Final before the Finals

There's SOMEONE up there WHO wants him to keep going and he is just doing that. The statement brings goose bumps to me and I am sure to all those cricket crazy fans in the country. This was said by Ravi Shastri when Sachin Tendulkar was put down by Shahid Afridi. This was the fourth time the Pakistani team has put down Sachin in a space of about 1 hour. True, there was some divine power that did help to India's cause yesterday to win the Semi Final of the world cup against Pakistan. I have never seen this happen on a cricket field. Sachin was living a charmed life and why not. A person who has played cricket for 21 years and is still having the same feeling and same passion for the game and the country, he truly deserved a blessing. 100 million people were praying for India yesterday and all those prayers were listened. To all the cricket crazy people who believe in the religion of cricket just like me, this is a time for celebration. But, let just keep patience and hold on for one more game. Let India, our team, the men in blue beat Sri-Lanka in the world cup Finals in Mumbai and then we have more reasons to celebrate.

To most yesterday's match was the Final before finals. But, there is nothing bigger than a world cup final victory. It's a great feeling to be witnessing our men in blue in the world cup finals. May GOD and luck be with us for one more time in the Finals. All the very best to Team India.
