Hi friends, I know this is very late start to my second post but could not find time indeed. I thought of this post right after Indian Cricket team who are generally called as "Men in Blue" shortly MIB lost in the final ODI against Srilanka and unfortunately missed to top the ICC Cricket team ranking. I know many of you would feel happy that India won the ODI series and also the T20 contest against Srilanka in Colombo but only very few would have known the effect of the one defeat for India in the final ODI in this series. The nine consecutive wins helped the MIB to move to the second spot following SA and followed by Australians but the last ODI defeat against Srilanka pushed India's position in ICC ranking from second to third instead that single win could have helped us to top the list.
We can always get to that spot at one point or the other but the opportunity comes rarely which should be used in an effective way but Dhoni's men missed it. Don't think that I am criticizing the Indian Cricket team, indeed I am very happy that the young team is delivering more than expected but the momentum should not go off when there are continuous victories.
I suggest if the momentum keeps going for the next few years then we can win the world cup 2011 which will be the happiest moment for every cricket lover in India. I am hoping to see that moment. Lets all wish MIB for a bright future as cricket lovers .
See you all soon with a new post!! bye..

hi da. nice blog.
ReplyDeleteMIB also expands to "Men in Black" :)
ReplyDeleteOK.. The present Team India is one of the best ever one day team.. Wonderfully composed team with Gambhir and Sehwag open the innings in a very positive spirit(although Sachin opened with Sachin who eventually had no share in the bunch of runs scored due to some of the worst decisions)and then Yuvraj,Dhoni in the middle order having some good partnerships. In the 20-20 match, we could see how long Indian batting line up is. Indian team had never been this good after losing 7 wickets. Yousuf and Irfan played some stunning shots in the match. Ojha also bowled well in the one day series. Good captaincy and good team work..Totally a wonderful tour for India..
@sam - I am not saying that the team is not playing well. They r doing good but should not lose the momentum after consecutive victories. That's the main thing i ve focussed on.. Look the loss of one defeat in the last match v missed to top the list.. So we should be careful rite??
ReplyDeleteDamn.. They've lost 2 20-20 matches..
