"The Wednesday " ahead in World Cup - 10 things that makes it "more special"

It would be a tense "The Wednesday" -  on the 30th of March when the the biggest of matches is live.
I would thank my manager who gave me an optional off on this day. Hope all follow this -to let people go with their soul.

Few things that make the day most special.

1.  Top of the list :  Sachin - In the last three success against Pakistan "Ton"dulkar is the key with a thrilling 98 in one match and a half century followed by two wickets  in another - A day cannot be bigger for him and the whole cricket in India, if he scores his 100th ton and guides India to victory. It could help him break the myths around him about big match innings played by him  and team fate with his centuries and also  help "silence " so-called crtics atleast for the rest of his career in the biggest possible way .
He should tame Afridi's men - and contradict their statements with a bat.

2.  Yuvi -  the man behind the India success is going to have a day out in his home ground. What a day it would be for him . He can have the best day on Field. It would be a life time oppurtunity  for him to take the MOM on such an occasion infront of his people.

3. India's track record against Pakistan - Dhoni has handled several kinds of pressure - but this has to be the biggest to retain the 100 % success of India against pakistan in world cup history so far.

4. If Team India really wants to gift Sachin the World cup for his contribution to cricket in India - They have to win this. Whole India wants this win for gods sake. No Australia and SA - we have a great chance to lift the cup.

5. Rejuvenated Pak under Afridi - They are in roaring form the tournament so far. If we do not them panic - it is difficult to beat them on the ground. It means Sehwag should take the game away. No excuses here of his flamboyancy nature.

6. The visit of The Pakistani PM, Mr. Gilani  to visit the match only adds more spice to the match. It would be welcome by cricketing fraternity.

7. A Seamer friendly track to aid in flood lights  - can add more chaos the decision to bat first or chase ?
    If Pakistan fields in the night - they would be all over us. Dhoni's toss troubles can land us in more trouble.

8. This win sets the tone for the immediately coming  funfilled event- the IPL, A loss here means it would crash millions of hearts and it takes more than a month or so for people to come to reality with cricket.

9. " Rawalpindi Express "Akthar on the verge of retirement - Will he play ? Can we see for the last time the fierce battle between Sachin/ Sehwag Vs Akhtar ?

10.Who is aggressive "with the ball" ? - Afridi or H'bhajan ?

All in all  - A crazy day for all the cricket maniacs and it comes a with a tag line - "Watch it if you are brave hearted " - The tag line of true thriller.
