India in Twenty-20 Finals!!!!!!

hi folks,

sorry for no posts for past few weeks! got stuck up with my internal exam works. just got over yesterday.

this time i thought what i feel abt India's performance against Autralia in the semifinals!

we were around 175 hostelates tightly packed in our TV hall. evryone where very eager and enthusiastically sitting there to see India winning!

the start was not good for India. Sehwag, injured and caught behind soon with single digit score on his name. Gambir, who tried to shine, got out by a catch in deep. and it was 48-2 at the end of 9th over. But soon came the breakthru from the blaster Yuvaraj. He once again showed his talent with his bat. and yeah registered his name for the longest six of the tournament(119m). he was in a good touch. for every stroke he made, there was loud roar in th TV hall. all shouting as if they hit a six. No bowler could manage him. atleast Clarke bowled well. but Dhoni made a short and powerfull knock, which took India to 188 for 5 in 20 overs.

then came the second chasing innings of Australia. Gilli was great in his form. but our sreesanth made Hayden struggle a lot. made him stand idle. wow....what a bowling. the highlight is the reactions sreesanth showed after each ball. u can never see such a great bowled, by which Gilli was out. man the middle stick was rattled. Then it was Irfan, who took Hodge out very easily. the bad time came for India when Hayden and Symonds were together blasting all Indian bowlers' overs. But then the gamble by Dhoni. he brought Sree back to take Hayden out. and in the other end, Irfan made Symonds walk back to the pavilion shortly. the guys who came after that could not finish it fopr Australia. RP.Singh's 19th over was simply awesome. very good bowling line and pace. gave no chance for Haddin and Hussey to touch the ball. that was great infact. The last over was given to Joginder, at first this decision made all of us upset, due to his bad bowling. but then, we were totally surprised when he took two wickets and gave just 4 runs!!! that made India enter the Finals.

after a long time, there was a total performance in all sectors. that a great thing to see!

so its once again India vs Pakistan. an obviously interesting pair to watch. now its finla match too! so expect a great mathc tomo. lets see who wins. have confidence on the men in blue. they have to win after they loosing the final vs England. so go get them India!

Twenty -20!

hi folks,

so once again the cricket fever starts??

i hope i could hear a loud roar "YES". yup...the fever once again. but this will be a new experience. 80 min per innings, 20 over for a side, 4 overs of max for a bowler. crucial na?? it will be and it is. as an Indian, i too want India to win this world cup. will India win?? hope for the best always.

and temme, what u all feeling abt this kind of a game??

can twenty20 replace the regular ODIs?? will that be liked by all people? will that bring the player's real talents out??

we gotto think lot. coz, the great players of before years way that the test cricket only brings a player's true talents out. so only most players come for debut in test. but then, nowadays, ODIs has dominated over the test cricket and now its been in cloud nine, over taking Test cricket.
but this quicker version, Twenty20, is very short. the experienced elder players are afraid, may be don want, to play. this should ring a bell in everyone's mind. folks, this will be purely on luck. u should always hit, hit hit and hit. there wont be any classical matches. just the quickies. the entertainment, the great feeling will not be satisfied by this quickies. so according to me, we can play Twenty20-s, but this should not replace the ODIs in the future. so support for the original version of the game forever.

but anyway, for an entertainment, we all watch this Twenty20 Worldcup2007 and give Indian team a great support for the victory. Jai Hind!

The Tragedy i met!

hi folks,

hmmm.....i don know how u all will react to this post. but thought that i should share my feelings abt this incident to u all.

i was home this weekend. then on monday night i was returning back to college hostel. i was waiting in railway station in my city. There four people came to me. Two males and two females. each female had a baby in their hand! the guy asked me whether i understand hindi. i said yes. he started narrating his problem.
he along with his family, from Jarkhand has come to Kanyakumari and to some other temples here in south. they were on their way back home. but unfortunately, their suitcase was stolen. they had kept 4500 rupees in that suitcase. he has no money now. he was crying to me that all of them along with the babies are starving. i could stop my emotions. but managed as it is a public place. but the thing is, i'm helpless. If i had enough money, i would have taken ticket for their return journey. but i'm just a student and i had not enough money in my hand. thats the peak of his fate i hope. they don know other languages too. i gave rs.50. but felt really really bad for my worst position not helping them.

they then moved onto the next fellow, as they need a large sum of money to go back home for train tickets and for food. but i could see they r not given any money. all thinking that that was fake. i felt very bad when i saw that scene. they couldn't differentiate the true feeling and the fake?? what humanity we are left with?? we just speak a lot. i'm sure folks, if i were a working guy, i could have done more than enough. but i wasn't. hmmm...!

i finally adviced them to approach the railway police for help. they said they will try, but they were actually afraid of them. as my train was about to leave, i started for my travel with an heavy heart. i pray to God, The Almighty, to give them some solution to reach their place safely. atleast guys, u help when u could.

Impressive!

hi folks,

i was wondering, whether India will win atleast one more match! but, fortunately, we have leveled the series!!!!!!!!!!

i don have words. i stopped watching the tv when Dravid got out yesterday. but only later found that Uthappa and Dhoni helped India winning the match! thst great man.

but its giving an alarm regarding many things.
FIELDING. theat is the major point where we are very worst! ya, very worst. English fielders were impressive!

next is bowling. we some people doing good and some very bad. Dravids should have thought twice before giving the last over to Yuvraj. Did u all see those 5 sixers in the last five balls??? he is a bowler man. he is going that very daringly and all the balls were very much predictive!!! that really bad.


but if India had last the match yesterday, i will go to England to kill that Umpire. bloody fellow. Shah was caught behind and he said no! I think he is blind!!! ICC should not certify such bad guys for this crucial job! and did u see that run out issue for Collingwood?? i though that the umpire should be shot at the point itself! anyway, India made it atlast. Thanks to the guys who batted well.

Lets see how we clinch the series! wait..wait..! will we clinch??
