3 sleepless days/nights,10 fingers lost their nails..in the end it was pure ecstasy having witnessed history.It was a magical moment.I wanted to shout and clap and make all the noise I could but alas!I was in the midst of nowhere,a place where Cricket didn't mean anything except that it was a wireless service provider :(
So here I was in Great Falls,sleeping early in order to be awake in time for the FINALE.I woke up at 4am and realized that me watching the match wasn't helping us in anyway since the Sri Lankans were killing us with their batting and the score just seemed to shooting.So I decided to take a quick nap and woke up just in time to watch our Team Blue walk onto the pitch to start batting.And then I was glued.That's when the nail biting started.My right hand lost its nails when Tendulkar was caught and my left hand when Gambhir was bowled...leaving me bleeding....bleeding blue..:)
It had been a good 5 yrs since Iv seen a match thru and thru and it was simply amazing to watch the World Cup and see Team India win.A new found respect for Afridi for addressing the media and making them aware that this was sports and had nothing to do with hating Indians, and Sangakkara for so graciously admitting that with a team like India it either had to be 350 runs or 7 wickets and in the end the better team won.
It would take time for this settle as the victory is still sinking in but then its also time to get geared up for the IPL and shout Deccan Chargers now....:)
