Great Day for Cricket
by Rakesh Narayan on Mar 18, 2007 10:19 PM   Permalink

Mediocrity should never be rewarded and justice was finally done yesterday with the 2 mediocre performances by Ind and Pak being rewarded. Although I wished Inbdia win, I didnt feel it was fair enough. Prem put an icing on the cake, the 17 year old and 18 year old from BD did the job, what were our answers to them. I wont blame the senior players for every loss, getting out when trying to accelerate is not a wrong thing. Dravid, Sachin shouldnt be blamed in this instance). The bigger problem was the unexplained late collapse. Dhoni is overrated and ome of Yuvi and Saurav had to stay till the end (wonder what they were thinking). On most days a 66 with 50 strike rate would be criticised and esp when ya have taken so many balls ya had to finish it. Bhajji has truly proved to be a waste bowler with no wicket taking ability. Anyways this has raised the standard of the competition and is the funnest WC ever. I wish theres never a world cup played in the 3rd rated subcontinent pitches which doesnt give the teams other than top 8 a chance to win. Good luck to India.
