The manner Pacquiao held the billiards stick was no amateur at all and knowing a trick shot like that suggests that he has been playing the sports for quite a while now. Hmmmmm... It would be nice to see him play pool with Efren "Bata" or Django one of these days.

Marvin Sonsona dominates tough Mexican opponent in comeback fight

Marvin Sonsona, after a 20-month layoff, proved that he still got what it takes to be a world boxing champion again in his fight with Carlos Jacobo of Mexico at the weekend. Sonsona dominated his tough Mexican opponent by landing devastating combinations in the early part of their match and almost ending the fight in the eight round with a knock-out punch.

Dubbed “Back with a Vengeance,” the boxing duel ended in the tenth round with a unanimous decision from the judges, 98-91, 98-91 and 97-92, all favoring Sonsona. It was held at the Hoops Stadium in Lapu-Lapu City.

General Santos native Marvin Sonsona, 21, became the World Boxing Organization light flyweight champion in 2009 by defeating Jose Lopez in Canada. He, however, failed his attempt in taking his second title from Puerto Rican Wilfredo Vazquez Jr., 20 months ago.

With his recent win against Jacobo, Sonsona's record improved to 15-1-1 with 12 knockouts, while Jacobo is now down to 16-4-1 with 14 knockouts.

INDIA LOST THE NO.1 TEST RANKING : ENGLAND SNATCHED

India has maintained its first rank still 13th august 2011, the third Test against England, at Edgbaston in Birmingham. India beat South Africa by an innings and 58 runs against South Africa at the Eden Gardens ground in Kolkata, on Thursday 18th February 2010. With India winning the match it positions them on top of the ICC Test Championship ranking at the annual cut-off date of April 1.

England snatched away the No.1 Test ranking from India beating them by an innings and 242 run margins during the third Test. India suffered their third heaviest defeat in Tests on Saturday. The Indians were simply not prepared for the series; players broke down at crucial junctures; M.S. Dhoni didn't have the first choice team at his disposal; the Indians are playing too much cricket. This is not cricket. Just hit and run. No techniques, nor class in play. Indian team played for T-20 match like in all the three tests.

It’s simply pathetic. The Indian team lacks fighting spirit and it’s once more evident that they are home paper tigers. Unless India can find a few world quality fast bowlers, they will never have chance to become world No 1, actually they were not eligible for No1 rank. This series is an eye-opener for Indian cricket.

Agreed England has been the better team in this series and deserve their No.1 Ranking. England claimed the number-one ranking in the ICC Test Championship table for the first time in 32 years. The win also gave them  3-0 lead in the four-match Test series. 

The exact reason of such worst test performance and the first test series defeat under Dhoni’s captaincy are Injury of the Indian Cricketers, Playing too much of Cricket, Batting failure of the Indian batsmen, Inconsistency of the Indian bowlers, Lack of co-ordination in the Indian team.
