It was just last year that we had seen an EPIDEMIC called FIFA World Cup… But 2011 is witnessing something very explicit… very extravagant… the frenzy that’s infecting all… ICC CWC 2011… being held in the Indian Sub-continent… And the last two matches played n WON by INDIA have added to the severity of this infection… In India… CRICKET by far is the most superior religion ever seen on Earth… The players are treated as God and the God is the ultimate end stop for all the prayers related… The way people pray for the results to be good for anything is nothing compared to what everyone prays when it’s INDIA in the field… Right from the 7 year old to 70 years old, everyone is glued to the television sets when there’s a match played… Everyone’s more concerned about the wickets then their health … Sleep, Hunger… nothing…n literally nothing can come in way between cricket… And in the last two matches… The Atmosphere… The Pressure… nerve wrecking… 1 st match… INDIA vs AUSTRALIA… everyone just
