The Last Good Day

The last good day of cricket in this world cup was more than two weeks ago when Pakistan lost to Ireland and India fell to Bangladesh. There have been may be three games of some interest since then. Much more of note has been off the field. First Woolmer's death, Inzamam's retirement; the drama whether Pakistan will stay on and play its final game; the revelation that Woolmer was murdered and the rampant speculation and finger pointing in its aftermath; Now the fallout from India's fall seems to be taking center stage nearing its crescendo with a Tendulkar-Chappell dual on the horizon. Before this is done and the second salvo of the Woolmer case is over (Pakistani investigator leaving for Jamaica) one can only hope that the Super Eights are over and some interesting cricket can start.
