ho hah india???

cricket.....in india a religion...the team india...an icon....the members.....demigods. no where in the world we find such adulation and adimiration. we boast about having the best talent pool in the world of cricket. sachin..the master blaster, dravid ...the wall..the list goes on......every time team india enters the ground, a nation of 1 billion people awaits in bated breath...praying for their win. we are forever fervently hoping that they weave their magic on the field and trounce the opposition. they do trounce the opposition.....we indeed did win some spectacular matches......
the current going icc championship trophy is a story which is better forgotten...considered as a warm up session before the world cup....we couldn't make it to the semifinals....blame it on whatever reasons...a number of star players not in their in their form, some injured....we still did not perform upto the expectations.... we bundled out of the game way too early and in a not so elegant fashion...
while we huffed and puffed to victory in the first match.....we lost in the second one. the do or die match against australia saw us play like novices....the instinct...the urge to trash the opposition which was so much in evidence in the australians...was sadly missing in us...we had in fact some major edge against them...we had the advantage of playing in home ground....a billion people rooting for our victory....the australians were also under equal pressure to perform.....yet we bungled....we had a chance to challenge their might...and we lost it....like a silver lining we did see some brilliant performances from our men in blue...but that was not enough to smoke out the aussies...
no use pondering over spilled milk...with the country rooting " ho hah india" lets hope that this would waken up our men in blue to the ardous task they have to do if they want to lift the world cup this time....coz.....we have it in us to do it....else one would have no choice than to wonder
ho hah india???
