Cricket Fever

Thursday, April 26, 2007

None likes to talk of the world cup these days. This has been the most boring world cup ever. It may be because of India’s early way out from the series. Or may be due to the long lasting schedule of the super eight matches.. But now with the semi finals, the discussions have again raised.
The Srilankans were amazing throughout the match. And the result was nothing much different than the expectations. Only thing was a more closer encounter was expected between the two giants.
The South African players have proved their name as “choker”. No doubt Aussies are a better side. But South Africans had many chances to win against them. But they didn’t seem to have any plans to win the world cup. The batsmen put their weapons down in front of Mcgrath and Twait. None except Gibbs offered a little struggle. But after he went out for 39 trying to play a good length delivery by Twait, the Africans side collapsed like a house made up of playing cards. And 7 players have returned to pavilion for as low as 103. There were more expectations from the senior batsmen like Smith, DeVilliars, Kallis and Boucher. But Kallis and Boucher couldn’t even open their account.
Once again, the African side has proved that they can’t handle the pressure.

So now, its almost sure that the final will be played between Aussies and Lankans. And whole India will be hoping for the recurrence of 1996 final. Winning the world cup will be best send off to the legendary all rounder Sanath Jaisurya playing his last world cup.

Go Sri Lanka Go. 110 crore Indians are here cheering up for you. All the best.
