India's Backdoor Entry

After the recent worldcup debacle( India's) the entire blogging population in this cricket loving nation hopped onto the bandwagon of discussing why? Why we failed? So since I follow the pack and never lead it... I did too and thats why this post.

Since the world cup was not too far away this time, the fervor reached me ..and i had retired from active cricket viewing long back..Rediff and its live score cards kept me hooked for the matches... India lost to Bangladesh... sad.. we can do it...provided Pakistan loses to Ireland we still have a chance.. so Pakistan did... and we won Bermuda..Woolmer died and then we lost to Srilanka.. Thats the world cup recap for what it matters.

Then came the office coffee talk.. The importance of the worldcup didnt escape my American colleagues. They knew how we felt, every week of the year they have a football, a baseball and a basketball team to support.

Now that India lost, our converstaions turned to fine tuning what exactly was the problem.. Dravid..no way he is the best.. tendulkar hmm maybe yeah we have seen him throw that wicket away one too many times.


Now the latest buzz word is MSD and though i never understood how he became the captain and the mysterious circumstances of Dravid stepping down.. I dont mind ..Dhoni is bringing cricket back to its fans and we are eager to watch him lead the side for more games to come..
