Yes, India totally did it. After defeating Pakistan in last match, India defeated Sri Lanka in an awesome match played at Vankhede Stadium in Mumbai, India. I am very-very happy. last time they won was 1983, I wasn't even born then. They really had to wait a along time to win it again... considering Cricket is like the National Sport of India; which it actually is not, the official national sport is Hockey or Field Hockey as american's say it. But India really won & its AWESOME.
You know what, let me take this opportunity to explain cricket here. FYI: Baseball is something like Cricket. In Cricket, there are 2 teams with 11 players each. Both the teams get to Play 50 overs. One over has 6 balls, which means the bowler throes the ball to batsman 6 times in one over. The toss between two Captains decides which team selects to bat or bowl first & the other team does the other. The batting team sends 2 batsman on field to face the bowler. The bowling team does fielding as well, with one bowler bowling and rest 10 fielding i.e. trying to catch/stop the bowl. The batsman run between the two wickets & every one complete run gives one RUN/point. If the ball is hit directly outside field boundary, its 6 runs & if it drags to boundary its 4 runs. If the ball hits the wickets (the tree stumps behind batsman), he's considered OUT & replaced by next batsman. Even if the ball is caught directly after the batsman hits, its a catch & the batsman gets out. There are lost of other details but forget about it for now. Once the first batting team is done playing either 50 overs or until their 10 batsman last (last batman can't play alone), they have a score fro the other team to chase. The 2nd team tries to make that score in 50 overs & within its 11 players (10 batsman to get out). 1st team tries to get them all out before they can make score or not let them make that score in 50 overs. The team with more score at the end wins. SIMPLE!!!
Yesterday was April Fool's Day. I celebrated this day as a smart person doing smart thing. Might have started as a fool actually; someone knows what I am saying.... LOL. So again -> CONGRATULATIONS to all my fellow Indians or Indian Tea supporters for this awesome win, we made it happen. We did it.. Thanks & have FUN..... WE ROCK!!!!!
