Good game!

Wow..the finals of the IPL just finished with the Deccan Chargers lifting the trophy. What an awesome game of cricket. All of us were really excited about the finals and we had done our part of the preparations for the same. There was loads of beer..plenty of snacks and nothing else to do! I just loved the way Kumble started the proceedings. It was really aggressive of him to come on in the first over and get Gilchrist out. It was as if he wanted to take the momentum from the Chargers. I thought he was exceptional. But that was the problem..none of the others joined the party. If there was one more bowler who was as good as him, the Chargers would have had a tough time. Nevertheless, the total they posted was not that big. I thought the Challengers would win easily. But when Harris started his first over..I could feel they were all pretty pumped up! It was a match of nerves at the end. Gilchrist is an awesome campaigner in situations like these. He took the game away from Delhi in the semis and he was exceptional today behind the wickets. He is a nice motivation for the others on the field. Phew! It was a cool match. Two teams who were equally pumped for the finals. I had prayed for Royal Challengers to win..but sadly they lost. Anyways it was a fun atmosphere at home...cheering for every big hit that was hit and every wicket that fell. A good game at the end of the day.
