I know today is a big day in Indian cricket today. It was today, that we won the world cup by beating the mighty west indies. It is indeed a red letter day in Indian cricket.

However, how proud should we be while celebrating the silver jubilee? Its not like independence day or the republic day that we can remember the moment and feel proud of it. Does one see that we haven't won the world cup for the last 25 years... Reached the semis once and the finals once. Thats it. Now is that something we have to be proud of or ashamed of?

Considering that India is the super force of the cricketing world, its sad that we have won the world cup only once. So many states have horrible infrastructure and the money is divided among a few corrupt administrators. Agreed, Indian cricket is on the upswing now but that does not give the clear picture

Oz have won the world cup n number of times. Imagine how many times they'l have their silver jubilee celebrations
