As we bite our nails and pray for the team, there are millions who want to lend their support and solidarity for the team and send their love and best wishes. Here's an excerpt from what the stars from Tinsel Town had in their minds... Shayan Munshi I am crazy about cricket and with the World Cup around the corner tell me who's not? I wish I could go down to West Indies to catch up with the match. It would have been a dream come true. West Indies is a beautiful place with some beautiful tourist destinations. I would definitely try to go there sometime soon. This time I hope to catch up with the matches at home and am planning my schedules around it. For the special matches I would like to get all my friends together and hire a big screen or a projector. Then we can all cheer for the team together and it would be good fun too. I would prefer to make an arrangement either at my place or at my friend's place than going to a sport's pub. My favourite sports star is Sachin Tendulkar. We should be proud of him not only because he's an Indian, but because of his outstanding contribution to world cricket. Though I know cricket is very unpredictable, I would want to wish the Indian team all the luck and gusto to win the Cup. For the past few months India has not been a consistent performer but sometimes you can win on a bad day and lose on a good day. So I am still very optimistic! Other than India I would support South Africa. It's a very strong team and I like them. |
I am anxiously waiting for the matches to start and hope to catch up with them. Actually in December I had planned to fly down to West Indies, but then had to cancel it in late January because of my tight schedules. But anyways, I wish the Team the best of luck. Few days' back our co-stars got together and organised a cricket match and Star News telecast it. It was a tribute to the Men in Blue and I hope all have watched it. I think we have a strong chance to win the Cup this time because we have a wonderful team in place. There is an even balance between experienced players and fresh faces. They are ready with all the power and the killer instinct. Though my all time favourite is Vivian Richards I also like Rahul Dravid (Mr. Dependable) and Dhoni who is in good shape.

I love cricket and during the World Cup I talk cricket, I walk cricket, I laugh cricket! (laughs) I pray and hope India brings the Cup back home this time and it's not only me who is praying, the whole country is praying for them. I would like to add that a lot of media hype is being made of the World Cup. My only request is that let us all lend our support to them instead of creating pressure in their minds. We should learn to take whatever happens. It's after all a game where someone has to win and someone has to loose. We should accept that gracefully instead of blaming the team. I love the entire team. Dravid has been very consistent, Yuvraj is doing well, Dada has made a clean comeback and of course Sachin is the pillar of strength. Sehwag may be a little off but we should give him some time. Go for it India!
Three Cheers for the team!!!
