India's 8 Game Winning Streak
Anyone who knows me knows that when it comes to sports I love watching those history making games, those games that change the way things have been for a long time, and brings a new and exciting twist to any sport. Oh yes, any sport but that is a topic for another day today is India's day, and this year is turning out to be a great one for India in terms of cricket. If you weren't living on another planet on February 21st, 2015 or on March 6th, 2015 then you watching history being made on the cricket field. India has made history on the field this year many times, and this last time just qualified them for the quarter-finals of the ICC cricket world cup 2015. I cannot tell you how excited this makes because I watched, read, and clicked out google scores like crazy to keep up with all of this.
Firstly India beats South Africa for the first time in cricket history BY! States of India 307/7 (50) to South Africa 177/10 (40.2). India dissevered that win in what I called the, "shut up South African win of the century" well really that is almost a century it's was really the half-century in the making and well worth the wait. I say half century because the Cricket World Cup has only been played for 40 years so that 10 years away from a full century. I use the phrase "the shut up South Africa" in the assumption that whenever South Africa takes to the field with India their fans and themselves assume they will win, but this time was different this time India showed them to shut up as the won their first game against them in cricket World Cup history.
Now India has decided to make even more history in their game against the West Indies, and go on an 8 game winning streak! This streak ties them at their longest winning streak to record, and you can bet I will be watching from now on to see if the make it 9 and beat their record. Not only or they on their first 8 games winning streak since 2003, but Dhoni finished the game again. At some point, I remember India was winning and then it seemed like they weren't and the here comes Dhoni the Finisher. In this game (that at this point can only be described as a true nail bitter so much so that even those who don't bite their nails would find themselves at the end of this game nailless) Dhoni takes the field. He is cool, claim, and collective as always, and seems to bring a peace to the crowd of India fans who up until this point were probably about to fall off the edge of their seats. The thought in the fans minds would be something to the existent of, "Dhoni is here, now everything well is ok." I'm imagining all of this of course because I wouldn't watch the game which is why the computer I was sitting in front of might have wished it not to break if it could wish, and my google history shows clicks of mad women to prove it. You see I wasn't able to watch the game on TV, the computer, or my phone so I had to click for stats (which killed me) and read the commentary. India is on FIRE this season, and this is definitely not the time to miss a game.
