is virtually unknown to most people in the province.
The Alaska Highway hugs the northern border of the area, but otherwise, as far as roads go, that's about it. There aren't even walking trails.
We've been flown into the lake on a Single Otter float plane piloted by Swiss immigrant Urs Schildknecht, who, with his wife Marianne, owns and runs the Northern Rockies Lodge on Muncho Lake, the area's most upscale accommodation.
Rolly, Perry and their group of friends will be flown to a different lake each day for a week, to catch a different type of fish: walleye, northern pike, arctic grayling, lake trout.
Today Urs cooks up some fresh-caught trout for lunch. The rest of the fish, up to 45 per man, have been caught and released. By the end of the day the guys are tired and happy, joshing each other about the size of the catch. On the 45-minute flight back to the lodge we see the end of the Rocky Mountain range, the Rocky Mountain Trench and the beginning of the Mackenzie range.
The glacier-topped mountains are so close it feels like we could reach out and touch them.
When we Lower Mainlanders think of going north, we think of Prince George, or maybe Prince Rupert; yet B.C. is so enormous that Prince George is actually slightly south of the centre. Along B.C.'s northern border, from Fort Nelson in the east to Atlin in the west, the storied Alaska Highway winds its way in and out between B.C. and Yukon, through wilderness rich with wildlife, past two-pump gas stations, on a highway where sometimes it's possible to drive many kilometres without seeing another vehicle.
From our base at the comfortable Northern Rockies Lodge on Muncho Lake we explored in two directions: east to Fort Nelson and west to Liard Hot Springs. Fort Nelson, established in 1805 as a fur-trading post, is now a boom town benefiting from natural gas exploration and production. The Fort Nelson Heritage Museum has indoor and outdoor displays of everything from wildlife to artifacts of the fur trade to mementoes from the building of the Alaska Highway.
After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, the U.S. government decided that an inland route to Alaska was vital and decided to build the Alaska Highway.
In a feat of engineering that has been compared to the building of the Panama Canal, the original 2,240-kilometre-long road from Dawson Creek to Delta Junction, Alaska, was finished in just nine months by U.S. army engineers and private contractors. Heading back toward Muncho Lake and the Northern Rockies Lodge, we go through Stone Mountain Provincial Park with its campgrounds, trails and lookouts. Pink lupine and rosy alpine paintbrush bloom at the side of the highway.
Look carefully for the little blue signs that indicate a trail. The name of the trail and information about it will be on a large sign a few metres up, not visible from the road.
I'd love to tell you about the hikes there and the lovely views from Summit Lake, the highest point on the Alaska Highway, but the truth is during that drive it was rainy and overcast with a stiff wind blowing. So the next stop, at the Toad River Lodge, with its warm, bustling, noisy diner/gift shop/gas bar/motel filled with both locals and tourists was especially welcome. I giggled at the cheeky toad-themed T-shirts with slogans like "toad-al chaos," "toad-ally wasted" and something about "horny" that I won't repeat.
Back on the highway we begin to see the wildlife the area is famous for: a group of stone sheep ewes with their lambs, shedding their winter coats. Later there'll be more - a mother moose with her calf, a black bear, and a young grizzly browsing by the side of the highway. Because of the richness of the mammal and bird life, the Northern Rockies are sometimes called the Serengeti of the North.
Farther west, we see a unique sight in B.C.: wood bison ambling along the highway. The bison have been reintroduced into their former habitat and are successfully re-establishing themselves in the area. However, cars and bison are a dangerous mix. No one wants to hit a 2,000-pound bison - but it happens. "Three of them got hit right down there," said a woman in a diner where we stopped for coffee. Fortunately, the evidence of the crashes was gone.
Just west of Muncho Lake is Liard River Hot Springs, a series of warm and hot pools in a pristine setting, enjoyed by visitors from all over the world.
The hot springs create a microclimate which not only people enjoy year-round. More than a hundred types of birds and 28 mammals have been observed there. Moose, especially, love the aquatic vegetation.
I was a little disappointed by the hot springs - because they were too nice.
Seeing as it's the middle of nowhere, I pictured an isolated location with slippery rocks descending to the pools, with few people, and bathing suits optional.
In fact, there were lovely new changing rooms, a deck overlooking the water and stairs with banisters going down to each pool. And yes, bathing suits are required. A 700-metre boardwalk leads from the parking lot to the pools.
After a soak, it was back to the lodge for an excellent schnitzel dinner, and a good sleep in preparation for the 717-km drive west the next day to Atlin.
The tiny town of Atlin, population 300 to 500, depending on who you talk to, is the northwestern-most village in B.C.
The town has a fascinating history. Gold was found there, and during the Gold Rush of 1899, the population rose to 10,000; many buildings from that era are still in use. From 1917 through the mid-1930s the White Pass Railway sold it as an exotic holiday destination comparable to Europe. Holidayers would take a steamer up the coast to Skagway, Alaska, then take a complicated route over two lakes and two railways before arriving in Atlin, where they were met by a fleet of MacLaughlin Buick convertibles to take them around. Because of its dramatic site on a lake surrounded by mountains, promoters called it the Switzerland of the North.
Today there is still some gold mining and the lake is filled with fish and the forests with game, attracting hunters and fishermen and those simply seeking a wilderness experience. A 95-km-long road connects Atlin with the Alaska Highway and Whitehorse is just a 2½-hour drive away - close by northern standards.
On the second weekend of each July, the population swells to 2,500 for the Atlin Arts and Music Festival. Festival-goers pitch tents, park campers and fill up every last speck of
accommodation. Local artists display their work at the former courthouse, St. Martin's church members set up a block-long thrift shop and performers, many northerners themselves, circulate among three stages. Artists host workshops for both children and adults.
Like almost everything else in this unincorporated village, including the fire department, it's run by volunteers.
"I can't think of an organization that doesn't depend on volunteers," said our host Bobbie Whelan. "There's not enough money and not enough people to hire if you could." Thirtyfive years ago Bobbie, originally from the Maritimes, was living in Vancouver, but found it too congested. She was planning to return home when she heard from a friend about Atlin. She hitchhiked up to take a look and never left. "It's like a very big family," she said.
At the festival, there were babies, babies and more babies. Babies in Snugglies, babies in backpacks, babies on shoulders, babies being rocked, babies being fed. After a few years of problems with rowdies, this time the 11-year-old festival emphasized family events, and it's been a success. There were children's stages and workshops, but most popular seemed to be the big sandpile in the middle of the grounds, a refreshingly old-fashioned kids' activity.
Well-known performers included Gord Downie and the Sadies, David Francey, Danny Michel and Smithers' own Alex Cuba.
My favourite memory is of seeing the wonderful duo of Jason and Pharis Romero, from Horsefly in the intimate setting of the restored Gold-Rush era Globe Theatre, a perfect place to enjoy the Romeros' old-time banjo, sweet harmonies and moving traditional and original songs.
Right after the performance they were handed - what else? - their smiling baby, who they popped into a stroller and wheeled away.

The gorgeous weather arrived just in time. The past couple of weeks have been a reminder of what exactly spring holds for my family. Like many of you, it's hours upon hours spent at the baseball field.
The gorgeous weather arrived just in time. The past couple of weeks have been a reminder of what exactly spring holds for my family. Like many of you, it's hours upon hours spent at the baseball field.
I am not complaining; baseball is a great way to get the kids outdoors and get me out to see people I haven't seen since last spring. It does, however, create a scheduling problem with feeding the family.
Joe coaches Alec's team and assistant coaches Kyle's team. It is confusing enough trying to just figure out who is supposed to be where when and who is taking them, never mind trying to add a balanced meal into the equation.
I know I am not alone; I have heard other parents lament as well. My answer is this: Don't worry. The kids are happy eating mac and cheese anyway, and if you are lucky enough to have vegetable eaters, raw carrots are a perfect accompaniment.
Cereal or other breakfast food, like scrambled eggs and toast, are a quick dinner on the nights you just don't have time for anything else. If all else fails, the snack shack at the field has hot dogs and snacks. Just relax, sit in the bleachers and enjoy watching your healthy children steal bases and catch fly balls. Worry about the balanced meals on the nights they don't have games or practice.
Along with baseball season, spring reminds us of what is right around the corner – shorts and bathing suit weather.
For some of us, this time of year has a similar feeling as the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas – not enough time to get ready. You think there is plenty of time to start eating right and really get into shape and then, boom, it is here and you haven't done anything.
I am feeling extra pressure this year since I have stopped my usual workouts with weights because of a shoulder injury. I have been trying to get to the gym and at least do cardio, but I feel the difference.
I must face the facts: I have to cut back on eating if I want to be seen at the pool this summer.
I have stocked the fridge with low fat yogurt and fruit and made a batch of healthy granola. Alec and I have been making yogurt parfaits, layering vanilla yogurt with bananas, strawberries and granola. Alec has been eating this for breakfast, and I have it for lunch.
I am not much of a breakfast person. I am happy with my coffee, but since it is supposed to be healthier, I have been trying to eat breakfast. I have been eating a high fiber cereal that is full of flax seeds and almonds. It actually tastes pretty good, but if you eat something with 12 grams of fiber, be prepared for the consequences.
All I can say is it better be good for my health, because if I find out in a couple of years that the experts were wrong about fiber being good for you, I will not be happy to have gone through this for nothing.
2 cups oatmeal1 cup wheat germ 1/3 cup powdered milk 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon 1/4 cup honey 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup orange juice 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1/2 cup nuts (pecans, walnuts or almonds) 1/4 cup raisins 1/4 cup chopped dates
Mix together all ingredients except for fruit. Spread on a baking sheet with sides and bake at 225 degrees stirring every 15 minutes for about 45 minutes until slightly browned. Remove from oven and mix in fruit and let cool on baking sheet. Store in an airtight container.

NEW YORK (AP) — Syfy says its sequel to the horror spoof "Sharknado" snapped up 3.9 million viewers Wednesday night.
The film, officially titled "Sharknado 2: The Second One," nearly tripled the 1.37 million viewers who saw last summer's premiere of the original "Sharknado" film.
Meanwhile, Nielsen estimates that 5.5 million people saw one or more of the 581,000 tweets posted during the airing. At one point, the film held all top 10 trending topics in the United States. By comparison, 318,000 tweets about the first "Sharknado" film were posted when it premiered last July.
In campy fashion, "Sharknado 2" moved the action from Los Angeles to New York City, which was besieged by its own fearsome storm of rain and falling sharks.
Syfy said the film will air again Saturday and Sunday.

It is hard to pinpoint what exactly it was about Liriano's 2011 season that went so haywire.
Was it that he was under-conditioned, pitching through an injury, struggling with his mechanics, lost his confidence, lost his mind, lost his dog, all of the above, none of the above?
Regardless of why, there are two critical factors that go hand-in-hand which Liriano needs to improve on from his poor 2011 campaign:
(1) Command of his fastball and (2) Getting ahead of hitters.
In 2011, Liriano demonstrated some of the worst command of the heater than almost every starter. Of all qualified pitchers (those who had thrown a minimum of 1,000 fastballs), Liriano's 53% strike rate was the lowest. What's more is that when he started his opponents off with the fastball -- which he did a little over half of all match-ups -- he managed to throw it for strike just 44% of the time, also the lowest in baseball. Meanwhile, in 2010, the left-hander was much closer to the league average of 64% by throwing his fastball for a strike 63% of the time (61% on the first pitch).
Intertwined with the command of his fastball is his ability to get ahead of hitters. Two seasons ago, Liriano threw strike one 61% of the time, putting his opponents at a quick disadvantage perhaps enticing them to swing at more out-of-zone offerings (34% out-of-swing rate in 2010, highest of his career) and more swings in general (a 46.5% swing rate). In 2010, however, Liriano wandered aimlessly. In just 49% of his match-ups was he able to achieve strike one – the worst rate in baseball. And it wasn't just the first pitch last year, either. In 79% of his at-bats he was able to get a strike in one of the first two pitches (the worst mark in baseball and well below the 85% league average).
If Liriano makes significant strides in these two areas in 2012, considering his potent slider and improving change, there's no reason not to think that he can't rebound to his 2010 self.
Which brings us to his outing on Wednesday night.
Shortly before Christmas, GM Terry Ryan said that Liriano was not going to throw in the winter leagues but rather he would pitch at the Twins' Dominican Academy and build his arm strength there. This was largely deflating to those who had witnessed how poorly he came into spring camp a year ago after skipping winter ball. However, midday yesterday the Liga de Beisbol website announced that Liriano would be starting for the Leones del Escogido.
Now, considering it was his first outing against live hitters since September 24, the proper amount of slack needs to be cut. Keep in mind there is plenty of time until April 1. Still, you have to watch for signs of improvement, especially in the aforementioned areas of (1) and (2). Against a C-list lineup (with Hiram Bocachica, who has been playing the Mexican Leagues the previous two seasons, batting third), Liriano's fastball looked erratic and he struggled to locate the catcher's target. In similar fashion to 2011, he mixed in his two-seamed fastball to right-handed opponents which ran up-and-away. Also like last season, of the eight batters he faced, he fell behind all but two. In all, one and two-thirds innings of work and 37 pitches required.
To reiterate, Liriano has plenty of time left to re-establish the command of his fastball and work at striking first against opponents. I'm not going to chastise him for one outing, however, if you were looking for early signs of progress in his first start in the winter leagues, you didn't get it.

I sometimes wonder whether my grandmother, Frances Mathews, should have ever been behind the wheel. My grandfather sometimes wondered the same thing, aloud. She's so clumsy her nickname was, and is, Grandma Ooops.
But to her credit, she never did any serious damage to anyone on the roads, and as she got older, she limited her driving, first to local stops, then to daytime. Finally, several years ago, before her 90th birthday, she gave up driving all together. She worried she would hurt other people.
This is the common, responsible pattern of many senior citizens. Most senior citizens, no doubt.
U.S. & World
But not everyone, tragically.
And so the recent news -- that a 100-year-old man backed his car into a group of children in South LA, sending 14 people to the hospital -- was unsurprising. And worse yet, preventable.
The man's daughter told reporters that she'd been trying to get him to stop driving for some time.
But, as NBC LA reported, she couldn't. And the state doesn't do much checking on older drivers. Beginning at age 70, drivers only have to be reviewed every five years, and even then they only take a written test and a vision test. There is no requirement of a driving test.
Tom Hayden, as a member of the legislature in the 1990s, suggested requiring driving tests.
But that legislation wss beaten back by the AARP and the Automobile Club of Southern California, which argue that older drivers are relatively safe as a class, particularly as compared to very young drivers.
That's a fine argument, with data to support it.
But it seems like common sense that for people as old as my grandmother -- she's 95 and doing well, and still not driving -- driving tests should be required. And that five years between such tests is not enough. Annual tests would be reasonable, given how quickly judgment and skill can deteriorate.
And if that's too much trouble for older drivers, then more may give up their cars. Which wouldn't be a tragedy. It might even prevent one.

Who's there?
HIPAA who?
I can't tell you that.
Thank you, Webhill!
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
Ouch, I laughed then sighed cause it's just to close to the truth
Oh God, I work in customer service for a major health insurer. I am going to bother all my coworkers with this tomorrow.
I'm stupid, I don't get it. :-\
You can bet that I will make sure that makes the rounds in my hospital today! Love it!
That is also going to circulate at my law firm (we still run into issues with HIPPA in worker's comp, despite how many decades to work out the kinks?).
I so miss the days we could pin up select names of frequent flyers, and share the information across town!
Laura - you are lucky you don't :)
One of my first encounters with HIPAA was when I was volunteering at the hospital during high school . . . the retired lawyer who was training me asked me at the end of my first day if I had any questions, and I asked him what HIPAA stood for. He didn't know :)
I'm the administrator of my department. I sent this to a bunch of people. One of the frzzled ones just saw "HIPAA" and came in and asked me what had happened with HIPAA - when I told her she said that since I often make gentle jokes in my announcements to the department (to get their attention) that she thought it was a serious warning.
Our Nigerian doctor called me up completely freaked out. He's never heard of knock-knock jokes.

(Phoenix, Ariz. – January 26, 2005) Regarding the stun gun legislation proposed today by Arizona House Speaker Jim Weiers, Attorney General Terry Goddard had this comment:
"My office is working on two issues in the Arizona State criminal code affecting stun guns.
"First, I want to provide more legal protection to law enforcement officers by allowing them to use deadly force, if necessary, to defend themselves if threatened with a Taseror other stun gun.
"Second, I want to make sure that a person who uses a stun gun in the commission of a serious crime such as a rape, robbery or carjacking is appropriately punished. Under current law, a criminal might argue that a stun gun is a non-deadly, non-dangerous weapon, and if the court were to agree, the criminal would receive a lesser sentence. I don't want any criminal using a stun gun to be able to slip through that legal loophole."

been ill for a day or two, and find that Dwyer has gone ahead and challenged Clapo, fine by me, and seeing as Mike and Dave haven't commented on it, they can't have many complaints either. So Clapo slots into Group C, and Adam takes the last repechage spot.
Just about to check on the status of the other matches, will be back shortly...Trev

Come on boys! 60% is a bit dismal for Thursday night! If you speak to any of the malingerers on MSN or anything, tell them to pull their fingers out, or I'm going to have to start adjudicating defaults tomorrow.
BTW, I have pretty patchy internet access over the weekends, so if someone wants to be the man around the grounds on Sunday, and I'll provide a results check, along with league standings and next weeks fixtures, when I'm back in the office on Monday.
Later, Trev

Looking much better this morning, thank you. Eight out of ten games in place, and at least there's challenges made in the two outstanding fixtures. I'm pretty confident that Jaffna Jets and Got Spin will go ahead, as it looks as though Hing's been logged in most days this week. I'm a little more concerned about Lancashire V Victoria Panthers, as Dave hasn't been logged in since 7th, though I guess he might show up for today's OD games, so who knows?
Good work guys, later, Trev

Earlier this year, civil rights advocates celebrated when several New England states granted marriage rights to gay couples.
But opponents are waging a campaign to eliminate the right to marry in Maine, and to eliminate rights like hospital visitation and death benefits for gay firefighters in Washington. These two battles could prove instrumental in California's upcoming battle to repeal Prop 8.
The Maine campaign has shown care in learning from the victories and mistakes of the Prop 8 campaign. This week, they released two television ads: one features a military man talking about equality for his daughter; the other highlights the normalcy of a family with two moms. The second ad is a notable departure from the Prop 8 strategy, which rendered gay couples almost entirely invisible in TV ads. But the ads also borrow from a strategy that won support from Californians: these ads feature honest testimony from locals. In contrast, the anti-marriage campaign was recently caught paying actors to pose as concerned citizens.
U.S. & World
It's unclear when the marriage ban will be back on California's ballot. Equality California, one of the largest organizations for gay equality in California, recently laid out a three-year plan that would have us voting in 2012. But a grassroots campaign is organizing quickly and efficiently for a vote in 2010.
But no matter what year Californians vote again on each others' marriages, the results of upcoming elections in other states will exert a heavy influence.

Hmmm..I notice Ganguly ended up using 8 bowlers and not one of them was himself. For a captain who can bowl, he was quite timid w.r.t. putting himself up as a 'sacrificial lamb'...

Sreesanth said, "Next ball he was beaten and I said, 'is this the King Charles Lara? Who is this impostor, moving around nervously? I should have kept my mouth shut for the next ball - mind you, it was a length ball - Lara just pulled it over the church beyond the boundary! He is a true legend."
For me, if an Indian batsman doesn't have a match winning knock then Ricky Ponting gets my vote as the best innings in the World Cup, because im sure it will be one of the best of all time anyway.
Well McGrath gets Tendulkar, this is all over...Tendulkar needed to bat the whole innings.
if Brett Lee fires in a yorker here, I think Sehwag is going to lose his off-stump, huge movement & pace.
Infact I think Shane Bond got Sehwag a couple of times early by bowling yorker length with pace when India were here in NZ.
Ganguly almost had a brainmelt against McGrath.

Well at least Ganguly is playing some shots here, its better than just letting Australia completely run them over.
Shewag just hit McGrath for six over point.
Congrats to the Australian team for winning their third world cup... Cheers !!
Absolute amateurish performance from the Indian bowlers specially Srinath and Zaheer which gave the Aussies the room to build the winning platform.It was hard to imagine that this was the bowling attack which was the most potent in the tournament after the Aussies.I thought Srinath was brain dead, bowling those full tosses at the death and also Zaheer spraying all over.Nehra maintained a good line and length but it was always gonna be hard after the Aussie openers had hit the opening bowlers with such abandon and the field had to be made a little defensive.
India batted positively and scored quickly but after Sehwag's run-out it was all over.Sachin's failure was a disappointment but the pressure on his shoulders was huge and he had to hit out in those initial overs and there was not other way out.
Ganguly's decision to bowl first is going to come under some scrutiny, but I felt that he took the right decision given the early juice in the wicket and with a seam attack that had performed creditably in the tournament thus far, he could bank on them to deliver some early wickets but it was not to be as the opening bowlers just were too nervous for the occasion and failed to rise up and perform.
Flames are welcome, but beware of the *Backdraft *
Well....that's that.....guess it was a nice dream while it lasted....
Hats off to the Aussies and Ponting! They played like champions and won like champions. The Indian bowling which had propped up the team and carried them through most of the tournament was in total disarray as the Aussie top order ripped into them and tore them apart. The match was over as a contest maybe in the first 5 overs itself. Chasing 360 against this attack is next to impossible in the best of circumstances. I don't blame the batting for disintegrating the way they did.
The Indians were clearly the second best team in the tournament and lost to one of the greatest teams of all time. No shame in that. That they made the final, coming into the tourney after the demoralising NZ tour is a remarkable achievement and should be recognised as such. I hope stupid and malicious "fans" don't start the effigy burning and stone throwing all over again back in India.
Like Botham (?) said, "It wasn't a bad decision to bowl first. The bowlers just let him down."
And I tend to agree. Although, I do think India could have done better batting first (like they always do), I also think it was a rather unimpressive bowling show from the Indians, so first or second, there's no excuse for that kind of bowling except unprecedented amounts of pressure and some excellent batting.
So there, I do wish they had batted first, but oh well...It's over...
Again the Australians show their class. I wonder while I watch them play......they play not one but two levels above their oppositions. Here we are, thinking about the final of the World Cup. Pressure match, huge game, something that every team and Australia especially have been building upto, we expect to see some horn locking cricket. Yet every player in the Aussie outfit are so unfazed of all of it. Playing dismissive cricket, I haven't seen a team dominate and disregard the oppoistion so emphatically on a consistent run. I mean, really if you consider this, the World CUp is supposed to be a challenging tournament, you saw the Aussies trudge over every one. The law of averages looks like a fallacy if you happened to watch this tournament.
Ponting played the best I have seen him play. Untiring and relentless, the shots he played were unbelievable. Gilchrist and Hayden not to beundermned nor the superb knock Martyn played. All top four scored 359. In a world cup final :O
Anyway, I think Zaheer and Srinath were :rolleyes: well, dustbin stuff. Sure the top order was on fire but I could have helped myself better than they did. Who advised them to pitch the ball in the wrong half of the pitch ? Zaheer can be forgiven, the moment would have gotten the better of him, but THATS exactly what Srinath is there for, calm nerves and show the way. I think Ganguly missed a trick by giving the first over to Zaheer, but if Srinath was going to bowl the way he did, dont care anyway.
I didn't honestly believe that India were going to hunt down this total, with Tendulkar going on ball 5, they were out of contention to challenge it. Sehwag's effort was comendable though, giving up is not the call of the day.
With the Aussies, its not a matter of conquering, its a matter of challenging them.....yet ! Welldone Australia and welldone RIcky Ponting. To the team thats perhaps better than the Windies of the 70's ?!!
Once the game is over, the king and the pawn go back in the same box
You got the first part spot on.Originally posted by Eclipse
My gut tells me Ponting will make a big score and set Australia up for victory but I also have a feeling India are going to fight like hell to reach the total set and that there are going to be some very tense and vital match situations and prehaps some big decisions to be given or not given by the umpire.
Does anyone else remember Shaun Pollock criticising the pitch for the final before the WC started after SA played Pak there?
I seem to remember it wouldn't produce good cricket and would be a low scoring game?

Beware the evils of Kit-Kats - they're immoral apparently.
A brilliant win to the Aussies. I couldn't believe the onslaught from Ponting at the end. He had a little bit of luck along the way but punished some pretty awful bowling at the end.
Ganguly again showed that he had no honour by appealing for that catch off Gilchrist where the ball not only missed the bat by a fair margin but clearly bounced before he caught it. It only confirmed my opinion of him. His captaincy was also quite flawed. Not bring ing Zaheer back on earlier was a mistake as was not bowling the Turbanator out at the end. Singh had bowled well early and just because he had one expensive over he never bowled again. Mongia also bowled well and could have bowled the full 10. Nehra only enhanced his reputation with a good performance. He was expensive late but wasn't everyone.
However he did make the right decision to bowl first. The Aussies would have skittled them quickly on a pitch that seamed around a lot. The Indian bowlers did not take advantage of such wonderful conditions for bowling. Gilchrist played a great knock early to make the Indians more nervous about being in the final.
Tendulkar mat have gotten out early but he had no choice. The Indians can take heart in that they did not throw in the towel. I was expecting them to get rolled once Tendulkar was out. Sehwag played his best innings in the tournament but could not beat an accurate throw from Lehmann.
I guess the Aussies strength was that they played more as a team than any other side. Everyone made a contibution along the way. Just think of key contributions from Symonds, Bichel, Bevan, McGrath, Lee, Ponting and Martyn in tough matches. Only Hayden and Hogg can say that they didn't have a good tournament as individuals. This is another good reason why no Australians figured in the man of the tournament awards. India relied on Tendulkar too much though their bowlers did the job for them during the tournament.
All in all a great victory though the Indians shouldn't get too down as they were clearly the second best side in the comp but the Aussies are ahead of them by a country mile.
I too was quite disappointed with Ganguly's appeal for that catch. If there was one person who knew exactly what went on, it was Ganguly, and good for Bucknor for not giving in.
But I really find it no less honorable than sledging or excessive appealing...the guy was obviously desperate.
