DREAM WIN!!

FAIRY TALE, ABSOLUTELY!!!
Its been a dream run for the young Indian team and culminated in the thrilling victory over arch rivals Pak!! This is the stuff dreams are made of!! Hats off to Dhoni & his boys!!!! Bravo!!!!!

India were looking down the barrel after that loss against NZ and needed to play out of their skin to progress in the championship. And they did that in some style!!

India crushed England, sent SA packing and shocked Aussies with aggressive cricket. Yuvraj proved that he is a massive force to reckon with and those 6 sixes off a frontline bowler were unbelievable to say the least!

Aussies were thrashed and hit out of the park by Yuvi in the most dismissive manner! World champions? Oh Yeah!!

Coming to the final against Pakistan, India were favourites. But Pakistan contained India to a reasonable total with great bowling. Yuvraj and Dhoni were picked up by Gul who was the top bowler in the tournament. India needed to pick wickets regularly and thats just what they did, helped by poor shot selection of pak batsmen along the way.

But it was that guy again! Misbah-ul-Haq! he took them single-handedly (okay, 2 sixes by Tanvir did help) to the doorsteps of victory. But again, he failed to deliver the KO punch and India broke their zinx of losing finals!!

Awesome final to finish what has been the most exciting tournament in a long long time!! I guess last one was the 2003 World Cup in the same country!

And to think that we did it without the big 3 (sachin, sourav and rahul) and no zaheer either!!
Maybe it was the very reason we won ;)

Tee Off at Twenty20!!

So its begun!!!

The latest version of pajama cricket is here!! Helter-skelter cricket, its more akin to the gully cricket we all have grown up playing. I can imagine dressing room situations where the lower order guys would be itching to go out and tonk it around from the word go :D

Its tailor made for the Sehwags, Afridis & Gillies of the world.


Though a huge shocker already in the upset win of Zim over Aus would point to a method approach to the madness ;)

The opening match was a blinder with Gayle hitting proteas out of the park at will, some bloody innings that was!!
His effort was undone by Windies bowlers/fielders as only they can! and now they are out of the tourney thanks to another dasher from Bangladesh, Mhd Ashraful.
