Ganguly collisions

This is sourav ganguly in his early days. Poor ganguly is literally brought down, not once but twice by South African players. It may seem as a funny incident but what happened after this showed the true sportsman's spirit of the then south african skipper Late Hansie cronje. Because of the collisions sourav ganguly was run out, but Cronje withdrew the appeal and let ganguly play on. Hats off Hansie.

Tennis or circus

Now this tennis player has some talent. He deserves more spectators than there are.

Where is the umpire?

It was a cricket match between west indies and india at jamaica. Brian lara and Ramnaresh sarwan were batting. While attempting a quick single, there was a mix up and suresh raina, the fielder threw down the stumps at laras end and all the indian fielders turned to umpire Billy doctrove at square leg to appeal, only to find there was no billy doctrove at all. Doctrove was nowhere to be seen in the field. Seconds later Doctrove came ambling into the field unaware of what all the pandemonium was about. The other umpire Asad rauf, not knowing how to proceed, ruled that a dead ball. Luckily for Doctrove, replays confirmed that Lara had made his ground before the ball hit the stumps.

The pitcher hits bang on target!!!

lou vincent loses pants

This is very funny indeed. Lou vincent of newzealand who is a very good fielder lives up to his reputation. He does not even mind losing his pants in the process of saving a boundary.

The man who played golf on the moon




Playing golf on the moon is one of the last things you would expect any man to do, but Alan Bartlett Shepard, Jr, the fifth person to walk on the moon did it during the apollo 14 mission. He played golf with a Wilson six-iron head which was attached to a lunar scoop handle. Since he was wearing a very thick astronaut's suit he could swing the golf club with only with a single hand.




The picture shows shepard taking a swing with his club.
