YeppâŠIâm back.. Wanted to hit my laptop keys badly for so many days..But I guess it was worth the wait. What really brings me back, is nothing great than our own Indian Cricket worshipped by billions in India & world over.
April 30thâ2010 â ICC T-20 WC kicks off in The Caribbean.
India, underdogsâ after getting out of the tournament the previous time, being the reigning champions then, kick off to an expected good start against the Afghani Talibansâ. Next match bestowed India with another win against The Proteas.
Top of the Table in Group C.
India; the first team to qualify for the super-eights with an all win record in the league. Well done India J

India has Match with The Kangaroos.
My friends & Me planned to watch the match over some drinks in Xtreme sports bar. Managed to reach there after much hassle, only to find our destined abode crammed. âsob-sobâ My idea of fun goes flop & we retreat. Nay, how can we.. We head to B-flat Bar nearbyâŠcozy seating..Candlelight..One on one drinks..Ambience was perfect. While India gave us the reason not to cry over unwatched game with lowered Spirits in the Xtreme Sports. I had Cosmoâ to start with, then a walk on the beach concluded with an Irish Coffee was worth the High spirits we were in without the Xtreme Sports.

India needs to win against the Hostsâ to keep chances of going thru the semis alive..Alas!! They do what they are best in..Disappoint the zillions waiting @ home . Somebody stated in FB, please come back..donât embarrass us against the Lankans now.

India take on the previous time finalists & neighbor âSri Lanka âŠ
I am in office & my colleague comes & asks, ânot watching the match⊠you got the television right over.â I am like, ânay..have better things to doâ. Finished some interestingâ work & head towards the cafeteria to find people still hoping for an Indian win to savor some pride.
I guess somebody had to remind the Captain, that they were playing T-20 WC & not Test matchâŠPathetic display by the Indian captain in the span of time I saw the match.
Who caresâŠgot cab to catch⊠we leaveâŠ.
May 12th- 1:53 am â get a sms from Manoj âIndian Cricket deserved itâ.
I had no updates, so Googled for the exact statusâŠhmmm.. The Lankans won .. Congrats..
I reply, âChill bhaiya..when we expect more..nothin happens..â
Manoj,â You call it expecting more shiv? Just one out of the 3 matches. Forget qualifying for the semis. At least they should have managed to win one out of 3. Then I wouldn have send this message.â
Obvious reasons..When itâz about Cricket- emotions do run High !!
My explanation was on the lines that the team was quite High in Spirits after beating the Afghanis and The Proteas, & the Hangover prevented them from even performing remotely well in the next three encounters. The Indian Captain had just snatched the IPL championship from the favourites Mumbai Indians..went till super-eight( improved since last time)
Donât blame the poor fellow..he played cricket till he drank 4 litres of milk everyday⊠Too much of socializing..oops.. I meant cricketâ & 4 beers substituting the milk.. took a toll of the lad.
Disclaimer - MSD.. No offence.. Though Beer has never the solution to any problem, neither has Milk been.. Your personal choice.. I just want India to rise n' shine J
[P.S. â thanks Manoj bhaiya..for your high on emotion msg.. I did something I was cribbinâ for in so many days J ]
