With not more than a year to go for the tourney to start, SRT has kicked off the count down to the 2011 Cricket World Cup Tamasha! With the sustained growth of the 20-20 hype, the never ending IPL drama, the security concerns of playing the sub continent, the continuous 'retirement' of big stars, the WC needed a bloody special 200* to launch the campaign..
Ladies and gentlemen, 2011 is going to be the best ever WC... We will surely see many totals of over 400, atleast a few double centuries (now that the floodgates have opened), some fantastic spells from quite a few brave bowlers, and some young Turks making marks in the game. Its gonna be one super tamasha.... Bollywood Tamasha at its best.. For all those who have enjoyed the ODI growth and excitment of the 80s and 90s will surely want this tournament to seal the arguement that 50-50 is not passe! Admit it guys... each one of you have enjoyed some of the great innings played by SRT, Ponting, Afridi, Dhoni, Jayasuriya, Gibbs, KP, which just cannot be completely replicated by the 20-20 circus.... In anycase 20-20 gets over just too fast and its like a crazy shoot out which some love, sometimes! The 2011 WC Tamasha is going to close the debate once and for all.... and show us all that there is place for all 3 formats...
Its all very exciting and am looking forward to creating a special journey in the build up to the 2011 WC. Lets see how long I am able to keep the momentum in writing this blog.. my 1st ever attempt in writing... so no great hopes here...
While this journey starts today, am going to be praying everyday from today that on April 2, 2011 Sachin is there to lift the cup in Mumbai to bring alive every Indian's dream ever since 1983....
Game on, guys.........
