Cricket mania

YAAAAAAAAAAY for Team India!! What an epic match. Dhoni- amazing captaincy! When we really needed that nudge to maintain scores and keep the match going... he was there. Drove us to victory! And victory in style... with that sexy winning six! Greaattt match!  


My parents were out of town for a couple of days, during the Ind-Pak semi final. Called all my friends home and we had a BLAST cheering. The noise in my house was unbelievable! Shouting, hugging, dancing and wooohooooooooo! 


There's just something about this sport that excites us Indians. It consumes our attention, and brings out competition. Like they say, cricket is a religion in India. Each one of us loves cricket at some level. Some maybe cricket fanatics, like my brother. My brother LOVES the sport. And some may not be cricket-crazy, but they enjoy a good match from time to time. And of course, some who are bleeding blue just for this nation.


I love cricket for the spirit and excitement it creates, bringing together one and all- irrespective of their social or economic status. You could be anyone, from any place, but you feel completely comfortable walking up to stranger to ask "Bhaiyya score kya hai?" 
It unites us in a way that combines sportsmanship and patriotism.


I hope this is the first of the many World Cups India is going to get home. Proud of you guys!
