Montiero wins the toss

and the chance to run the new Jordan machine at the Italian grand prix. For those wondering what this is about, there is only one new Jordan available for the Italian Grand Prix and the guy to run it was to be chosen by the toss of a coin ... and Montiero wins it ... so Karthikeyan will run the same Jordan he has been running this season. Next race, both drivers will have the new Jordan, from all reports.

Sania Mirza into the semi-finals of the Forest Hills tournament. Here she meets a hot shot 15 year old American kid ranked somewhere in the 400s ... who came into this tournament as a wild card ... and who has a wild card entry for the US Open too. Hope Mirza puts her in her place.

In the US open, Mirza will meet Malvai Washington's sister in the first round ... don't remember her first name but "Washington" is her second name ... ;-) ... while Mirza is currently ranked 50, Washington is ranked 6 places or so below her.

Did u read about the Indians reaching Bulayawo less than 24 hours before the match starts ... heh heh ... Ganguly says they couldn't do anything about it as they were just following the iternary handed to them by the Board. Following Indian cricket is so much fun and so much .... pissing off.

Anyway, here is to a great match .... Telegraph has changed its story and as of the latest report, JP Yadav is in the 11 while RP, Venu and Raina r out of the 12 ... Murali Karthik to be super-sub. Here is the link - http://www.telegraphindia.com/1050826/asp/sports/story_5158528.asp
