Hello! It has been more than a month since i blogged..well..i juz wanted to say a few things abt the ICC Cricket World Cup that has juz been over..

FIRST OF ALL, MY HEARTY CONGRATULATIONS TO THE UNBEATABLE AUSTRALIAN TEAM FOR WINNING THE WORLD CUP!!!!!

well..recently, i have got crazy over cricket...n i have been supporting the Australian Cricket team led by Captain Ricky Ponting.Although Indian team was out of the world cup right at the first round, i was still interested in watching the world cup...Really, the australian team seems unbeatable...so far, in the last three world cups, that is; 1999, 2003 and 2007, Australia has lost 0 matches if i m not wrong..what a strong team mann! i was really inspired by this team..what a great amount of effort they should have put in to stand where they are today! n i guess being a captain of a team of 11 people or more and training them in the right direction is a very tough job..i shd say Ricky Ponting has been doing his job very diligently to bring his team to such a standard..yet, he was so humble when he was interviewed at the closing ceremony..he said that the individual members of the australian cricket team had been challenging themselves with higher goals and improving themselves..i guess the past 2 captains of this team have been very efficient in leading the team...this includes Ponting as well as Steve Vaugh..

well..i have become an ardent Fan of Ricky Ponting...haha..my sis too! she says he looks very keeewt! haha..true enough..i feel so empty after the world cup's ending..i liked the feeling of the world cup fever..well..may be that was why i developed fever last week..haha..lame me..

oh..a few more things abt some other players of the Australian Team...Glenn McGrath ended his One-Day-International (ODI) career day before yesterday..he gained the title "player of the tournament"..i think he took 25 wickets in 10 innings or something like that..the team shd indeed be proud of his talent...what a great player!

heard a few nice stuff about Adam Gilchrist from dad...dad told me Gilchrist donated some amount of money to a few orphanages in Calcutta, India..dad said he is a nice human being..haha..i was pleased to hear that...oh..and gilchrist was the "Man of the match" for the finals held on Saturday against Sri Lanka...woow! fantastic playing..all the batsmen struggled to reach at least 40 runs, including Hayden, Ponting, Symonds and Clarke...but Gilchrist scored 149 Runs in 70+ balls or something lidat..great mann! wonder how he did it...Sri Lankan Captain, Jayawardene said that his team was trying very hard to keep up with the Australian team but in the end, was helpless...well..Sri lankans put up a tough fight as well..i shd say their standard of playing was very good...

Anyway...enjoyed myself watching the world cup...i had a great time..i really miss watching it, staying awake late at night and doing something other than studying... had a good break n time to get back to serious business now..but i have got an extra wish added to my wish list...i wanna meet Gilchrist and Ponting..i wanna congratulate them for the reward they have gotten as a result of their hard work..the australian team has won the world cup consecutively for the third time..it was ponting's 4th world cup that he was participating in...the team will remain as a legend forever in the history of Cricket..

Waiting Eagerly for World Cup 2011!! (looooong way to go)
BYEE!
