Exactly one year ago today, Tiger Woods did something he had never done before - lose a Grand Slam tournament after taking a lead into the final round. That too to an unknown player named YE Yang. On that day, right after he lost, if you had told someone that losing to Yang would probably be the high point of Tiger's life in the next 365 days they would have laughed at you. But incredibly, that's what happened. Whodathunkit?!
One month ago, if you had told someone that the #1 ranked Test team in the world would be bowled out for 88 in an ODI and that the #1 ranked ODI team would be bowled out for 88 in a Test match, they would have laughed at you. But incredibly, that's what happened. Whodathunkit?
If two weeks ago, you would have told someone that Virender Sehwag would be batting on 99 and facing an off-spinner (not named Murali) in his rookie year on two separate occasions and would fail to get 100 both times, they would have laughed at you. But incredibly, that's what happened. Whodathunkit?
Truth is, often times, stranger than fiction.

4 days ago, If someone had told you that one "Brit" will beat both Nadal and Roger in the same week, I guess you would have laughed....
...and I never ever thought that Kumar Sangakkara was capable of such petty gamesmanship as to deliberately deny Sehwag a century. But he is and has proven so beyond doubt; he can deny it all he wants to now but the truth is out there and visibly so.
AV, I would have laughed at that proposition a year ago Lately, not so much considering how Raja has been playing.
BD/DSC, watching it happen I did not get any sense that Sangakkara plotted that. When the no-ball game, it was a surprise as there was no indication or inclination that it may be coming. Unless some new video evidence has come up to the contrary, I am inclined to not pin it on Sangakkara.
