World Cup 2007

Yesterday was the grossly overvalued Indian Team's match and they did not quite come anywhere close to meeting the expectations. And today was the match of the current world champions - the Aussies. I just saw a few moments in today's match and the difference between the Indian team and Australian team was so obvious. The Aussies are such a professional team (read consistent). They always perform to a certain level irrespective of the team that they are playing against. Today they played South Africa which is a very good team but has had a lot of bad luck in the past. The Aussies scored a mammoth 377 against SA! When I was watching the match, every throw by an Australian cricketer at the stumps did hit the stumps! All this just indicates their professionalism.

The Indians on the other hand are just a pack of highly talented bunch of cricketers asked to play together in a team. Consistency has never been in the Indian dictionary. Even in the last world cup, they performed miserably for the first couple of matches and then won all the remaining matches.

But we will continue to support Team India and bet on them winning the next World Cup. HAIL Team India.
