One of the most boring episodes of Cricket world cup came to a conclusion yesterday. The interesting part is, most of us knew Australia would win the cup and more than that they deserved to win the cup, but everyone hoped otherwise.
While this world cup will be something which Australia will remember because of the hat-trick of the world cups and Glenn Mcgrath's retirement from one day stage, there are whole bunch of other reasons for which I will remember this world cup , like the empty stands in key matches, Bob Woolmer's sad death, India and Pakistan's early exit, Lara and Inzamam's retirement, Flintoff flipping of the boat, but for me something which will remain etched is how a bunch of five experience cricket officials could not get the rules clear and made Sri Lanka come and play the three overs again in the Final of the world cup.
For now I am going to sit back and hope for 2011, when India once again will try to stake claim for the prestigious cup (....hopefully).
