So the West Indian side managed to start off the worls cup on the winning side! Pakistan seemed like a depleted side to say the least! The bowling was supposed to be a weakness with key bowlers missing, but it was the batting that failed to fire! This loss is going to stay with Pakistan when its time to qualify for the semi final! West Indians , if they win the remaining two group matches, will have an advantage going into the super 8s.
Lets see what happens.

Hello friends, I am back after a long silence!
A lot has happened since I last blogged. Ironically, one of the most importants things of my life stopped me from blogging. We kept it a secret from all but a very select few, so I could not blog about it. Nothing else seemed important enough to blog about!
For those who did not guess! - We are having a baby! And we now know it to be a girl.
There! I said it.
Hopefully, now I should be out here more often!

They say what begins well, ends well! Well, in case of the Indian team, this has been the case! They won, the opening one dayer in the West Indies, lost the remaining 4. Then they drew the first three tests and finally won the last one! So the two end points meet to make the complete circle!
This is a new generation Indian team! The team looses a few and wins some, but comes out stronger from each showing. Loosing the one day series actually brought out the best in the Indian Cricket. It finally brought Md Kaif and Sehwag out of the rut. Sreeshanth and M Patel aged a minimum of two years in these two months! A great bowler like Pathan actually warms the bench, and his absense is not felt even a wee bit! Harbajan sits out two tests, and the likes of Sehwag take over the spinner’s mantle!
And all this is held together by the man who is at the helm of it all - Rahul Dravid! This man makes one wonder, why he was not the captain before Ganguly! Both entered the Indian Cricketing era at the same time, and both came in with a bang! He had prooven earlier when he was keeping for India in the ODIs , that additional responsibility brings out the best in him. The added responsiblities of a captain, a responsiblity that got the likes of Tendulkar down, actually boosted his performance!
Ok now to the match in question. The final test. The complete game(all three days of it) could be summarized in one word - Dravid! Quoting an Article on cricinfo,
“The difference between a boy and a man is the price of his toys. In this case it was wickets”
How true! In reality, this match was very unfairly tilted toward one team (one person in particular) This was a match played by 21 boys and one man! This one man stood tall while boys fell at either end. In the end he scored a fifth of the total runs scored in the game!

Great article by Keshi. She yearns for fairy tale endings. What she does not acklowledge, though, is that the dreams and needs of people have exceeded the boundaries of ‘wonderland’! All aladin wanted was to feed his hungry mother, and snow white really loved her seven friends (and she really was beautifull!!). Cindrella was happy serving her step mom and her step-sisters. Fairy tales happen to the pure of heart, and not to the vile that the world has now turned to.
