A Very Different World Cup

Yes as the title suggests this is very different world cup according to me after a long time, not because Australia didnt dominate it,thats because no single team dominated it and till the last six from Dhoni it was not sure who will lift the coveted trophy.

Now comes the real and interesting fact that made this world cup so interesting that all age match people all over the world have enjoyed it . At first it started with the big innings from Sehwag which against the team which the current world champions lost in last world cup and exited in the first round. That was a clear message to the whole world that India and Sehwag will never be silent in this world cup.

Here are the some moments which made this world cup very interesting:

i) As expected there was some upsets in this world cup also,when Ireland who were down 5 wickets for 100 odd runs chasing a big target who would have thought a red headed man Kevin’O Brian all rounder will break the record of fastest century in world cup and will produce the first upset in this world cup against a team who have won an Ashes Series just three months back in the toughest backyards .

ii) According the TV ratings the most interesting and exciting ODI match ever played INDIA vs ENGLAND tie was the next in the list where there was everything in the match which led both team to think whether to cheer or cry.

iii) Then yet another time england made to the list as many suggested that England are the most exciting team in this world cup. They denied South Africa a win chasing 171 in a slow turning track in Chennai.

iv) Here comes the big one and the main part of this world cup. The team which won hattrick of world cups by clear domination who were playing with the 34 matches unbeaten streak lost to Pakistan.This showed that their dominance in world cup is going to get over and probably their dominance in world cricket is going to end.

v) Then as New Zealand is always expected to be good in big stages they proved it once more in this world cup beating the Big Pakistan who were one of the strong contenders

where Birthday Boy Ross Taylor produced one of his life’s best innings tearing apart rawalpindi express all through the ground.

vi) This point should not be different as this was expected sometime to happen.

South Africa will choke sometime in the tournament. And they did it against New Zealand. They were chasing a modest target in turning and slow pitch and as history says South africa never won a knock out match in the world cups it repeats.

vii) This might be biggest turn around in this world cup and most different part of this world cup as australia crashing out of the world cup in quarter finals. As many people in this generation would not have seen a world cup final without Australian team. This was done by none other than Team that are the current champions India.

This all shows this was very different world cup.This world cup will be in many people hearts as this was Sachin Tendulkar last world cup and his childhood dream of winning the world cup is achieved by him. And the jinx of Host team not winning the world cup is broken by India.This World Cup had everything in it…………………
