Good day to all of the sports geeks!
Whats up? I hope you are having a great time, living in sweet home and outside of it.Far more things are there to look out is the weather, sorry to say I have been having problems with the neat adjustment of the weather around, sometimes it shines as bright as a sunny day,and sometimes I get to see my shirts soaking up with the heavy downpour.
Whoh! Anyway,dont know if you have the same issue get going over your own territory.

Today,I was rolling over some video clips in the internet and certainly a clip got over all those others.It was the past 19's CWC world cup final moments, I was like being fully romanticised by watching it and felt the same as 3 years ago,past covid world, empty masks and zero social distancing, hovering crowds and pulling out demarcation stops and fans all over the stadium.
Oh,what a great feel that was and much of what the incredibly dramatic part was the epic ultimate scenes and match conditions it was back then.
Before watching the clip,the memories were so fresh that I even could say the ending points and the postures of suspense in the crowd,fans who could feel both of their team reached to the point of a historical edge where, just a few centimetre of deviation of the bat swing, right or left,a quality drive or stroke can divide between, winning or losing,lifting the most prestigious cricketing trophy or bursting in crying,making the whole nation proud or making them feel sad.

Such tremendous speculations were going in the minds of the crowd, specially England fans could feel the thril more than anyone.As they had the home advantage, so the behaviour of the pitch was well known to all the players, but contrarily having dealt with the pressure of fans with high expectations made the sense of the players to shape like a iron hearted combator.
I could recall, Jofra Archer was given with the superover in the world cup final, who had just a few International cricket match experience. How risky that was! But Morgan took the faith on the skill, rather than experience, but watching the match, I was literally so nervous watching the match in the tv screen. Now, it is understandable how was their pressure back at the real time play.

I think, in the whole history of world cup cricket, nobody got to see such kind of closing final ever! Final match of a world cup always pushes in a corner, like the match gets one sided,where a single team dominates with the glaring performance, on the other hand the likley runner up team shows recessive role. Looking at past cricket world cup, prior to the 19th edition,truth can be seen on behalf of the fact that,the winning margin of the final match was quite big.
But, when the luck of the match was to be decided by the fatal super-over, then no drama can be played in the style. As the commentator in the press box was saying,
Oh mY God, The match has gone to the super over! You are kidding me! You are kidding me! You just can not write a script like that, you just cannot!!!
That says, what a real time drama it was in the final.I was thinking back then,how can a match be that much tight?
How can the best two teams on the basis of their performance throughout the whole tour can come and play in the final,in the last stage, being in the state of just one stroke away of winning /losing the match and the trophy and the jubilation and the pride and a presidential invitation altogether?
How could they play toe to toe, ball by ball,run by run and coming out all the same after the 50 overs game play?

Now it wasnt possible for the umpires and match officials to declare the winner, scores were level and only super over left to decide.10 minutes of long time passed bye and 15 runs in that over by the lords stadium holder and it was 16 runs needed to be the world champion for New Zealand.
Some strokes exchanged, including a lethal blow that hoisted over the lawn turf and over the crowds head, resulting in full rejoice. In the end,the whole game was down to a couple runs to be the crown champions for NZ.
It was down to the last ball of the super over by Archer to Guptil and I was less sure of Archer's heart, whether it was pumping or not, whether he breathed that time or not, but all I could see his feets were moving and getting prepared to bowl the final ball of the competition.
The ultimate ball was nearly a yorker, and Guptils mind was never thinking of slamming the ball out of the park,rather it was the case of scoring two runs out of the long equation to win the trophy, so he glanced i into the mid -on, square the wicket region, all the spectators on the lords balcony were in their own feet, I was pretty sure whether there were any disable sitting in the wheel chair,but even the disabled also stood on their feet.

The ball was progressing towards the mid wicket fielder and he sprinted with all lively energy stored for all of his life and threw with such a sheer pace.
In between the time of flight of the ball,Guptil covered the pitch once and was returning back to be in the end point to make a brace of run to reach at the point from where he started stroking, and some heartbeats passed and the time was like a flashback to the past of Englands recent cricket, all came down to the last dynamism of the brace run.
The Ultimate Throw was at the keepers end and Guptil was sprinting hardest, maybe, that was a part of God's luck to increase the accuracy of the through,the legendary ball flew towards the gloves of buttler, who was standing iconic behind the wicket, and a stunning acrobatic act of a pair of hands that collected the ball and broke the stem of the wicket with a ghastly blow, and all of the world could see,

Offish Blue shirts running wild and free, with such a feelings of jubilation and glory,rhapsodizing scene and moments that beared a immense historical importance to the cricket of England. The whole of England felt the Earthquake by the fans all over, the whole world just kept watching and congratulating.
All of the world could hear the magical words from the commentatory box,
The throw is at the keepers end,the gotta push for two, they gotta push for two,remember the names! (Stumps being broken and the sound of it)... England have won the world cup, From The Barest Of Marginnss...From the Barest Of All Margins... Ecstasy For England, Agony.. Agony For New Zealnad.
These words still reverberate in my head and I wrote the above commentary from my memory, so you can feel how clear was the ending scene of the world cup.
Now, what I personally think that, there would be years to come ahead and still world cups will be held, we have seen the past and felt the thrill of world cup.But, who ever in the history of world cup has seen such events coming true.?
Did anyone ever witnessed the world cup final to be that much close, where in one side the match turned to the NZ & For ENG. Can a dramatic play with such script ever be written? But the final wasnt a drama nor a play,it was real story with real characters with real feelings.May such matches come again,but here is what ;
