India Wins Cricket World Cup 2011

Congratulations team India on winning World Cup Cricket this year. India now stands jointly with West Indies at the second position in the number of World Cups won by any team (2 each). Australia still leads with 4 wins registered. Well played Sachin Tendulkar and Yuvraaj Singh. Good job M.S. Dhoni.

Re: India Wins Cricket World Cup 2011

The interesting point to be noted here is that India first won the World Cup in 1983 and won it for the second time in this year in 2011. Both these years started with the same day SATURDAY and were not leap years. (Well yeah, there's a simple mathematics which defines this pattern )

Wow, Go India! Although... that's kinda spooky. 
btw, Ricky Ponting announced his retirement from captaincy. He keeps saying he wasn't pushed out of it, lol! He so was!

Re: India Wins Cricket World Cup 2011

Yeah very spooky indeed, especially when you look at other facts which are circulating over here, of which I'll not go into the details.
Ponting played absolutely fantastic in his last match against India but unfortunately couldn't secure a victory. After winning this World Cup, Tendulkar says he's got his dream fulfilled and that its time for him to retire too.
BTW, there are a couple of players here who need to be 'pushed out' LoL but I'm sure they won't be for everything will be overlooked upon for the while.
