WHAT WE'D LIKE TO SEE IN THIS WC..........


A SCORE OF 500 ACHIEVED 


Every World Cup has its share of new records. The subcontinent can be the ideal place where a team gets past the 500-mark in ODIs in an innings. Till now, the highest is 443-9 by Sri Lanka against the Netherlands, but given the hitting abilities of some of the sides in the World Cup, 500 may not be an impossible task


AUSTRALIA COLLAPSING AGAINST ENGLAND AFTER PONTING GETS OUT TRYING THE REVERSE SWEEP 
No English fan has forgotten that Mike Gatting reverse sweep that brought about their downfall in the 1987 Reliance Cup final. Imagine Australia going the same way against England in a knock-out game as Ponting falls for a reverse sweep. An ideal case of history repeating itself... 


BANGLADESH MAKING THE SEMIFINALS 

Passion for the game hasn't translated into performances for the co-hosts. This is their ideal chance to make it count with a couple of upsets in the league stage and then may be one big show in the quarterfinals can take Bangladesh cricket to a different height

AFRIDI HOLDING ALOFT THE WORLD CUP AT WANKHEDE
After all the Shiv Sena threats over the last two decades Pakistan skipper Afridi lifting the trophy at the Mumbai venue would make it quite special

WHAT WILL HAPPEN
In this World Cup, Sachin Tendulkar will emulate Javed Miandad's record of playing six successive tournaments. The Pak legend played from 1975 to 1996, while Tendulkar debuted in 1992


WHAT'S ON THE CARDS 

11 

The number of boundaries Sachin Tendulkar needs to be the first to record 200 in the World Cup. He already holds the record for the maximum fours in World Cup history - 189 

445 

The record number of ODI games Sachin Tendulkar would have played when he takes the field against Bangladesh at Dhaka on Feb 19. He would be overtaking the former Sri Lankan blaster Sanath Jayasuriya's tally, both of whom have played 444 ODI games each

Unrevealed Love............

Sometimes ....I think there is no unrevealed love
Sometimes ....I think why do I love.....
I think  and I smile
coz I know the list could run on for a mile...........
The warmth of ur touch
make me love you so much.........
the way you look at me, the way ur eyes shine
brings a sense of completion and deluging pride..........
The dreams that I dream and the things we can do
the possibilities I see that all involve you..........
How you finish the amaze that lies at bottom of my heart, 
how that deep in my soul, you are the most important part.......
I could go on for days, tell of what I feel,
but all you really must know is my love for you is real!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS---That's my first poem I ever penned in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is success

What is success


To laugh often and much;

To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;

To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; 

To appreciate beauty;

To find the best in others;

To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; 

To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived;

This is to have succeeded
