There was a time when I was so excited about cricket and in particular World Cup Cricket. However, this year I am no longer excited. Thanks to the match fixings and pathetic performance of the Indian team before the World Cup. I still remember that when I was a kid, I used to follow cricket and World Cup Cricket like a manic. I was in school at the time of 1996 World Cup and Times of India had given a 40 pages booklet on World Cup Cricket. I used to note down all the scores and winners of each matches in the book. Those were the days sans Internet! I still treasure that booklet with all the scores written in my schoolboyish handwriting. But now due to some reason, over the period of years I have lost the cricket fever that I had once upon a time for cricket and Indian team. But, this year I am backing Aussies again for a win!
