No one bloody knows!

That's the beauty of sport, innit? For all the punditry, all the analysis, all the damn experience and been-there-done-that of the experts and ex-players and commentators, beyond a point, in competitive sport (where two teams/individuals have reasonably evenly matched skill and ability), anything can happen. OF course, in this time and age, another caveat we need to add is the absence of dirty money and fixers!

That is precisely what makes us all so attracted to sport - an underdog can win (India v WI in 1983), a superstar can just as easily fail (Augusta this year - no one expected anyone else but Tiger to win on the last day), strange results do happen (India in Aus in 2003-4, India V Bdesh in WC 2007) - that is why for me sport is the supreme entertainment form, not films, not music, nothing.

You don’t know, I don’t know and, more to the point, experts don’t know either.
No one can ever truly be certain about the immeasurable and indefinable stuff
inside. John McEnroe had a flawed technique and a flawed temperament, but he
wasn’t going to let things like that hold him back. The truth is not in our
backhands, but in our minds.

Read Simon Barnes on precisely this subject. Aah, looking forward to Indianapolis and the US Open this weekend. No one can say for sure who is going to win. I am as good at predicting stuff as the experts in the respective sport.

I feel proud and powerful. I feel on par with everyone else. Cool!
