Epic Match India defeated Super Power Australia

Another Epic match in the World Cup 2011, I thought I wont be blogging for many world cup matches but looking at the way this battle has been fought its impossible to keep my self away from blogging. India defeated 4 times world champions and defeated the team which won the world cup 3 consecutive times! India has once again successfully stopped the Aussies from their juggernaut roar, it was India who stopped their consecutive Test matches victories and defeated them 2/1 in an Epic series which halted the Australian Team, India was India who defeated them in the CB series and it was the first time they were defeated 2/0, usually Australia white washes their opponents 2/0 and they have never been out of the CB series white washed! Is Australia destined to ends its magical run in the hands of India? may be, that is the reason why India managed to knock out the Australians out of the world cup in the quarter finals itself, this is an epic victory in very sense, this was the first world cup where Brett Lee faced a world cup defeat every since her successful campaign in 1999, before this defeat Australia was defeated only once in the past 3 World Cup matches that was back in 1999 against Pakistan, but they went on to trash them in finals, after that they have picked every subcontinent team in the finals and made in a no contest. That is the command they had over other teams in the world cup. No cricket team has dominated world cricket such as the Australians, India has marked the end of an Australian era, the most dominant era till date.

Congrats to the Ahamadabad Crowed, though we have lost many matches there, this time the venue was in favor of India, kudos to them for roaring throughout the match.

My first memory of dominance was Sri Lanka when the defeated every team after winning the world cup in 1996 but it was only for a couple of years, earlier it was said the West Indies during the 70's until India won its world cup back in 83 was the most dominant team ever. After 27 years it was India again which marked end of an era, though Australians winning aura was diminished even before they entered the world cup they where on a winning streak until they got defeated by Pakistan in the previous match, but it is India who proved the world the Australians can be defeated when they were defeated in their home ground the whole world stood up and believed that Australians winning aura is over, though their dominance was brought to end still they were good enough to win matches but the only difference was it was very difficult for them to white wash their opponents 5/0 or 7/0. I always felt that the Australians were still the favorites to win the world cup because inspite of the legends such as McGrath, Shane Warne, Mathew Hayden they still have the potential to defeat any opponents with solid pace attack from Brett Lee, Shawn Tait and Mitchell Johnson but I guess they dint believe in them self instead they bought others thought over their confidence, whatever it may be, yesterday's match is an epic win, its history, one of the best fought world cup matches and when the history of world cup is noted this match cannot be ignored.

Yuvraj Singh's dream run in the world cup continues, Ajay Jadeja during his analysis said the if India has to win the world cup then we need Yuvi to be in full form until now things are going according to his analysis and hopefully we will continue in the same way. Yuvraj a few months back had said that he had thought of quitting cricket since he was not picked up for the squad I said to myself it would have done a world of good for the team..lol because that is the kind of form he was in, he was terrible in every department he once excelled, Yuvi is a complete cricketer and he is proving that to the whole world that though he is a "pie chucker" he can cause damage with his bowling abilities. This is his 4th Man of Match award in the world cup and he is the top contender for Man of the Series, that will be sweet only if India wins the world cup.

Then comes the God, Sachin Tendulkar who looked in sublime form made a flute 53, everyone was waiting to see his century among century, Not because he was in 80s or 90s but now the world waits for him to score a century every time he crosses 40 Runs, yes that is the kind of form the little master is in at present. Andrew Flintoff tweeted "has Sachin got better" I don't think so because Sachin Tendulkar is a complete product, there is no need for up-gradation, he is beyond anyone. This is the best chance for Sachin Tendulkar to fulfill his dream of winning a world cup, We have entered the Semi Finals of a world cup after 15 Years and once again when it happens in India! The Best Chance to snatch the Cup, We need just 2 Wins to life the cup and glorify Tendulkar's biography

Ricky Pointing for the first time in his carrier will be watching the world cup in his home! yes that is because ever since his first world cup appearance in 1996 Ricky Pointing was always in he field during the Finals, they had lost in the 1996 World Cup in Lahore but came back strongly in 1999 under Steve Waugh's magnificent captaincy from there on it was Pointing's leadership which helped them to conquer the World Cup in South Africa and West Indies in 2003 and 2007. He is the most successful World Cup player ever, being part of 3 World Champion teams and leading the team twice, no one holds that record and it is next to impossible for anyone to replicate that. This match marks an end to Pointing's world cup carrier. He is the most successful World Cup captain with just 2 defeats in 4 World Cups!

India by defeating the former world champions has proved that we are world beaters, now we are just 2 games away from lifting the world cup, 2 games from great glory, dream, passion and every emotion that a cricketer has in himself, we are just 2 games away, every Indian is aware of that and The India knows that better. This is the best chance we ever have, this is the best chance because there is no team which has domination over the game one, 2. We are playing in our home, 3. We just helped the team which dominated world cricket for 11 years to pack their bags home, and we are closer than the previous edition of this millennium

Up Next is the ultimate battle, a game that will be watched and discussed more than the World Cup itself, its India Vs Pakistan, I don't want to say anything about this now, let the games begin
