Frenzy made Flesh

What a match! Thank God! Man this was ………..! It was difficult to define the hysteria today.

There is this cliché about somebody losing and the other winning the game but today’s match was just above all that. I hope I am not exaggerating, considering the fact that I am an ardent cricket fan.

It grabbed eyeballs, with all the inherent drama and emotion. In spite of the fact, that room at the top was only for one, nobody was ready to blink till the last ball.

94 by Sachin (well, these were as good as a century), Ganguly’s 53 and not to forget Uthappa’s brilliant contribution in the end. Man that lad is just 21. The composure in a situation where anxiety was all over the place, was indeed impeccable.

Well we definitely won, but we just cant ignore the effort made by England to reach up to that mammoth score of 316 after some early fallouts.

Well Dravid’s decision of giving the last over to Yuvraj Singh is being criticised even by kids. Well no answer for that, but he said that the fast bowlers were also going for too many runs.

Whatever critical analysis people do, technically or whatever, it was an absolute treat to watch this one. As one of my friends said, “Man it was something like, I didn’t want to move from the same position that I was sitting in lest something bad happened”. That kind of thing.

It was frenzy made flesh today in the form of this one as we wait eagerly for Lords!
