The cricket&its mysteries

Those who had opportunity to watch the first final between Aus&SL would wonder what is happening in

CB Series being held Down under.In the league match ,the last one of the 8 matches between India&Australia were marred by controversies of Declaring David Hussey not out despite his stopping the ball with his hand.The ball was not coming from opposite direction for him to stop it from hitting it.He was all along turning back &watching the movement of the ball to ensure he reaches the opposite crease before the ball reaches,And the argument that a ball coming from a side would hit a running man is absurd as the probability of such an occurance is just 1%.
Similarly Brett Lee purposed blocked the running path of Sachin to give sufficient time for Warner to shatter the stumps.Sachin who had to take a round about way to reach crease could not do so  because there was no sufficient time to do that sice he was prevented from doing so by Brett Lee.
Dhoni rightly pointed out thuis to the Umpire as well as through media but whatever he said fell in deaf years,
Though India was deprived of their chances of reaching Final.,in the next match Sachin,Gambhir,Raina &above all VIRAT KOHLI with an unbeaten 133 (NO) overhauled the mammoth score of SL 320 in 50 overs.He took just 36.4 overs to do make 321/33.4 overs there by earned a valuable Bonus point for his Motherland.
In the next match everything depended upon the resut of the match between Australia&SriLanla.Aussuies had already qualified for Final even before the commence ment of their match against SL
So India's fate was hanging in a balance.Unless SL lost to Australia there was no chance for India to advance to the final.
SL was able to score just 238 in 50 overs .The target of 239 was just a child's play for the mighty Australians.But ultimately they lost to SL by 10 runs because the last man at the crease the same David Hussey had to score 11 from 6 balls.
He failed to do this &was caught in the second ball which he was hitting aimlessly to up in the sky.
But to day Australia score 321 without any shortcomings .thye openers made 180 without a wicket.The same openers &yet another good batsman lost their wicket for just 38 runs.in just 7 overs.
Al these (What mentioned above )put together &read between lines one could easily find that the Australians were purposely trying to avoid the Indians making it to the Final.
Today they just escaped from The Srilankas by sheer luck.
IUt could have been real poetic justice had they lost the match today.
In the circumstances,Cricket is no more looking like a Glorious Game.
In this context the Asian Cup starting on 11th March at DHAKA(BDesh)
 assumes much significance,
There appears to have sufficient grounds for real fire works in the Asian Cup involving SL.INDIA&PAKISTAN.
A new RAMAYAN between BHARAT&LANKANS and a Ferocious fight between Traditional Rivals Pakistan&India& yet another encounter between SL&PAK after their last experience in Pakistan when they even faced threat to life, are likely to make the Tournament a unforgetable event
All are invited to glue themselves to their TV sets to watch the "Real Pooram of Cricket" frpm 11th march onwards.
All the best
