India is over and out of the World Twenty20

It just dawned upon me why the IPL is such a huge success: because India can never really be out of it. Here it’s somewhat different. You get pushed around, spanked, bruised and beaten. It’s like I keep hearing that same dialogue from A Knights’ Tale – “You have been weighed, You have been measured And You have been found wanting.”

But it’s all funny. And I’m beginning to find India losing in T20 Dos funny in a mildly annoying way. That helps. The end is always on a high, and hilarious. Today was extra special, the Indians didn’t seem too bothered, they even misfielded the sentiment, but heck, the West Indians, they were, boss, what was that hit us?

I also like the message that announces the elimination, it’s very definitive. But if they had them in the IPL, I’m sure the message would be preceded by a Breaking News pointer.

Anyway, it’s not worth going through the game now, already been done on twitter, you can follow it here, if you care.

No small accomplishment: no name blame
