Some lighter moments of Twenty20

"Pappa, poora match dekhne do naa aaj!!" (from 9.30 pm to 1 am or so!). This was the line from my elder son and the occasion was India-England T20 match! He was very much concerned about India that day! Although, being his 'Half Yearly' these days in school, I said, "Theek hai!". When England were playing their last overs, he said (being irritated), "England ko to harna hai, yeh hamein bhi marwaegi" "Why?" "NRR (Net Run Rate) ki problem ho jayegi India ko agle match mein!". I said "leave it yaar! aaj jeetne to de, baad ki baad mein dekhenge!"

Now, India-South Africa!! Being allowed to watch the full match again, my son asked, "Pappa, Yuvraj chhai (6) chhakke maar sakta hai?" (after he hit 4 sixes) "Sure, he will" and that's it! I wished two more things in that match 1) Rohit Sharma's Half-Century and 2) One good over from Joginder Sharma. One was fulfilled in the last over of Indian batting but not the other one:o I wanted this because both of them are newcomers and these wishes will highly motivate them. "Pappa, mae chahta hoon ke India-Pakistan ka final ho, aapko kya lagta hai??" "Hoga yaar, chinta matt kar".

Actually, my son is so much apprehensive during the matches that I have to support him every now and then (and sometimes - khamkhah)! (My 'this' son - who is wholeheartedly with Indian team and knows all the records etc. of cricket - is barely 16 years and in 11th std.)

Again, here's the mini-judgement day - India-Australia match. Whole of my family is watching! He asked me after 5 overs of Indian batting, "Aap ko kya lagta hai - India ke 150 ban jayenge?" My innerself said, "170 bete, chinta matt kar". While Australians started batting, I said "Lakshay, mujhe Australians last over mein 'struggle' karte dikh rahe hain!" (only to support my son and be himself 'tension' free!). "Pappa suno - Gilchrist aur Hassy bahut khatarnak player hain inke, hamare bowlers ko 'dho' ke rakh denge". I simply said, ''Dhone ke liye to 'Dhoni' hai - Gilchrist ki 'Gilli-Danda' bana denge arr 'Hansi tae Phansi'!! Again, "Inka to 'Brett Lee' bhi batting kar leta hai"! "Tension hai kya bete????"

Now - after the match was over - both of my sons (the other one is 11 years!) are trying to whistle, while one finger and the thumb in their mouths:D But haven't succeeded:( Why did they tried so?? Hey-Hey!! Just because I whistled it the same way!!!!!!!!!!:)

Yesterday, Mr. Lakshay again asked me, "Pappa, kal office jaaoge?" "Haan! Kyon?" "Kal 5 baje shuru hoga final aur waise bhi kal koi bhi office nahin jayegaa final ke chakkar mein" "Toh" "Aap bhi kal office matt jao naa!!!!!" "!!??????!!" "OK, Done bete" "Waise aap ko kya lagta hai - kal India jeet jayegi???" "Arrey, jitti padi hai - chinta manna karae!!!!"

Chak De India!!

Dhoni mader a history....
n it was very intersting match... thrilling.....

rst superman Shail will come with the heart capturing details....:)
 
We are the champions

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end -
We are the champions -
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world
 
We Are World Champs!!!

....That's it! Six runs had been needed from four balls!...and they could not do it! The Paki's were made to choke on the last over! We got them ALL OUT!!! :eek:
(This should once and for all wipe the slate clean from the infamous six by the Paki's Javed Miandad on the last ball on Chetan Chauhan's bowling in Sharjah!) The Paki's choke again against India on a world format and when it counts the most! We are still the BETTER Team in the crunch ones against them!


Take a BOW, people! Take a bow!!!....We are the new Twenty20 Champs! The champions of a Historc first World Tourney in the Twenty20 style (and it is here to stay people, mark my words!) :D:D:D
So now we can boast of being the first ever on a Historic one, and like HOW! Beating everyone and then some...
...MS Dhoni can stand there right next to Kapil Dev on bringing a World Cup home!!!....

Dhoni and his boys kept their nerves! Oh my heart has to still stop thumping!!!

I wish I could change the title of this thread and instead of "Twenty20 Wrold Cup is on".....say "India are the Twenty20 World Cup Champs!"


Hey People, thanks to all of you who have been visiting this thread, posting their personal encouraging words, thoughts, discussions and simply keeping it live and real!!! ...and of course We shall continue the talks in days to come I am sure.... :)(but for now I need to go get some cold water to drink!!!).....
 
Well played!!

We watched the match sitting in the hotel lounge at High Street Kensington, an amazing site...all the indian and pakistani employees, all indian and pakistani guests...and some english cricket lovers....glued to the screen...and everyone else wondering whats the big deal!!

And the deal was PRETTY BIG!! At one point I almost thought that the poor lads are not going to have it (with all the sixes from the pakistani tailenders)...but then they did it...exceptional game and exceptional nerves....congratulations to all indian cricket fans and players.....

wonder where the oldies were when the young guns were blazin...:)
 
Of course I need to bring you some exciting pictures to top off a the great news of India beating Pakistan in the World Twenty20 final by five runs (to clinch their first major trophy since 1983!) Yaaaaaaah INDIA!

CHAK DE INDIA!!! (sorry Jit, but man...it applies here too bro!) :)

Imagine! To think that at one point we were really up against it when their main strike bolwer Umar Gul (3-28) completely restricted us to a hardly a fightable total of 157-5 in our alloted 20 overs, (in which of course needs to be said that the cool opener Gautam Gambhir's 75 well and truly dominated! Love the lad, he is one to stay around forever!)...

But man, then the amazingly resurgent India (after truly and well having beaten England, South-Africa and Australia) and a real intense RP Singh struck twice real early on and also (Man of this unbelieveable Final Match) Irfan Pathan took some key 3 wickets (giving away just 16 runs in his alloted four overs); as a succession of Pakistanis lost their nerves and then their wickets!!!... :D

But then again I was nearly having difficulty breathing freely when this Paki dude Misbah-ul-Haq (43) rallied with three sixes off one Harbhajan Singh over (the 17th one!) and then added another six in the dying moments of the final over when they needed just a platry 12 runs from the last six balls (this being the last and 20th over!), making the equation just six runs needed off the last four balls (also this was the last batsmen jodi in there)!!!... :o

But THEN HOLD on!!!........................... :eek:

...The Dude decides to go for another big one (looking for a six and trying to finish it off A la Miandad style) heaving it to fine leg where Shreesanth takes a superb key catch! [Thus falling to Joginder Sharma (oh what a superb dude to be balling the last over just like against Australia; is this new team a revelation or what!!?!!)] to end an absolutely tickler of an amazing game, and (the now going crazy) Indian team the well and truly deserving Champions for having played the way they did through out the tourney!!!... ;):D:rolleyes:

So anyways, people that is your friendly neighborhood (dang! That's Spiderman again) and 'out-of-breath' Shail reporting in! :cool:
Don't leave without first Checking these pictures... They say it all!!! :)

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

What a GANG!
Proud players with killing spirit !
These Indians were just ready to kill others!

They were holding Ak-47s (not bats) they were throwing hand granades (not cricket ball)
They had a body language of a soldier (not cricket player)
