Bleed Blue!

INDIA WON THE CRICKET WORLD UP 2011!!

I am not an ardent cricket fan but there was just something about this World Cup that got me glued to the television.
The fact the India made it to the quarter finals. Played against Australia and won!
Heading into the semifinals, against Pakistan. One helluva match that!
And today, against Sri Lanka. What a match!
India started off with great bowling and fielding, limited Sri Lanka's score very well. Their batting started with some major disappointments (read: Sehwag out on 2nd ball and Sachin followed soon!) but Gambhir and Kolhi took charge and led India forward, follwede by Dhoni and Yuvraj. The six in the end was just the perfect finish!
India has improved from match to match through the tournament.. And to finally see the cup in Dhonis hands was a moment of sheer joy! Everyone dedicated the win to Sachin, which was a very warm gesture.
All in all, great cricket , great win.
GO INDIA!!
