India, ranked four places below Pakistan managed to win the first two ODIs calls for a celebration of a magnitude slightly lower than the one seen when Bangladesh defeated India, a few months back.The Indian media goes over the top in raising expectations where none or little exists.The Indian Test match team is perhaps its best ever and is justifiably ranked at number 3.The ODI team is as ordinary as any that has represented India.
True,India finished second in the world Cup.But India won the 1983 World Cup and I wonder if the Indian media remembers what happened thereafter.For those who were not following Cricket then,India lost all the ODIs to the west Indies. And those who like to point out our achievement of the 2003 World Cup,may i point out that another of our fellow semi finalis kenya are languishing at number 10. Only Australia and Sri Lanka from amongst the four semi finalist have done well consistently in the two years gone by.
So well done Team India,Zimbabwe shoul be easy.
