Wait is over now, as India has reached to the finals of the Cricket World Cup 2011. Our generation specially has waited this moment for 8 years. Last time when we were in the finals was in 2003, in South Africa. Everybody wants to forget that game where Zaheer Khan started the bowling and Ricky Ponting's beating of Indian bowling. Those memories are still fresh in the minds of Indians, they were very happy till the first ball was bowled.
Not to forget the embarrassing loss to Lankans in the semifinals of 1996 world cup, where we couldn't even finish the match. Everyone know how it helped to finished the carrier of Vinod Kambi, who cried like a child whose mom is lost. It took a while to forget that loss; it was the same Lankans who defeated us in semifinals at mecca of Indian Cricket, Eden Gardens. Both the times India defeated Pakistan, this time also no different scenario, but the only difference is that, the occasion is big. This is final of the World Cup and India is asking another revenge for that Kolkata Loss.
I always wondered which is the team who plays with the aggression against India??. Strangely enough the name which comes to my mind is SRI LANKA. This island nation with population of 20 million people has produced some of the most unusual and natural talent. Even if we don't take the match against them seriously, they have been very competitive against us. May be because of the history, many of them must still think that LTTE was supported by India. So there is no love lost between Indian's and Sri Lankan's. Historically these small nations jealous of big nation for obvious reasons and this mentality has crippled into the cricketers. People sometimes jokingly say that; when u ask for map of India, you get the map of Sri Lanka free. ha ha ha…
There were lots of skeptics who were rooting for India's ouster from the world cup. They had their reason about the weak bowling performance of the India. As tournament progressed Indian team has proved that, their bowling is not as weak as it made out to be. Bowling was looking weak due to pathetic fielding but once it got improved out bowling also look well. They are peaking at right time, it is the field how exerts pressure on the batsmen to make mistake so its combination which needs to work. It seems that, it’s working in our favor. So it’s been a big slap on the face of the skeptics who were hedging their bets against India.
Sri lankan Team was in the same group as the Pakistan and had very easy outing in the league rounds. In quarter and semi's also they faced the teams which were not good at playing spin hence got collapsed. There top 4 batsmen had feat of runs where they used the slow and low condition of the local pitches to their potential. Sri Lanka has always been considered as the best team at home condition.
Their top 4 batsmen are in form of their life. Everyone has crossed 300+ runs, bowling looks good with Murali leading the way. There are always been the best fielding side supporting there bowling. In all, Sri Lankan team looks good but, if you have a close look, there is one problem. Their lower middle order hasn't had too much to bat. Now with the injury of the Angelo Mathews, it looks more vulnerable. Murali, even though he is saying that, he is 100% fit, he is lying.
What I mean to say is; they have good team but not as good as team Indian. We should not let their team to play the injured player like Murali. Many will say that "whats the harm in playing Murali". I would say "It is against rule to play the murali and against spirit of the game". Talking about spirit of the game, these Islanders never played game in the true spirit.
Not to forget the incident of Suraj Randiv who deliberately bowled a NO ball to deny Virendra Sehwag a well deserved Hundred. All the blame was later put on to poor bowler who only listened to the seniors like Dilshan and Jayawardane. We are very forgiving but these small countries make use of that soft heart. We have to be ruthless and show these lankan's theire true place.
They are confident that, they can easily beat 'Men in Blue'. We could see that attitude in their eyes. I think it’s time to take the revenge of the loss of 1996 semi finals. These Lankan look very soft spoken and sweet but I am damn sure that they will show their true colors when they celebrate.
If you think of Team India, I am bit relaxed and it is quite unusual feeling. Our team is in World cup finals and I am not that worried. May be that, I lost all the feeling or drained the emotions for Pakistan match. Really I am lot relaxed about this match. There could be this reason that we have played Lankans many a times and have beaten them in their own backyard.
This team is peaking at right time; we have fantastic openers who have no comparison in the world. We do have excellent bowlers as well, because of whom we are number one test team and will be best one day team too. They look less glamorous against our batting line up but they are good. We have top 7, most destructible batsmen in the world and cool captain like MAHI, the one who can lead the team of such extraordinary talented people.
Not to forget the great man "Sachin Tendulkar", who has the dream of winning the world cup for India. This person always reminds all of us that, this is remaining for him and that is winning a world up. I never ever thought that India will reach the finals and will be so close to winning. It’s the dream of the little master and he taught that to many of the Indians. This great thinking of Sachin has catapulted him into the greatness.
Its time for burning the dreams of these Lankan, they have come to ram nagari (mumbai), where “Ram” (Sachin) is waiting with his “Vanar Sena” (Team India). Last time Ram and his Sena had to travel to Lanka but it’s kalyug and these Lankans have come to get themselves 'Dahan'. ha ha ha ha.. History Awaits us, so
