Ya, ya. I know not too many here even know what cricket is. Its a stupid game tbh but its the only one India doesnt completely suck at and only one which the 1.2 billion + Indians love unanimously. After 28 long years India Have finally won the worldcup again Team India Captain and Man of the match - Mahendra Singh Dhoni!! http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc_cricket_worldcup2011/content/current/story/509121.html
The only thing (other than India winning the WC) I wanted was if Sachin could manage his 100th Century today. Too bad he missed out :/
That's true, but it didn't really looked like he (or anyone else) cared. The hundredth hundred is always there for the taking-but a win like this comes once in a lifetime. Amazing temperament shown by Gambhir, and Dhoni played a captain's knock when it mattered- fantastic stuff
Me too. I have some Sri Lankan friends (more like family), and they must be pretty disappointed right now.
Yep, if you win the biggest competition in your field, it doesnt really matter how you got there. There is nothing more you can ask after you win the WC. Other than, maybe, winning it again next time too Oh well, they already won not too long ago (they won in '96). India had to wait 28 years for their second World Cup
Well they played well and deserved to win. And 28 years is a long time, so it must've made their victory even more special
Hang on a second here - 28 years a long time to wait???? How about 86 years between Red Sox World Series and Cubs 102 years and counting??!!?? (Totally off topic I know - sorry - just lending some long suffering perspective) Back on topic - Grats to India, from what I read they definitely deserved it. And yes I know what it is - watched some club matches that some friends were on in college.
I don't know much about cricket, but apparently Ireland kicked England's ass and that's all that matters.
Yep. That was a pretty amazing match. In baseball terms, its kind of like the Nationals beating the Red Sox to win the World Series after being 3-0 down
Ya we really got England bad in the month of march. We beat them at their own sports twice. Such great victories.
Judging by the extent of India's celebrations, it's fair to say that there is a high irregularity in them winning World Cups.
Yay now We get get blocked from the world cup. That's one way to deal with a problem, ban Ireland from competing. Now england will win it every year. We lost marginally to India the winners, beat England and had solid showings against the other teams and we get stopped. It's hardly a world cup if you stop the world from playing.
