Why have I reduced blogging? Cos my damn company has blocked the site. Thanks to some smarties I have found enuff cookies/proxies to login now.... SO ye ye ye to that and an even bigger ye ye ye to all Indians- We are the world champs.... so what if it was twenty twenty.... I was totally bowled over by the new format and the win was just the huge icing; all cherry laden on that cake....
What an amazing win.... No thriller in recent memory has been racier and more intriguing... look at the crescendo... Opponents were flayed and grounded to dust in increasing order to their importance. First was England with the super sexy sixer mania exhibited by Yuvi to avenge the recent ODI defeat. Then evaporating all that South African guroor of their superiority to vapor with such amazing audacity that we knocked them out completely... Next shredding Aussie bravado to tatters (though it surely must have fired them for the ODIs; but I don't mind foregoing this series (I hope and pray we win) to be called first ever champions of T20 world cup). What amazing grit and gumption to be showed by this bunch of virtual unknowns (Rohit Sharma, joginder ) and back to fight for glory stars (Irfan, Bhajji, Sehwag etc)....
TO top it we get to play Pakistan; make an abysmal score and fight like lions to pull it back only to hand it back to them and finally win when the spectators almost suffered a stroke.. Cant get sweeter... The happiness splashed all across the country from corner to corner and final culmination of euphoria with the reception accorded to the team at Bombay just about makes this one of most favorite FAIRY tales till date- albeit slightly different cos this one had only Knights and no Princesses.
I dont mind and am sure neither would most of you that read this....
Waiting with bated breath for the Aussie mania to pan out; followed by the Pakis.. I say- Bring it on........
