The Cheer in the Willows- Cricket, sporting glue.. :)

yes, i am writing this more than 2 months after India won the world cup. TWO MONTHS.. im in 12th people... dont judge me!
i never thought it would happen. yes, india had a chance, but thats all it was, A CHANCE.
Cricket has been part and parcel of peoples lives ever since the British imported the Willow into india. way back when they were still ruling. This sport is undeniably the best thing the British brought into the country.our cricketers have become Superstars. Icons, Idols of worship . Beacons of light. you name it.
Not all of them had it good from the beginning. Tendulkar studied only till high school. M S Dhoni himself was a ticket collector in Jharkhand. now they are the most recognised people in India!
Cricket brings together people from all walks of life. Shops stop running, your waiter just made your coffee overflow- Its a SIX!
a bunch of people got together at my place for the final. people i havent met in a long time. and when Dhoni it that six, we just went crazy screaming shouting, hugs, horns and whistles.
The world cup got my friends who dont even know the spelling of cricket- maybe not literally, but i havent asked them to spell it .. maybe because i would murder them brutally if they spelt it KRIKIT- to sit and watch a 50 over game- comepletely. for 6 hours solid. luckily my tuitions were cancelled too. (the power of cricket for you! ) it makes mankind drop whatever they are doing , just to see 11 men play. its Amazing.
Dhoni is a Midas. under him ,
india has won the T20 World cup
ICC world cup
india is the number 1 test side.
Chennai Super kings won 2 IPLs and a Champions League.
i hope he continues to turn things to gold. :)
Go India! BLEED BLUE!
I love cricket. simply because it brings the world together.
Amen.
