Inspiration Part II

3 weeks into the new year.... the tennis season has started, and a teenager is stealing the attention....

Bernard Tomic is now inside the top 40, and after a season of maturity in 2011, he is providing a lot of hope for aussie men's tennis in 2012....

he has entered the aussie open on good form... winning the kooyong classic after taking down some big name players.... but it was his first round match today that was so inspiring...

down 2 sets to 0, a young teenager like tomic could have easily folded under the pressure and expectation of the local crowd... but instead, he somehow managed to cruise thru the final 3 sets and seal an amazing 5-set win against fernando verdasco... the 22nd seed, and a former semi-finalist at melbourne....

i'd love to see the tomic juggernaut roll on~~

Inspiration to start the New Year~!!!

to start the New Year, a story of inspiration....

while many were waiting to see tendulkar score his 100th international century... we saw something more inspiring....

Ricky Ponting.... with the pressure of selectors trying to axe him from the team... coming off back to back 60+ scores in the Boxing Day test, he has built on that to score his first 100 in two years...

it could have been tragic, being run out on 99, but luckily zaheer khan missed the stumps, and he slid in for his 100....

but that wasnt even the main story of the day.... Michael Clarke... career high... and his first ever double century...!!!

Currently on Day 3.... Michael Hussey... also under pressure just scored his 100.... and captain clarke is nearing 300...

i was a critic of clarke.... but as long as ponting isnt dropped while he's still performing... and if the captaincy is making clarke a better player.... the future is bright for australian cricket....
