The Best Thing I liked About 2011 World Cup

The best thing I remember about this year's world cup is that last sixer of the tournament. The sixer that let India kiss the cup. Dhoni did it in his own style, fearlessly as a word can best describe. I remember that six every time i think about world cup. I wonder if that Sixer was better than the one Miandad hit in 1986 to win the Sharjah cup!!! And I just remembered something a friend told me last Sunday. Each time she watches the repeat telecast of the world cup final, she still gets the thrill of winning moment. She can never have enough of it. True for most of us. Although I was not very excited externally when India won the cup, cuz i never thought we would. I even had a bet Sri Lanka would win. I lost the bet of course. Still the thrill of winning the world cup was many times more, thanks to that wonderous sixer from Dhoni's bat. The sheer power, and confidence with which we took it all from Sri Lanka was in that one shot. I love it. Like my friend, each time I think of it, a proud smile lights up my face. Man! The way he did it!!!

Who's the Man Of Match

Andrew Strauss scored more runs and became also the MOM. He almost won the game for England. But still "Times Of India" does not have place to put a picture of his on the paper today. These days, some newspapers only speak "Sachin" if he scored a few runs. Call it a century if you like. But i am beginning to feel sick of it. And if India won yesterday, would it not be more due to Zaheer Khan than to Sachin? Because those 3 wickets meant more to India than anything else. It's the same complaint the S Africans had when Sachin scored his half century of centuries. Jack Kallis had a scored a ton (I think it was the second continuous one) and his team won if remember well. Still the media here focused on Sachin and his century. They forgot India lost and Kallis did a better century. It's in a way good they focus on the good things. But not at the expense of better games. Probably they're on a desperate attempt to make Sachin the "greatest" of them all. I am beginning to get irritated. I AM actually and i cant stand this anymore. And to the dismay of all Sachin fans, I don't think Sachin will have a world cup to his credit... :)
