A Fairy tale finish to an era!!

I have received many complaints of late my posts always tend to b in either sportin lane or either its purely entertainment oriented.. well sports happen to b my biggest passion but i am hatin d city i am livin now bcoz i cant evn watch ne highlight of d ashes whic i longed to c so much.. whn does dis city revive frm dis curse.. wel in d second edition of my bloggin tats now i hav reduced d no of sportin posts compared to other stuff.. but during moments of history lyk today i cant resist bloggin it.. 2 big reasons.. Aussies completely thrashin england to make history repeat itself after 86 yrs.. wow wat a team this is..





i dont think we wil get to c a more clinically professional team in decades to come..tat too after Wc most of d big stars wil b retiring!! kudos to Kangaroos who has always been my fav team evr since they won d 1999 WC!! stop them if u can in d WC!! if they wer to be beaten in d WC i am sure it can only b in semifinals (for Aussies hav brilliant record in finals than ne other team)!!

Second reason .. its an End of an era.. The big shots u hav spear headed d aussie attack for a very long time are hanging up their boots.. Shane Warne n Glenn Mcgrath.. I hav a guilty conscience coz i nver get to witness d legendary west indian fast bowlers like garners n pattersons n holdings.. but i am happy tat i hav enjoyed d bowling feast of these two bowlers... who not only hav been consistent but can devastate any kind of battin lineup..both maintainin xcellent fitness thru out their career.. its a pity v can only view their videos again.. But these iconic bowlers wil b remembered forever am happy tat their careers got a fabulous finish.. unlike steve waugh whose last test match was spoiled by d indians.. hopefully aussies hav made sure tat fiasco wont happen again.. Wat a glorious finish to 2 of gr8 careers infact three includin langer!!

Mcgrath is by fer the best bowler.man is known for his impeccable line and lenght. Shane warne is no doubt is good bowler but he did not took wickets in a heap against a team which knows how to play spin. Tendulkar vs warne in chennai 1998 and tendulkar vs mcgrath in mini world cup in kenya in 2000.It was a pretty awesome battle.in both occasions tendulkar won the battle.

I don't think aussies are going to win the world cup this time around.They don't have the slow blowers to bowl in the slow wickets in the carribean.watch out for india and srilanka.
