There have been days when after seeing my team do well I keep thinking back about the game and have a stupid smile on my face for a few days. There have also been days when I just couldn't look back at the game. Felt horrible for days afterwards. Have you ever felt like that? What would be your best and worst days as a fan?
Mine would be
Best:
The desert storm match and the finals afterwards.
The T20 finals.
vs Pakistan 2003 WC
All of these were pretty awesome days. Sachin being divine and India winning a WC. What more could I ask for.
Worst:
Against Sri Lanka 1996 WC. First time I understood Sachin wasn't invincible. I didn't understand cricket much then and thought that it was some divine right of India's to win the WC.
Against Sri Lanka 2007 WC. The Indian team for the WC was a very strong one (at least on paper) and I had high hopes on them. The Bangla match I put down to over confidence and was quietly confident that India would rise to the occasion against Sri Lanka and get into the next round. India lost and Sachin scored 0. A really bad day. Didn't open cricinfo for a long time after that game.
vs Pakistan Chennai 1999. I was at the stadium and dancing on the chairs when Sachin was batting and then a ridiculous collapse.
