World Cup matches make the India public euphoric witness a match offers two fold advantages .one is witnessing the match and the players skills and the other is all excitement and seeing the public go mad. I got an opportunity to see the India-South Africa match that was played at Nagpur. I have flown specially from Bidar to see the match. The stadium was packed to capacity;the voice not an interspace each ball bowled by Indian bowlers and it runs scored by the Indians made people hoot , shout ,clapand wave the Indian flag. Master blaster Sachin Tendulkar scored 111 runs and it was an electrifying performance. Watching it was sheer fun. I thoroughly enjoyed the match.
