India + Cricket...
don't seem to have gotten along too well lately. Really, what is there to say? India's overall performance has been nothing aside from pathetic.
Take the India vs. Bangladesh game. Three of Bangladesh' players passed 50. In the end, Bangladesh beat India by five wickets. FIVE! In the past, Bangladesh had beaten India only once out of fourteen meetings. That makes this loss for India even worse.
Of course, India did beat Bermuda by 257 runs after the game versus Bangladesh, which was necessary if they wanted to avoid an incredibly embarrassing 'first round exit' from the tournament [ahem...Pakistan].
But hey, it wouldn't have mattered much because now, India is out of the World Cup after their pathetic loss to Sri Lanka today, who beat India by 69 runs. It was dreadful, sitting through that game and watching it. So many times I wanted to pull myself away from the screen, but kept coming back in hopes of a miracle turn-around.
Of course, this World Cup has turned up with many surprises, including the shocking death of Pakistani coach Bob Woolmer. After Ireland unexpectedly defeated Pakistan [I don't think I saw that coming], Woolmer was found lying on the floor of his hotel room unconscious. It seems it is unclear exactly how he died, but murder was a possibility.
The only chance India has now of getting back into the World Cup is if Bermuda beats Bangladesh. Now I'm not going to comment on that beyond this: Bangladesh murdered India last week. India murdered Bermuda. Now, sure, I can't quite apply the transitive property in a case such as this, and making these statements may not be a strong indicator of how things will go between Bangladesh and Bermuda, but at this point, I don't feel very optimistic.
Well, I suppose we'll all just wait and see...
