Indians in Sri Lanka: Finally They Are in Final


Thanks to Yuvraj Singh, who saved us from some shame. I have nothing to say for the rest of the team, as they were playing a practice session. At least that's what I could feel. Well now we are in final, that's what matter. But is this is the team which a country of billion can produce. What is the game in which we are the best? Its cricket. But are we really?

Since last few series played by Indian Team (with Australia and Pakistan) I decided not to watch the Cricket Math for at least next few years. Its really very painful to watch them roaring in one match and crumbling down in another.

"Cricket is a unpredictable game", I was hearing this since my childhood, but there are teams who made the people to change their opinion. They told if you got guts, you can do it. First to my knowledge it was Sri Lankans who told the world - What you are supposed to do in first 15 over. They change the way everyone was looking at cricket and importance of first 15 overs.

They continued that charisma for the whole series. They deserved and they won the World Cup. That was a beautiful moment in the history of cricket. They told us, "You got to move now!!! not in last 10 overs". Do it now!!

However that charisma they could not maintain. But it was followed by many team. And all the cricketer, world wide, started making use of this technique. 15 overs 100+ Runs and one or two wickets, no Problem. Now save your wickets for the slog overs.

And then came the Australia. Since last 4 years I am seeing them in form. Although I am not a regular viewer, but I am sure that they have won almost 80 % of the matches they played, in last four years.

I hope that one day there will be 11 people from this one billion people, who can change the way we look at Cricket (like Lankan ) and maintain it (like Aussies), I hope one day Indian Cricket team will be known for its team, not for Sachin Tendulkar or Virender Sehwag. It will be a team!.


Lets wait for that day!, and I am sure it will come! Because I dont want you to call me a pessimist.
