Sultans Of Swing

I was at the inaugaral match of the PHL at the Gachibowli stadium yesterday. Now, dont tell me you dont know what that is! Okay, for the uninitiated, PHL is the Premier Hockey League. There are different teams with very interesting names. Some of them are Delhi Dazzlers(okay suuuure!), Bangalore HiFliers(Oh please!), Chennai Veerans(Ahaan??!!??), Sher-E-Jalandhar(Ummmm whatever!) and the Hyderabad Sultans(wow! :))

Obviously we won, 1-0. The Lions were tamed. Hockey's really exciting! It is much better than football and much quicker than cricket. Oh and we have Dilip Tirkey and that Pakistani dude Sohail Abbas(who couldn't play yesterday due to some injury). The players are actually quite cute. Gagan Ajit Singh was cool. Sameer Dad scored the matchwinning goal and how we cheered him on! We were 9 of us, all wearing blue. Yeah, the Sultans are our new Men In Blue!(atleast till Feb when Dravid and gang take on the Pakis). Anyway my final verdict: Hockey rules!
