Whitewash!


My blog is slowly resembling a cricket website - with more and more posts written about cricket. It reveals two things - one is my passion for the game (albeit my own skills are laughable at the very best); and two is the amazing turn of events on the field that seem to happen rather frequently.

New Zealand outclassed Australia for the third game in a row and successfully chased down 300+ scores in two consequetive matches to clinch the Chappel-Hadlee trophy 3-0. Australians are defeated, foxed, stunned, beaten, decimated, destroyed - you add adjectives and the list goes on and on. This amazing performance by the Kiwis makes one trust the instincts - nothing is permanent but change. The Australians might as well make a comeback and win the World Cup - but it will take some time to forget this royal thrashing!

That is right!!! I feel I am getting cricket updates.

The kiwis beating Aussies also reveals another thing... that Indians will have to sweat it out in all matches. There will be no sitting back and telling, yeh to ho hi jayega.

Going to be an interesting World Cup this time.
Whether the Aussies win the cup or not, I hope they have learnt a lesson and will keep their egos at bay.
