My first cricket article in year 2000

I mentioned some time ago that I had to dig out some of the cricket articles that I wrote were stuck in my old notebook which I can't boot up. It was my first notebook that I bought in year 2000 ( Fujitsu Lifebook). I managed to take out the hard disk and recovered all data but I can't save the notebook though. So this was a match between Australia and  India happened in Nairobi Kenya in 2000.

India Vs Australia 

I was absolutely enthralled by the emphatic win over Aussies at Nairobi on Saturday the 7^th October once again proving the history Right that Indians cannot be beaten on a Festive day. On Saturday, being Dasara in India, Indian players triumphed once again against Aussies which means technically the Green caps has to catch their next flight back home. Ironically, this is true for the second time the first being at Dhaka since the start of the ICC Knock Out tournament.

On Saturday, danger signals came in the form of Sachin Tendulkar as he was in a devastative mood proving a point that given a day he can tear any attack in the world which then perfectly steered up by youngster Yuvaraj to hoist a huge total of 265 runs against the world champions. This gorgeous win has come as a sort of compensation for the bad memories we have had early this year in Australia. Indians had a real tough stint against their umpiring and the media blemishing the images of few Indian players for absurd reasons.

I am not saying all this just because India has won a game today against the world champions. Indian cricket and for that matter the world cricket, is of late surrounded by a thick cloud of match fixing and bribing scandals. But it’s not that everybody does indulge themselves, there are good players indeed who play for their country and who sees the game as their life. We should see to that those players should not be offended by the petty things, for this lovely sport of Cricket won’t be there but for the Genuine players.

If one thing this match is going to teach us all, which is "Every-No-thing is Im-Possible" when you apply yourself, looking at the positive side of the game.

Wishing Indians A Very Good Luck at Nairobi.

Cheers All.
