2008 showdown at the WICC

It was perhaps the Thrill Killer’s greatest triumph in sports history, the 2008 showdown at the WICC still invokes jubilation in every Killer's mind. Similar to twenty-five years ago, when Kapil Dev's devils pulled off one of the greatest wins, against the mighty West Indies at Lord's, to script a remarkable day for Indian cricket. Back then, hailed as the underdogs, India beat England in the semifinals and then went on to lift the trophy on June 25, 1983. Yes the parallels are remarkable. But instead of the well wishers sending in their hero messages to that Killer team, this week it was to that Fabulous Father’s outfit that the messages flooded.

A very happy occassion After 25 years, we have found another captian in CH CH CH Choco man. Who can repeate what Kapil's Devils have done in 1983 But it is very sad Kapil & Co is not part of the WICC now. My personal request is for the Mr.Shard Pawar, a shrewed politican who has brokered many alliances even between the arc rivals in politics – well he should step into the fold at the WICC – cuz those bastards are angry, particularly that gnarley Burger boy ref. What the hell am I on about, dunno, but I am confident CH CH CHoco will respond postively as he is known for his love and effection for CRICKET. Hearty congrates to the FFCC Team. You lost but fuck yeah, you de champs (Posted: : Sept 12, 2008,11:48 am)

When I was age 17 I am playing under 17 college cricket and practicing my Jaffna Hindu college cricket grounds. After finished our practice in the dressing room our master in charge listening cricket commentary and told us India all out 183. We was shocked and think this time West Indies going to win the world cup. After I came home switch on the radio score was 143/7 there after India won the World Cup. It was amazing victory. Much like other night at WICC. Congradulation to the 1983 Indian team and to FFCC – you lose but you win my biggest heart. I never forget the Nad’ss’sss’ (bugger me, when ees possible to finish say these fucking name) word "We never scored well but we wont allow the oppostion team easily chase that" thats spur the all FFCC players and ther play well and won that world cup (well not quite – but shit ay). That is a good captain ship. So well done too Itch and other team players. (Posted: Sept 12, 2008,6:51 am)

Gilly Gilly Gilly boy, and his team of 2008, world cup is great. We remember jimmy amarnath and mr. sandhu that well left delivery that took gordon greenidge is wicket, but this nothing compared with boy Gilly. Give Gilly paji the due respect, no two ways asked. What he did last week to world cricket, i reckon no one ever did winning a world cup as good as Gilly at WICC. Period. Stop. Full. Paji for PM - no question asked. give him the respect. That boy Gilly paji boy = R E S P E C T(Posted: Sept 12, 2008, 1:49 pm)
