Orange is gone

Sanity has been restored! Pakistan have beaten Netherlands comprehensibly to grab a spot in the Super Eights. 

The bright orange gear clad bunch of amateur cricketers are going back to what they do best - their 9-5 jobs.
They may be gone but my heart thanks them for having given me a wonderful day of cricket.

The way they felled the indifferent English cricket team is sure to become a folklore.

Hope they bring more joyous moments like this in futuire tournaments.

Cheers,
Rosh

Hurray for Holland!

The Mighty has been felled!

And with that the Dutch team, having won their first match in the 2009 T20 World Cup, has signaled that they need to be taken more seriously in this ridiculously short format of the gentleman’s game.

What a contrast the two competing sides made. One displayed an array of shambolic performances on field while the other egged on by surprise, cheer and self-belief held their nerves to scamper through for the victory.

One a team of highly paid, overrated professionals while the other a team of part-timers, taking time-off from the respective 9-5 jobs to participate in this event.

In the unlikely scenario of Holland proceeding to the next level, it will further drain the pockets of this team of enthusiasts. I sincerely hope that this triumph of theirs attract more sponsors to Dutch Cricket.

Hurray once again!
