India lifts the ICC 2011 World Cup
India erupts in happiness !!! Firecrackers are lighting up the sky and one can only heer cheers all around. A whole nation celebrates..... A correction on the header.....Indian team is first lifting Sachin high above...as a prelude to lifting the Cup itself.....
Gambhir misses his century by a whisker.....
Leaves a bad feeling...Gambhir deserved a century for this truly maginificient effort.
A run a ball keeps Lanka away....
India now firmly in control.....Most importantly I dont see anyone playing for the gallery. Maturity on display.
150 Up....125 to go...
It is all numbers from now on.....And of course attitude, aptitude, energy, enthusiasm.....
3G is here....oops Dhoni is here.
3G is here....oops Dhoni is here.Dhoni has promoted himself in the batting order. Confidence shows ! And SriLanka responds by unleashing Lasith Malinga.
100 Up for India...and Virat departs...
Gautam and Virat had done well.100 has come up. Partnership has crossed 70. And then Virat departs....Well done Virat....Rest of India will continue from here..
India is cruising on....
Gautam and Virat are taking on the challenge quite well. Runs are coming off the willow at the required pace. This has forced a change in tactics. Spin is being brought on. First over sees a missed catch. Last over had two wides and a misfielding....Pressure is making its presence felt in the Lankan team.
God walks out on India
God has decided that Rest of India has to do it....And they will. The pessimists have started their chatter. Optimists havent given up. A large percentage of fans are caught in the middle. To win or not to win....
Saturday Evening Blues....You have a choice
It is not Monday yet. Still am seeing only Blues....You have a choice...You can go for the Pale Blue ( I am with it ) or go for the Darker Blue ( at your own risk )
A shadow is cast on Wankhade Stadium...momentarily...
Demolition man implodes in front of Lasith Malinga in the very second ball. A passionate review appeal goes for naught. A pall descends on the grounds. God takes over. With strokes across the ground, momentum is still maintained.
Cricket has taken over India
Am watching the ICC 2011 World Cup Final right now on TV. The streets are empty. People are all in front of their TVs watching the match closely. SriLanka has just got 274 runs after struggling for a while. In another few minutes, God will walk in to take on SriLanka along with the Demolition Man. Hoping that they will keep on going and we walk away with the WorldCup.
