World cup comes to an end for me!!!
Maybe not officially............but wid the exit of Newzealand WC ends for me!!
i thot i ll update my blog on 28th celebrating kiwis winnin the cup!!i m sure lots of u ll will disagree wid my belief in thm!!but if their is one team 2day in world cricket who evn tho r lacking in resorces........but still performs excellently is..........NEWZEALAND!!
it broke my heart watchin thm lose!!but i was still not feelin dis lost......coz i knw evn reachin semis is an achievement in itself!!tho i wud ve loved to see thm lifting d cup for another reason thn dey r my fav team n definitely deserving as well!dat reason was dat dis most probably was last WC stephen Fleming was playin!!for a person who has given so much to not just nzl cricket but World cricket.....it certainly wud ve been a very well earned reward!
sm1 who was no doubt the most shrewd n calculating captain cricket has evr seen!!an example of his intelligence was seen in recent super 8 match against srilanka!tho dey lost the match but stephen made sure dat dis has very lil impact on deir NRR!!so if the worst case scenario happens thn deir NRR will get thm to semis!!
stephen fleming has always had a special place in my heart!!tho i m quite smitten by dere left arm spinner..........but it was stephen who made me fall in love wid the whole nzl team!!n in turn my crush for a long tym!!tho Stephen is also very good lookin but i was attracted to him coz of his presence on field!
i knw ppl will always be against my decision of supportin nzl team rather thn India!!but i cud never support a team just for the sake of thm being my home team!!
my support for nzl goes beyond 10 yrs!!n dats only coz dey are hard wrkng lot!!dey r a gr8 example of not just team spirit but also playin game in gud spirit!!
Stephen is leaving a hollow behind him.......if Dan becomes captain thn he has a lot to prove!filling stephen's shoes wont be easy!for 10 yrs he has captained d team.......it has become quite hard to imagine sm1 else in his place!!but i m sure danny will do gud....after all he has been groomed for dis post for years.....dat too under stephen!!
Stephen's presence on field was amazing!sm1 u cant help but respect,n thn wonder how does he make evrythng look so easy!like he knew dat was goin to happen!!
he is player not just his own team mates but also lot of other player look upto!
HE DEFINITELY IS THE BEST CAPTAIN WE HAVE SEEN!!
it will be very different fellin to see him on field.....just as a batsman........not the captain!!
we r sooo gonna miss you!
good luck!!
