Yes, we all celebrate the victory and some might consider it as just hiccups, but at the later end of our innings, both teams were trying hard to lose the match, its just that they were better at it than us.

The way some of the players got out and some lucky lifes, we were practically throwing the match away from a winning position. Hadnt it been mindless bowling and fielding by the Caribbeans, we could have found ourselves wondering why.

Had these been any other more established team, they would have tightened the grip and we would have started to panic and panic bad. We have lost games in the past in similar pattern but luckily, we survived this time.

May be we started to come of age and managing to pull it thru, but the old habit dies hard. Losing is also a habit and our boys had a glimpse of recent past. But they were in a fighting sprit and were of winning minds, and so they managed to bring the ship home.

Or may be the Carribeans were so petrified on the prospect of an unlikely upset victory, they could not handle the pressure and we ended up getting the better of them.

Even though the victory is sweet, we should learn from our mistakes and apply ourselves in the next games. Cuz against some tougher opponents, we might find ourselves stranded in the middle of the sea and watch their ship sail away to the shores.

I think thats what the poster wanted to focus. But it didnt come out the sweet way.

So, cut him a slack for once, will ya?

Thank you. At last someone got the point and put it nicely. Much appriciated bro. Cheers.
