Activity</a> article has uncountable lofty suggestions for how to see about it. I feel a strange amount of loss if I don't get to watch even an Indian loss.
A fascinating truth is, whenever I have betted on India winning, I've lost badly. I win that bet, whenever I bet realistically on cricket. But with India, it is just too a lot of heart involved. So today, I have stopped betting on India so that profit and loss don't come in picture itself, when Indian group is in equation. And it's not only about me anymore. It is about history of Indian cricket the past ten years. A lot more than that, it is in regards to the common man on the road, who regardless of how impossible the situation is, prays for an Indian win. One cricket writer had mentioned, 'How I wish the number of desires get matches compared to number of runs '! Just today morning, when I was having a cup of tea at a tea-stall, the secretary of the stall-owner held arguing with the owner how India is better placed to get the cup given their powerful batting line-up and his belief in the top three. But, the owner was unwilling to recognize after viewing the bowling of Nehra and co cleaning away Tendulkar's century just past Saturday. I'm that it is the Indian team's obligation now, to prove that assistant right, to prove my hope right and to satisfy what the collective consciousness continues to be demanding over the years.
Is it Certainly About Tendulkar?
Therefore, where does all this place the notion of winning the cup for Tendulkar?? Is it only about Tendulkar or is it also about an entire generation, who have recognized no other HERO than Tendulkar? In his book 'All That You Can not Leave Behind', Soumya Bhattacharya writes - 'It strikes me that there's a whole generation of Indian cricket fans who're, say, in their mid- or late-twenties, remember no Indian cricket aside from that dominated by Tendulkar. They'll, once he goes, realize the strangeness of not having him there. They will need to cope with the terrible vacuum. And they'll talk to future generations of what it had been like to have him around.'
I'm among those of an incredible number of supporters who've lived and felt the pain every single time India has failed to get the World cup for Sachin or otherwise (just in case you never know very well what otherwise means, it means for the nation). OK! Allow me to date=june 2011 this right. What does 'winning the world cup for Sachin' mean exactly? If you discard the understanding that patriotism is only about sacrificing your life on the battlefield, maybe, just maybe, there's no greater patriot than Sachin in India. His often-cliched statement after a nervous 90 breakdown goes like this - 'Provided that the team wins, I'm satisfied with my 90s.' (Come on! Who in the world is happy escaping within the 90s?) What does this statement mean? It merely means Tendulkar is both really humble or not human. He desperately wants to cover his international career along with his long cherished desire. Now, what is wrong with that? Also being a Tendulkar die-hard, I do not care if he reaches his landmark of 100 centuries till the final or not! Even if he gets from zero in most innings henceforth and India wins the cup, I'll be more than happy.
The Present Scenario
With that said, I am sick of people criticizing Dhoni and Nehra, for your other day against South Africa. Dhoni is a gambler. Sometimes it pays off and sometimes not. It generally does not mean we have to publicly start a hate-campaign against Nehra. Have faith! They have been our cricketing assets over the years. He's the best job in India recruited through the most cunning process of selection, if he's for the reason that staff of 11.

My head is already walking to the Wankhede on 2nd April with Sachin playing that exquisite cover drive to Brett Lee (many probably!) to log off the mark. Oh! Exactly how many times I must have relished that drive? Still, I can't have enough of it. I'm an optimist and a dreamer! Recently, one of my friends believed to me - You are building castles in the air! My response is - Yes, certainly. I am building castles in the air. If there is time for you to build those, it's now. It is time for you to dream. If at all the dream is not fulfilled on 2nd April or crushed even before that, I will at least have the satisfaction of having supported my team with all my heart till the end. No cynicism or pessimism..only HOPE, the greatest of thoughts, coz' as Andy thought to Red in The Shawshank Redemption, 'Hope is a good thing, maybe the most readily useful of things, and no good thing ever dies '!.
