DEVASTATED!

Yesterday's loss against Sri Lanka has still not gone off my mind. I am still finding it painful to accept that I wont be able to see India in this World Cup again. In fact, I wont be able to see Sachin, Dravid and Ganguly ever in the World Cup probably.
Feeling terribly frustrated and yet have to accept that i cant think of it all the time. Have to accept that WE DIDN'T DESERVE TO WIN YESTERDAY. The way Sri Lanka played was simply awesome. Every single little step in the match seemed to be well planned. The way they fielded, the way they bowled was so heartening to see and yet so impossible to accept because India was batting.

India are to blame themselves more than anything else. With atleast 3 of the top batsmen in form throwing away their wickets at crucial moments in the match. Sachin's dismissal was one heck of a ball from Fernando and he couldnt have done much even though he is SACHIN.

The fate of our team still depends on the match between Bangladesh and Bermuda, but that is hardly a dependency to rely upon! Unless some miracle happens, INDIA IS OUT OF THE WORLD CUP. And sadly this miracle is not in our hands but in someone elses. We would have pulled of a miracle if it was necessary, but unfortunately 23rd March was not the day.

I don't know how much more restless i can get over the defeat and its not about the defeat too...
Its about seeing India with Sachin, Dravid and Ganguly ever again in World Cup!!! :-(

To sum it up i think i can draw 2 conclusions...

1. India is a hopeless team of the best individual talents in the world!

2. We cannot win a match without Sachin. He has to contribute with the bat if Team India has to even think of winning!!

We as a nation are too obsessed with cricket, and hence any capricious performance seems unacceptable to us. Just think of it as a game where the better team wins, and I think thats what you also imply in one of your statements.
Well, the way its going i'll bet on a Aussie-SA final!
