Ooh Aah Indiaah !!!

India versus Australia match in cricket always creates a stir, no its not b'coz they are rivals or rather trying to beat each other in the race to be number one. Its b'coz Australia is already number one, period. But they ain't unbeatable.

Cricket being India's most followed n 'hence' most loved game, the intention always remains to be number one and for that matter u've to beat the existing one. But beating the number one team once or twice never makes u numero uno. It takes something more than that. What? It's consistency, which of course India has shown but in losing the ones those matter. Sachin Tendulkar arguably the most talented and best in the game, enjoying almost a Demi-God status, but what do u do with a demi-god who can't make ur wishes come true.

No, this is not written to de-moralize the Indian team, but to let them know that inconsistency in success is tolerable but consistency in failure is a definite sign of doom.

Well, being part of the Billionare brigade blue or red or green, colour doesn't matter, win does. I can only pray and say "Ooh Aah India, Aa yaa India". Gheun Taak.
