India beat Pak in World Cup Hockey

So India beats Pakistan in a hockey encounter in the World Cup 2010. It was a dull match with four out of the five goals coming through penalty corners. Wonder has hockey changed its mane so much that it makes for dull viewing - how many goals are field goals and what is that ridiculous rule - that if the ball touches the feet of the opposing player in the D, then it is a penalty corner. Players are becoming specialits in only putting the balls into opp players' legs!!!

Did 1 hr 30.46 minutes today at BNP - sunday long run - full 12 kms of the route. Started off as cool and crisp weather but found going tough later on, thought about doing only 5 km uproute today, but the momentum carried on and finished full 12 kms. On the return leg, it was quite tough with the weather becoming quite warm as the early morning sun started filtering through the trees. Had to make two walking stops.
