Lull before Storm or Storm before Lull!!

The Blue Bees have flew to W'indies to play the most expected World Cup 2007. India, a strong team (?) as the Blue Billions call it, have the most exciting and a capable lineup. The most experienced/exciting batsman of the century S R Tendulkar, one of the best orthodox batsman Rahul Dravid, The Bengal Tiger Sourav, the most dangerous opener Sehwag and an over-match Hero Dhoni and the list goes on. Having such a beautiful line up, it still keeps everyone wondering why really did India lose against the upcoming cricketers of Bangladesh. Is that because of their sluggishness or over-confidence or their defensive stance. Infact this is a mixture of all of them. But more than this, I would attribute the loss to the most expecting Indian cricket craziers. In India, cricket is not just a sport, instead cricket is a religion. More the amount of craziness, more is the pressure on the Indian Legends. Having so much pressure it is always an expected outcome to lose the simplest of matches.

India has never had the greatest of starts in the recent world cups. They are always expected to lose in their first match and following it, it is customery that the Indian Crickets Fans, blow up our Indian Cricketers residents. Expectations becomes Demands for the Indian cricket team and there is where they perform the best, LULL before STORM, a perfect example India Vs Bermuda. All the players stormed in to pile up such a record score of 413/5. Now having reached the STORM part of it, will it go back to LULL soon. We need to have our eyes open on the 23rd of March 2007 when India meets the SriLankans.

Hopefully the Lull to Storm doesn't go back to Lull soon.
