The T20 World Cup cricket is being played in Sri Lanka in which the various cricket playing nations are slugging it out to be the World Champions of the shortest form of International cricket. After the preliminary rounds , the super eight level is presently on, in which the top two teams from the four groups that had initially been formed at the start of the competition play each other after being divided into 2 groups. The top 2 teams from each team then move into the semi finals, the winners of which then fight it out in the finals.
Anyway, the main aim of my post is to highlight a certain point which I am sure would be very useful for all Blue Caramelers, a point that is exemplified by the erratic performance of Team India, the Men in Blue. The team which has world beaters in their own right, players like Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Gautam Gambhir, Virendra Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh and R Ashwin has been playing without consistency. After struggling and beating minnows Afghanistan in their opening match, Team India played out of its skin to annihilate defending champions England in the subsequent match, only to be demolished by a below par Australia in the first match of the super 8.
When you are in the flow, you need to make every moment count. Luck and fortune are very fickle mistresses, so you need to make hay while the sun shines and deliver your best. Team India reached the pinnacle of world cricket when it won the world cup 50 overs championship and also reigned supreme in the world test rankings. But as the saying goes, you need to run twice as fast when you are at the top, just to retain your position and that is where India seems to be failing.
So, all Blue Caramelers need to understand that Well Begun is Only Half Done, it is not until things END WELL that THINGS are actually WELL.
