A VERY VERY HAPPY NEWS FOR THE INDIAN CRICKET LOVERS , AS WELL AS THE CRICKET CRITIC'S. THE CHENNAI IS THE LUCKIEST PLACE FOR TENDULKAR AND INDIAN CRICKET TEAM. IT IS NOT A EASY TASK TO SUBMIT THIS VICTORY FOR INDIA.THE THRILL OF BEING WATCHING AND WITNESSING ALL THESE CHASING, IS VERY INTRESTING. ESPECIALLY, FOR THE CHENNAI CRICKET LOVERS/FANS.THEY ALL REALLY REJOICED AFTER A LONG WHILE.THAT TOO, THE WAR LIKE SITUATION IN INDIA AFTER THE MUMBAI ATTACKS.

PEOPLE WERE WORRIED WEATHER THIS MATCH WILL HAPPEN OR NOT ?. DUE TO THE CURRENT PREVAILING SITUATION ARAISED AFTER THE MUMBAI TERROR ATTACKS.THE TOURIST OUTSIDE OF INDIA ARE REFUSE TO VISIT INDIA.THE ENGLAND TEAM WAS ALSO IN THAT SITUATION AND WORRIED ABOUT THEIR PLAYERS SECURITY IN INDIA DURING THEIR TOUR/VISIT. FINALLY THEY CAME DOWN ALL THE WAY TO INDIA(CHENNAI) AND IT HAPPENED.ALL THE CRIDITS GOES TO THE ENGLAND CRICKET TEAM MEMBERS TO THEIR BRAVENESS.

The day was too good especially for SR Tendulkar (103 runs,not out) and v.sehwag.(83 runs). The (mad) fans of chennai celeberated the moment of joy from the core by bursting crackers on the road.Great fun to watch all .Hope the same spirit is ignited and spread throught the nation among cricket lovers.Many chennaite's were on leave for all these days to watch the cricket match lively in chepauk rather watching in t.v. Many offices and schools/colleges were out of people to run the show.Anyhow it is worth finally watching the victory.The efforts by the fans right from getting ticket , until to see the last moment of chasing all were gone as passing by beautiful clouds which is worth remembering.it was a happy moment for one to rejoice to be a witness of this match.

The net result is, India won against England 387/311.The whole thrill is over now. The happy note here is, Sachin dedicated this victory to the victims of mumbai attacks.
