Sri Lanka Just Lucky To win the T20 world cup

Have you ever seen the lady luck smiling more on anybody than the Sri lanka cricket team? The team that should gave been out in first round itself and should never ever have made the semifinals of world T20 has managed to somehow win the world cup. Even in the final they got lucky as India's best striker of cricket ball wasn't in good form on that day.

Let us see why sri lanka is the most undeserving winner of ICC world T 20. First of all their side is completely imbalanced. The team lacks quality and even few club level cricket teams have more talent than these bunch of egoistic cricketers from small emerald island. The sri lanka cricket fans are bad loosers, a fact well known to everybody. They shout a lot even when they should be quiet because their bowlers have iffy actions while delivering the ball giving them unfair advantage over other teams. In fact if one say that it is 'cheating' he would be the most correct cricket lover ever.

Sri lankan batting is all about slogging. Most batsmen don't know how to hold the bat. Most of them hold it upside down. The worst thing about sri lanka playing cricket is over appealing by their cricketers. Most of them play for money as it is clear from day to day fight between cricket association of sri lanka and its cricket board. There have been news coming from sri lankan news paper agencies that mahela jayawardene and kumar sangakkara wouldn't have played world cup final if the Sri Lanka cricket board not promised a huge sum of money as a prize. Apart from that the sri lankan batsmen are known to play for personal records rather than the team as it is clear from number of double hundreds and triple hundreds scored on flattest cricket pitches in the world. Mahela and Sangakkara who shiver seeing the sight of medium pacer scores almost all of their runs on slow low and flat wickets of Colombo.

Everyone had tear in their eyes when final match of ICC world T20 was over and highlight of the match was the disappointment among the true cricketers who knew that it was not Sri Lanka but their opponents (India) who were the deserving winners of the tournament.

ICC should also take serious action on how the senior sri lankan cricketers make expressions when umpires don't make decision that suits Sri Lanka. World cricket can't affort sri lanlka cricketers insulting umpires in front of audience who have come to watch the cricket match live in stadiums.

India will win ICC T 20 World Cup 2014

I know that this T20 cricket is a mercurial form of cricket. And I am not an astrologer too. Yet I have been following this game ever since I was born. So here is my prediction - India will win ICC T20 2014 and will not loose any match.


T 20 World Cup, Yuvraj Singh India
Much criticized Yuvraj Singh will hit the winning six
for India.

I am pretty sure that other teams are already dispirited watching India play in this ruthless and commanding manner. While others living in a dreamworld of their own dreaming about how good their batsmen and bowlers are, it is reality for India. Indian bowlers are best in the tournament, never mind what the critics have to say. India have comprehensively beaten the much talked about Pakistan and West Indies, and that too by out-bowling them.

Some of the comments that people born to be critical of India's performance are really funny:

Indian Slog Over's  Bowling is Weak - Really? On what basis? I saw even the much higher rated Australian, South African, and Pakistan bowlers serving waist high full tosses. And it is not that Indian bowlers are not trying it. Actually the batsmen have become smarter and they convert full yorkers into full tosses and smack them for sixes. Batsmen are not servants or slaves of bowlers that they will remain stagnant at one place when the bowlers delivers the ball. It's high time the critics stop making such useless statements. It will help reduce the number of people making joke of them.

Indian Batsmen Are in Hurry - Really? So you want them to emulate that strategy suggested by Sunil Gavaskar. The strategy is to give first couple of hours to the bowlers. Listen critics, if you do that then all 20 overs would have been bowled in that time and there would be nothing left other than to scratch the pole and looking at the poster of Gavaskar. In T 20 cricket you must always look for runs, and doesn't matter if it looks cultured or not.

Indian Batsmen don't drag the bats - Not true at all. This Indian team has better athletes than any Indian team of past. Those who are making such statements must look at the highlights of their playing days. That will make it clear to them how ordinary they were when it comes to running between the wickets.

Oh! It seems I am getting bit out of context as far as topic is concerned. Actually the critics is so critical of Indian cricket that as a true fan of Indian cricket I always like to take them (critics) on and smash them out of park, just as Yuvraj Singh smashes the cricket ball out of stadium.

Now coming to Yuvraj Singh, the strongest man in India (when it comes to character), leave him alone critics. He is a proven match winner and doesn't need any of your advise. Please learn to respect the men who bring glory to the country otherwise there is someone up there in heaven who will seal your fate.
