Chasing the Monsoons

India won the final against Pakistan in the Twenty20 World Cup, sending them packing home with their tail(s) between their legs. A couple of us had left work early to catch the match from the beginning, and boy was it worth it!

The Pakis did a good job in restricting us to 157 in 20 overs, but we still got the better of them. It was a nail-biting finish that all of us will remember for some time to come!!

What did suck was Shoaib Malik's statement right after the match that went, "I would like to start by saying to the people of Pakistan and all the Muslims in the world, that were are sorry we lost". What was lost on me was why make this about religion, when it is about sport and country? We won, you lost, so bug off!

If you would like to read about that bit in detail, do look at Doc Mitasha's post on the topic.

Yuvraj knocking the socks off of the Aussie bowlers. India deserved this win!
