Cricket Fever - India

What is Happening with West Indies Cricket !!!

The First game in World Cup and after so long wanting some good news from the legends of Calypso land where 15-20 years ago we had Viv Richards, Ambrose and this is the news I get.
Ireland 307 for 6 (Stirling 92, Joyce 84, N O'Brien 79*) beat West Indies 304 for 7 (Simmons 102, Sammy 89, Dockrell 3-50) by 4 wickets, made in 45.4 overs@Saxton Oval
And this is what was said of the game "Ireland put the world in the cup as the obliging West Indies sleepwalked to an embarrassing - does it embarrass them anymore, though? - defeat during which only Darren Sammy and Lendl Simmons seemed awake in rescuing them from 87 for 5. The West Indies bowling was as flat as their top order as the adventurous Paul Stirling, smooth Ed Joyce and nerveless Niall O'Brien coasted to the target of 305 efficiently and without any anxiety despite a late wobble that came too late. " 

With folks Chris Gayle

Interesting was the location of the game it was thelocation in NZ, so far away from Ireland and WI coast. As someway said the end of the World.

It is 2015 - So this year belongs to Cricket.

The World Cup fever has started in a big way. But the most important reason, why this World Cup is important, would be as I can relive it as I used to. Because

• Ease of Following Game - It is so much easier to follow the games from US especially after Willow, and Dish TV have become a regular part of the current milieu at a reasonable cost. I still remember how even in 2011 watching the game was via some telecast of some UK channels on the Internet. Still remember in 2003 when I was last in a significant group of Desi connection, where we paid an enormous price to see the games
