CWG Updates

The Indian juggernaut rolls on... after a long overdue gold in athletics (discus throw) yesterday, the Indian 4x400 women's relay team did us proud with another gold. Also, Indian men's hockey team put up another brilliant performance, coming from 1-3 to level scores, and then beat England in the hockey semi finals, assuring us our first medal in CWG hockey. With 32 gold, and a total of 89, India is well placed to finish the games at overall 2nd (or maybe 3rd if England catch up), and over a 100 medals, as the contingent leader promised at the beginning of the games.

Meanwhile, in Bangalore,Tendulkar completed another brilliant 200, and after a mini collapse towards the end of the innings, India finished with a lead of 17. By the end of the day, Australia had lost 7 wickets, with a lead of less than 200. Tomorrow will be an exciting final day - if India can bowl out the Aussies quickly, we are set for a very nail-biting finish.
