Blog Post

First of all hi to all.. I don't remember when I last wrote anything on my blog but today going to write a lot. As so many things coming to mind today. Of course most things will be related to cricket. The IPL finally came to an end. And CSK despite all SRT's heroics, won it. So many things happened in this just one tournament that u can't narrate them all in just one post but would still love to write about all in just this post only.
First will start from tournament first week. It was well known from the start of the tournment the final four sides reached in the tournament will be side to watch out for but stll few have little doubt over MI because the way they have played in last two editions they are always favorites at the start and become under achievers at the end.But this time their captain take the responsibility to take team through and he almost succeedd in that but just fails at the last moment.
MSD did what he used to do, played out of skin in the do-or-die match against Kings X1 and won it single handedly and what happened after that is history. CSK won the IPL in second attempt.
IPL was too surrounded by so many controversies during and after the tournament, as it's popular commissioner Mr. Lalit Modi caught in the midst of so many controversies. Whatever happen, I will hope that IPL will return next year again for the IPL-4 with bang.
Now IPL part is over and I must move to the next part that is T20 WC and here I must say that history repeats itself for Team India at least. Like the WC 2009 Team India arrived in WI with favorite tag, they showed that potential in the match against SA but failed to short pitch stuff, terrible bowling and lazy fielding and in the end crashed out of the WC without winning a super eight match. But I must say one of the semis played become the best match ever played in T20s. It's not because Australia chased down 192 but it was because the way they chased it. I read some wonderful lines written on the cricinfo commentary page and they were just true as far as Australian cricket is concerned. I am copying those lines here as they all were worth reading. "Australianism prevails - : Australianism," wrote Arlott, "means single-minded determination to win - to win within the laws but, if necessary, to the last limit within them. It means where the 'impossible' is within the realm of what the human body can do, there are Australians who believe that they can do it - and who have succeeded often enough to make us wonder if anything is impossible to them. It means they have never lost a match - particularly a Test match - until the last run is scored or their last wicket down." Just read them as they are the greatest motivation for anyone. But Australianism just halted at the final stage. A determined England side led by KP won the final at last and too won their first ever ICC event.
That was for regular cricket update, next will move to some personal stuff as on blog they say you can express yourself not only by writing general things but you can too write personal things. Not too personal though :).
Life is going smooth, moving on a fast lane and have seen lots of up's and down's in last 8 months in smartData. Enjoying working though. I too have extended my social life and used to regularly update myself on social sites like twitter, facebook etc etc. But just don't get time to update the blog. But surely will be updating the same from today onwards regularly and will not only write related to cricket or sports but also related to some technical aspects. But for now, signing off as think have written enough for this post and too it's already 5:00 am in the morning and left with just half an hour in office.
Hope everybody is fit and fine. So till next post keep smiling.
