Dear cricket fans,

First let me apologize for the dismal performance of the team at the World Cup. We take full responsibility of the defeat. We understand your frustration at the team’s exit in the first round and especially at the loss to Bangladesh but you see we had no option. The loss to Bangladesh was planned because the Indian Government struck a deal with the Bangladesh that if it allows its team to lose this match then the illegal Bangladeshi immigrants,spread across length and breadth of India, would be accepted back. Plus there was lot of pressure from the ICC to make Bangladesh win as it has been so many years since it was granted test status.

The inevitable has happened. Dreams were shattered, hearts were broken and many were sent to deep chasm of depression after seeing India lose to minnows Bangladesh. All the hype around ‘Team India’ seems to have suffered a big blow. I wonder why they still show that Pepsi ad, where Indian team poses like the tigers, when they falling like nail pins. Bangladeshis would have had a heartily laugh seeing these tigers become asses in front of Bengal Tigers.

South Africa’s Herschelle Gibbs created World Cup cricket history when he smashed six sixes in an over in a crushing victory over the Netherlands in their Group A match here today.

On a record-breaking day for the South Africans who steamrollered the outclassed Dutch by 221 runs, Gibbs became the first player to pile up 36 runs in a one-day international over.

After hammering leg spinner Daan Van Bunge back over his head four times and over the ropes on the on-side twice, he also became the third man ever to complete the feat at elite level.
