When we said “Come on India, we are with you”… we least expected that the Indian cricket team would also say "Even we will be there with you.. soon". They have infact done it, they have booked the flight tickets from West Indies to be with us, they will be at home in 2 days time. Its was the death of dreams for all the Indian cricket fans. But, this world cup has been a world cup of young, fresh and exuberant men. Round 1 of the tournament has seen two asian teams (India and Pakistan) not reaching the super 8’s. The so-called mecca of cricketing world (asian subcontinent) is not anymore recognized and ruled by the big boys.. it’s the young lads in the likes of Tharanga (SL), Chamara silva(SL), Malinga(SL), Uthappa(IND), Tamin Iqbal(BAN) who are making a statement and waiting to be noticed. Hello Sachins, Jayasuryas and Inzis.. please make way for these budding icons of the future, who are passionate, more hungry and willing to go out there fearless and perform. Its good for the sport!!! Having said that, there remain some greats…immortals-of-the-cricketting-world if u can call them.. Muralitharan, Shaun Pollock, Lara, Smith who will remain unshaken and perform against the odds. They can single handedly turn the tables around for the opponents. Watch the remaining of the ICC world cup 2007 for these men of character and honour!.. if not for the Indian cricket team.
