War without the guns

Too too excited to write something new. Have been gripped by the usual nerves before such a cricket match. Actually hate cricket when it gets like this...sooo intense, so rivalrous and so much more than winning and losing. and it had to happen in the World Cup.

On an aside, I guess I'm too much of a sports fanatic. Sports and my team's outcome really matter to me. Duke crashed out of the NCAA basket ball tournament in the sweet sixteen round and for days after that I was in mourning. Still am. Still can't get over the shock loss..

ok..no more negative thoughts. On a positive note, the awesome aspect of matches such as these is that you know that your life will never be the same after such a match. The memory will stay with you. Whether it be a brilliant innings or a dropped catch, you will remember how it played out and where you were when things unfolded. Yes, regardless, its a special moment in time. And that indeed, is the beauty of sport.
