India - World Champions


So much has been written about the subject of the miracle story of the last 2 weeks. A team of youngsters without any prior experience in the twenty20 format, headed by a new skipper, traveling without a coach and not expected to go beyond the second round, wins the WC in style trouncing the choking South Africans, the rampaging Aussies, the talented Pakistanis and the British who invented the sport. Dho daala.
Also a special mention for the Hockey team that won the Asia Cup and the Soccer team that won the Nehru Cup for the first time ever in front of 20,000 fans.
We Are the Champions of the World. Chak De India !!!!!!
2011, here we come for the ODI World Cup.

ps: Irony - Sachin Tendulkar has played 17 years in 5 world cups, hit over 40 centuries in One Day Cricket, has been the highest scorer in World Cups ever, but still has never managed to get his hands on some WC silverware, but someone like Yusuf Pathan, playing his first match ever, scores 15 runs, bowls a decent over and has a World Cup medal to report for it.
