ICC World Cup 2011: Real World Cup begins for India
Image via Wikipedia
The Indian cricket team laboured its way to a facile victory over the Netherlands at the Ferozeshah Kotla on the 9th of March, 2011. It was Ash Wednesday; the men in blue seemed to be aware of this.Indian fans had little to celebrate.
Though a quarter-final spot is now virtually assured, question-marks about India’s bowling attack persist.
It was expected that the pitches in this World Cup, especially the ones at home, would be batsman-friendly. That the very same dead pitches would draw the fangs of the Indian bowlers and render them venomless, even toothless, was probably not factored in by the Indian think-tank.
Indian win over the Netherlands does not sate

Somdev Devvarman’s brave fight in vain: India lose 1-4 to Serbia

If there were any doubts that Somdev Devvarman is the rightful inheritor to Leander Paes’ mantle in the Davis Cup , they were put to rest by his stellar display at Novi Sad against defending champions Serbia.
Novak Djokovic—the World No.3 and architect of the successful Serbian title run last year—opted out of the first round tie. India were hit hard by Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi’s withdrawals due to injuries. The doubles point was considered to be in the bag with the duo around.

The West Indies throw out the Bangladeshi script to World Cup glory
The West Indians thrashed the Bangladeshis on Friday, the 4th of February, 2011, scuttling them for a paltry 58.
The Windies romped home for the loss of just one wicket. This was a crucial encounter for the Bengali side. It will be an uphill task for the co-hosts to make the quarter-finals now.
Kemar Roach picked up his second man-of-the-match award in this tournament for his three wickets for 19 runs off six overs.

ICC World Cup 2011: Irish Luck and DRS howlers
MS Dhoni bowled a bouncer at the ICC: Image via Wikipedia
The Irish rode their luck—the other night—to throw a spanner in England’s attempt to progress to the quarter-finals.
Kevin , the other O’Brien—younger brother to Niall who rang the curtain call on Pakistan’s exit in the 2007 World Cup—hit the fastest World Cup century ever off just 50 balls.
He was cool, calm and collected. He was to the manor born.
If there was any doubt that talent exists in the lower echelons of the ICC, Kevin O’Brien and Ryan ten Doeschate blew those vacillations to smithereens.
IPL barons, take note.
Be Afridi, be very Shahid Afridi
