STUMPED BY THE IMP - IND vs BAN CWC 2011
So the Cricket World Cup 2011 starts in less than 24 hours from now, where Bangladesh takes on the Champions from 1983 and the most favored team this year, India! However if I would take the liberties in looking back at the 2007 CWC even then India were the favorites, until they met Bangladesh that is, and we all know what happened there right? Lil Tamim Iqbal going berserk, while Dravid kept pinching himself to make sure he was not in the middle of a bad dream and Yuvraj Singh actually contemplated playing marbles for a change!!!
So who’s to say that this won’t happen again? Hence the reason for this article just before the 2011 CWC in case some people have too much hope on their team here’s an accurate assessment as to why they can actually throw away the dream before even going to bed J
Team India:
Team India on paper looks solid, they have a good batting lineup and a decent bowling line up, great balance of old and young players etc etc… So what could possibly go wrong right?? Nothing right?? Well think again!
Here is how the whole plan could fall apart! They have too many players with too much of other responsibilities and ties with their sponsors. Dhoni will have to keep using his AIRCEL phone to look for proper tips online, while doing so Yuraj would run to the washroom to style up his hair and drop his TATA FOTON Dongle off his pocket that made him fast on the field, some git would throw water on Sachin and he would melt cuz he would not be carrying his Reynolds pen, and wait??? Gambhir and Sehwag would be too busy goofing around with their mobile phones totally forgetting the practice and match dates!!
So now that we know how this could go wrong for India even if they lose the game we know whom to blame… WE BLAME THE BLOODY PLAYER AGENTS FOR GETTING EM SO MANY ENDORSEMENTS!!!
Team Bangladesh:
Oh yeah! They sure can screw it up too! Just like that, all it will take for them to do so is a beautiful maiden (no not the no run, over) sitting by the fence flaunting herself. The next thing you know all the boys would be looking at her and wondering “ if we win this match she will be impressed and want to marry us, and we can live happily ever after, hmm wait a min we all cant marry her? But why not we are a team? A team does everything together? Then as a team we shall impress her” and once they make that decision team India could well have walked their arses off the ground with a win over the most united team of the 2011 CWC!
Cricket is all about winning and losing so while others would write about why they think certain teams would win I will be enlightening you all as to why they would lose it all just like that! Keep it logged in to “Stumped By the Imp” for more up to date scientific and accurate analysis!!
Not too worried anyway - this format is a lot more forgiving than the last one.
