The time on the clock hanging on my wall reads 12:15 PM. Just a couple of hours away from the big clash on earth today. The news papers have been screaming loud so are the news channels, they are calling it clash of the Titans and what not! But the loudest roaring the city will ever witness is going to be the roar of the cricket fans at Wankhede stadium when the Indian team walks into the ground.
The team winning 2011 Cricket World Cup would be taking home a prize money of US$ 3 million, but what’s more important as a die heart fan of cricket it’s the coveted trophy, the sheer joy and superior feeling of being a champion nation.
It’s been a great world cup so far every cricket fan and today is day billions of cricket fans have been waiting for. Indian team trying to recreate history by winning the cup after a gap of 28 years. Hey that’s how long I have been on this earth too. India won the world cup just once so far, that was in 1983. The team are till date called the Kapil's Devils. For it was under his captaincy that India won its 1st world cup title ever.
This world cup has its own share of unforgettable moments. Would like to just walk through them again. Few surprise defeats, a couple of giant killing, and many more.
The biggest upset of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 has been the defeat of England by Ireland.
Deadly Malinga (watch out for him today) of Sri Lanka got a hatrick so did Roach from West Indies.
Ireland's Kevin O'Brien made the fastest World Cup Century against England. What a match that one was! Awesome!
India beat Pakistan for the 5th time in a world cup encounter that’s a straight 5-0 record! Can’t just get enough of these Indo-Pak battles can we!
Well I can ramble out many more such memorable moments but I end it all by pointing out to the biggest turning point of WC 2011, the UDRS, how can we forget the Umpire Decision Review System and all its controversies.
So keep watching this blog for many more updates on not just World Cup, but much more. For this is not just about a single match, this blog is all about crazy Cricket!!!!
