Ton or Not, its India all the way.........

Over 32k intl runs vs over 1.3k intl wickets.......99 tons vs 77 5-fors........very difficult to choose from. But the one that looks little unfairly eluded the former is a WC crown....Am very sure if there is ANYONE out there who balances things, then its gonna be baba’s all the way. And it is dil-logical.
Appears like a dream one, and the run has been awesome and scripted to perfection. A WC finale, Mumbai and wankhede , isn’t it a fitting adieu that cricket can ever bid to arguably the best ever to don the whites or the blues.....
If I were anyone else including the SL captain, i would certainly not mind trading anything for this one. All the claims, zinx over the host not being crowned the camp ( btw, SL was a co-host in 1996 edition) has been put to rest since this time it has to be one of the hosts that would kiss the crown.
Rightly said by them- greatness never ages. Never ever thought baba would play this edition of the WC. From the curly teenager in 1989 to the more than matured that he is now, from shy and ardent disciple to a would-do-anything-to-get-this-mentor type now, from belting Qadir to take this off Lee, age has been made to look like a mere number. I don;t have any trace of doubt in my mind that this is the opportunity that MIB has ever had to give a perfect 10 to the best student of the game.
Agree- there is still a match to be won. agree,-its a game of glorious uncertainties, agree-nothing can be said unless the last ball is bowled, agree-most hope for the best team to win, agree- the other team that’s vying for similar glory is equally geared up and also agree that even the lankan tigers would not mind so much to wait at least until 2014 for their 2nd crown. And I just hope and pray for this to happen.
Modern days sports are extremely cruel on a human body. For this little great one, to remain enviably fit at this age and that after having to get almost all his bone joints treated and to stay extremely calm and balanced speak volumes about the persona. For those who still believe that he is just little over 5 and a half foot tall, baba has made them count his shadows when he walks. Jai ho.........
