big let down for a Billion

It was friday,23rd march.For a cricket fan of my sorts,this day is of enormous significance,it is the final chance for team India to keep our hopes alive.All the day,sitting in office, i couldnt deliver my best either,and was waiting for the match to begin.I left early (for my time frame) at 7 for home,to watch the likes of a final for India.

Bowling was tight and good, and so was the fielding,it was surprise and happiness to see our players saving few runs on the field..all bowlers have performed well...bhajji could have done better for that kind of a pitch, but however we were succeful in restricting them to what has become a chasable target nowadays( after SA chased 434 by Aus for a record victory n recent winning chases by India)..

We were even reluctant to go out for dinner n had ordered for a parcel..

India batting has come,and we had pretty good start..but Utthapa was hell bent on throwin away his wicket that every time he was hitting hard on to fielders hands..Mutthaya has given him a life but still he didnt get ny lesson..got out by hitting the ball straight into arms of Vaas who made no mistake...
This was a clear mistake and the beginning of the fiasco, we needed a very good opening partnership!!
the way sourav and sachin got out can only bring shame for the experience and the run statistics they have behind them..

YUvrajs runout was a mess too..n Dhonis LBW was the cheapest!!!!

GOne were all my hopes, wondered if this is what i had waited for(all the time in office--).. is this how a team which boasts of its batting maestros performs ?? shattered were the billion people..this is the only game,we put our blood and soul in...but this is definitely not what we expect in return!!
