What. A. Match!
Cricket can bring this country together -- forget about knowledge, views, opinions, likes, dislikes, girls vs boys, RCB vs Deccan Chargers, strategies, teams, selection, or whatever. Its Passion. Its a religion! Its all about that game, that day, who cares if we lose tomorrow, but today we'll hammer them.
(And especially if this means we get to play the Pakistani's next, we'll hammer them also!!)

This is the shizz, I tell ya. This is Cricket, This is us Indians, This is what its all about! Its all about wanting to throw your drink at your TV when Gambhir runs like an idiot, its about everyone at work streaming the match such that the internet bandwidth gets jammed, its about yelling abuses at Yuvraj like he'll actually hear you, its about sprinting home from work in the drinks break, its about traffic-free streets during match days, its about not changing seats coz no wickets have fallen since you sat on that sofa, its about the only Indian sitting in a london office & screaming bhaaago!, its about bearing with Psycho Siddhu in a Purple turban just to hear Dhoni at the post match presentation, its about the fucking passion.
I mean, how can you *not* be a cricket fan after a world cup like this -- first the tied game against England, then some random tiny little team beating the mighty English, then the crazy collapses, and then Team India, the Men in Blue. Sachin Tendulkar, Ponting, Murali. Epic!
I know this World Cup has converted a few non believers, for sure! Welcome to the family.
