The Winning Streak

'Monday'.......damn thing............it always comes round again, pretending to be new, but alas!! its always the same in reality. I think thats what most people feel about " MONDAYS ". But not this monday........i mean yesterday..........thank God it came and disappeared, without causing much of " anything ". It was just a brief, insignificant interlude between a 'Super Sunday', and a thousand times more 'Superb Tuesday'. Oyye bheja fry!! then scrolling try!!


Still didnt get the connection between Sunday and Tuesday?? Gadho prasad chaurasia that you are, lemme tell you that India won both the CB series finals. I know that its a stale news to deliver, toh kya hua.......ho jaye balle balle, oyye chakde phatte. God kasam dil garden, garden ho gaya!! Oh! boy!! what a treat it was to watch India digging the final nail in Australia's coffin.


Really glad that i played truant from college today, otherwise would have missed some huge doses of entertainment. Classes would have made my mind wander towards cricket, eventhough my body could not actually slip out. Believe me guys, my vocal cords are almost paralysed................courtesy, the high intensity of screaming and shouting that i was engaged in through out the day. I guess my adrenaline was all over the living-room. I hardly remember the number of times that i jumped in glee or joyously punched the air above and screamed, " yeeeeeeeeee".


I really missed dad a lot today. Watching cricket with dad is like being crazy and zombiehood in full bloom. We have this mini-dancing sessions, everytime a boundary is hit or a wicket is taken, that makes us appear almost like lunatics. And not to mention the damaging effects we can have on the tympanum ( it means ear drums........for readers who didnt study biology ), courtesy the high decibels of noise that we genarate, contributing to more of noise pollution. But watching cricket sans dad is sooo boring.


Ok! enough of my reverie, but what a nail biting final it was. The best moments of the match would be undoubtedly Tendulkar's innings, and not to mention the joy on seeing Clarke's stumps in total disarray. Dil ko badi thandak pahunchi when Hayden got short of his crease and i think the match reached its dramatic denouement, when Symmonds' foot was caught before wicket off Bhajji's spin.


I do agree that all sports should be played with a competitve spirit, but i couldn't help but enjoy a dash of Schadenfreude in today's game. You should have seen those Aussie faces...........they were like, a sorry looking heap of crushed arrogance. These guys probably think that they are god's gift to cricket. This defeat must have galled the hell out of them; poor souls, i guess were more busy in firing verbal arsenals; with a toupee like hairstyle guy creating all the ruckus. I wonder why he took so much of offence on being compared to the atavistic remnants, probably he didnt realise that he almost lost the chance to become the first ever " living fossil ", amongst the human species.


Anyway i am more than glad that India won and gave a befitting reply to those puerile blame games played by the Aussies. I guess that was the only way to teach those characters a lesson. Chalo Test ka badla One-day mein le liya.

Now Playing:: Eternal Flame.....................MLTR
