The English girls look much stronger and will get better with training. Indian girls should worry . Good to see kabbadi getting popular. Still remember the kabbadi and kho kho matches we used to have in school.

@fightfanatic: its another traditional Indian sport and hugely popular in India, especially in schools and colleges. Its essentially a run and touch / tag game with its own set of rules. The games get pretty competitive, especially the inter-school/inter-college ones.
