    Hockey Research Paper

    Trophies and awards won in cricket - a game played by a few countries, namely Australia, Bangladesh, England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, West Indies and Zimbabwe - do not mean much as they do not have international recognition or stature. Moreover, it is played at a much, much lesser scale in a few other countries and whatever indications we have show that cricket does not have the strength to spread all over the globe. Further, matches played by stronger countries against weak oppositions like Bangladesh and Zimbabwe, end being one sided or a cake walk. Any frontline opposition batsman or a strike bowler will either be able to notch up big scores or take bagful of wickets against weak oppositions without much…

    Personal Narrative-Manchester Derby

    We were desolate in despair of what to do next.Scoring 2 more goals in such a short time seemed to be the next great challenge for us.But injection of new spirit via substitution by Sir Alex opened a new highway for us in the quest for immortality or I could simply say the champions League title.It was me who scored one of the equalizers by an eye catching free kick from 30 yard mark at the late 70’s.I was then followed by Christiano Ronaldo with his twists and turns which could bluff even the greatest defender of the world.But the most heart-rending scene came for the mighty Barcelona when I scored the winning goal at the 93rd minute by an unforgivable volley from Ronaldo.Eventually,we ended the game by winning the game by 3 goals to 2.It was the happiest moment of my life watching fans taking standing ovations for me as I was announced “The Man of the Match”.I also took bow in reply to them.later,I shared my jersey with Lionel Messi after he appreciated my performance by saying;…
