Today the whole country was watching the cricket match. Most of the Sri Lankans supported Australia while I wished India win. For different reasons.
I think for those who wanted Australia to win it was because India destroyed Sri Lanka in a match so badly that the SL cricket board started infighting which led to a ban from the international cricket council. Besides there are some political issues between the two peoples.
Why I wanted India to win was because for Australia it's just a game, while for Indians it's life, a cult, something to live for. It hurts them a lot when they lose at the world cup, and on their home soil. Besides my clan mates were so sure of the win they asked me to watch the match. Many of them.
Australia won.
