England, once again, lived up to the expectations of being the Biggest Entertainers in this World Cup.
After beating the West Indies in yet another game with more TWISTS that the B’wood movie “RACE”, England Skipper Andrew Strauss stood in the middle of the stadium, thumped his chest and shouted, “ARE YOU ENTERTAINED?” like Russel Crowe in ‘THE GLADIATOR’.
But the fact is, England have been given a close run for the money by all the major teams in Group B – South Africa, India and West Indies. All these teams too have managed to lose games from ‘Its-impossible-to-lose-now’ situations.
In comparison, Group A has been a drab and boring thoroughfare. They have been lagging miles behind on the Entertainment Quotient. Their only solace is that Kamran Akmal is playing in their group providing at least some entertainment value.
Coming to Yesterday’s match, the West Indian batsmen completely seemed to have forgotten about the concept of singles.
They were going : Dot, four, dot, six, dot, OUT…
We came to know later that every time a Six was hit, some money would go to charity and the West Indian batsmen were just trying to do their bit. This being the case, we hope that Dhoni continues to include Piyush Chawla and Ashish Nehra in the playing XI. If they bowl for another couple of matches, we might just be able to eradicate poverty in India. J
