Twenty20 Fever

For all those who are tired of my cricket blogs, go no further.
Simply cannot resist penning a couple of lines on the IND-AUS match.
Contrary to what Gilly said during the post match speech, I strongly believe that we outwitted the Aussies on that day. The Aussies seemed to play intelligent cricket but Dhoni's boys came back with a scintillating win thanks to Sreesanth, Pathan, R.P.Singh and Bhaji.
Bhaji's second last over turned the tables in our favor. R.P. Singh complimented very well in the penultimate one. But when I saw Joginder Sharma with the ball during the last over, i gave up hopes of an India win as he had been butchered by the Aussies in his previous 2 overs. But what a comeback and what nerves. Jogi actually sported a smile after bowling 2 dot balls and the Aussies broke into cold sweat what with a 22 required in 4 balls. A desperate Hussey picked on the 3rd ball only to mistime the ball and give a catch to Yuvraj's safe hands. Bret Lee scores 2 runs in the next ball and then our man Joginder surprises all with a perfect Yorker to uproot the leg stump & Bret Lee is sent off packing. 1 ball 20 runs. Indians already celebrating in the crowd. Last ball, Johnson hits a four, but who cares. No one is really interested in picking the ball as much they are interested in picking the stumps and the bails. Desis in Kingsmead erupt with Joy and its a unanimous 'Chak De'...
Yuvraj, the man of the moment, picks the man of the match for his superlative 70 off 30 balls.

What more can a World cup offer, than a thriller of a match with traditional rivals India & Pakistan, fighting for the coveted cup on Monday.
