Great going Aussies.. My favorite team Australia brushed aside all the apprehensions that it may lose out in finals. After all it defies all logic how can a team not lose a single world cup match since the starting of the century (ie. since 2000). How can a team transforms itself to be invincible especially in situations when it matters the most. The simple answer to this is (what I believe) that this team performs its best under pressure. Unlike Indians , South Africans and many others they are not chokers. They don't believing in giving excuses. They spirit of team work and working for a common goal is so high that it virtually glares like a tiger into the eyes of its prey. Imagine India winning 2007 world cup and the great Sachin Tendulkar retiring , to make space for new talent. Its hard to envisage such a situation , for we Indians are not brought up to handle such situations . We generally prefer keep on dragging till we disappear in the oblivion rather than exit gracefully. Starkly it is evident in Indian politics too.
One should see our honorable HRD Minister, Arjun Singh. Vested with the power to develop the Human Resources of the country , he need two persons supporting him to walk! Hope he figures soon out that though the time has long past for him to retire with the magnificence of Share Warne or Glenn McGraath , but do we need another Kapil Dev (his exit was equally dull and prolonged).
