Was chatting todaywith Prem, the sad dude who roots for India. And my case was proven, again. He said “LOOK. THE AUSTRALIANS ARE AN OLD LOT. SO HOPEFULLY THE NEWER ONES WON’T BE AS GOOD AS GILCHRIST, MEGRAJ, WARNE AND PONTING.” I mean man that is so sad. Instead of hoping that other teams start making better players you, and the rest of the world, are hoping the Oz will wane down. Instead of “strive to be great” you’re all promoting bring the great down and you’ll be great thing. Sad. Sad. Like I said one of my previous blogs, it’s bloody friggin’ hard being an Aussie fan.

Everyone is always ganging up together around you, taunting you, criticizing the team for being great, just waiting for that one loss to gloat over and make you feel bad and trying to push you to lose your cool and go mad. But I’m cool with that. That’s what you get from watching and rooting for the Oz. really. And then there is that ‘not good for cricket’ crap they keep throwing at you all the time. Is it the Aussie’s fault that they are good and the rest of the world aren’t. Well what if they lose tonight? What’s gonna happen? Is that one loss gonna change the whole story? With that one loss are the Aussies not gonna be the whipperboys and balance is going to descend on the whole cricket world? Guess not. One loss is not going to change a lot. But the fact that it is a World Cup final is going to set back the rest of them.

Long ago around a year or so after England won the Ashes, the poms were not doing too well and someone said on BBC’s cricket blog: The Ashes win was the worst thing that could happen to English cricket. It made them think that everything was alright with them. While it won’t be exactly similar if Australia lose today, it could be something similar. Maybe I am just biased because I am an Oz Fan. But the good thing from that (the Oz lose) is that you learn to brace for these kinda things. Every loss has made them come out stronger in the next outing. And you know they’ll bounce back and thrash the offenders. So in the end one loss is just that – one small tiny winy loss. I say the Oz are good for the game. They provide you the benchmark to look up to and strive to become – or beat. Once that’s gone everything is just going to be mediocre. But who’s to understand that. But trust me. Life supporting the Oz is really not easy.

Here are some quotes I picked up from BBC’s blog on the day of the Oz-Protozoas semi match

“1415 BST: Dressing-room doors firmly shut at the mo, and we can only imagine what’s going on in there - Jacques Kallis practising his forward defensive in the mirror while Andre Nel is being restrained with ropes, while in the Aussie locker-room Matthew Hayden gulps down his third protein shake of the day while bench-pressing a fridge with his spare hand.”

- Tom Fordyce, the live text commentator for BBC

You know something that I have realized lately? It’s so damn hard being an Australian cricket fan. damn hard! Why? Cuz unlike the Indians, Pakis, Windies, Poms and the other few, Aussies bloody lose so little that you actually don’t know how to react.

This has been something that me has been thinking for some time now and the big big proof came forward the other day. Even that headline came the other day. I think it was Holding who said it… I don’t remember but on the interviewed was Murali, I think…or was it Jaiwardane…? Considering the number of wickets he took against the Kiwis and the problems he and the other spinners became for the poor kiwis… holding said how he liked the pitch which looked like it was tailor made for Murali. It suited his bowling so bloody nicely….Well….may be it WAS tailor made for Sri Lanka….. Like what we could see today against the Great Wizards of OZ….. the real world champs no matter who wins the cup…..or goes to the finals… There is a small piece of doubt… of conspiracy by the ICC or the pitch makers or whoevers ….the bloody pitches have change… tampered with……

What’s happening? This thing is my third straight blog about very unexpected things happening. Things you really thought you’d not see in your lifetime or even conceived the possibility of. This time it is the demise of the giants at the hands of the minnows, or the leprechauns as I have put it here. Well Bangladesh beating India in both teams first world cup match in this edition may have been a small possibility. I mean I did once ask Mote (prem dhakal… Indian ‘fan’) what would happen if the ‘Tiger’ beat India.. i don’t remember what he said but it was probably a grunt, a growl and then probably some ill thoughts targeted at Australia. But Ireland beating the Pakis…nah that thought would crumble the moment it crossed my mind… just like India and Pakistan crumbled. Quite a Saint Patrick’s day they had.

Yeap! It’s all over for me. England went and Brazil followed moments after. Guess I will have to go with Bikash Karki to ATTSH. He said he would go there and put “Still an Argentine fan,” in his Argentina jersay. I will have to get “Still a Brazil fan,” behind mine. Or think of something else. I promise I will tell you the history of that slogan in my next post. For now some France bashing. Click to Overdose on senseless RANTING »

England lost… :(… Well if Brazil make it through later tonight then this might actually be a blessing because then my dilemma of whom to root for in the semis and finally end up rooting against England and feel not so nice about it would be solved.�

I left off the previous one with “To be continued during England’s big scary match against Sweden. Will history repeat? 12:22 and still 20 minutes to go… and my bike is still in the to clean and put into garage area…..and I am damn tired… I might not end up ending this one up” And as of yet… It still looks that way, but I am still planning to finish it like I am and always have been planning to finish a whole lot of other things. For Now lemme talk some football.
