I've been gone a while because i have been trying to get work done before the world cup began. I thought i would have to spend a month and a half cheering India. I spent $200 getting the live cricket package to watch on tv. It began with what seeemed the easiest game on the schedule, against Bangladesh. Boy was i wrong.. India was bundled out for 192 and the bowlers looked like they couldnt bowl out my friends in the gullies of pune. Needless to say India lost big, i spent the evening in mourning. Then Pakistan lost to Ireland and my day brightened up. They had made the earliest exit from the World Cup and it was beautiful...
Then came Bermuda, the trashing. Everyone in India found thier lost touch and scored 413. The bowlers still sucked big time. They won by a large margin and improved thier net run rate to where they only had to win against Sri Lanka to qualify for the super eights.
"Only" win against Sri Lanka. What a joke. It was a clinical destruction of the vaunted Indian Batting line up and India was on thier way out of the world cup in the first round, before April even arrived. I felt sick all evening but the events of last week gave me some perspective of handling this game. I think i've learned to handle bad sports performances better.
