Murphy's law!!!!

“Things will go wrong in any given situation, if you give them a chance.” 7.30 AM, I just lifted my head to see the time and prayed to God “Hope, it doesn’t follow the Murphy’s law and break my heart.” It was tempting for me to get up, hurry to the next room and have a look. But then, what if goes wrong? Can’t think about it. So decided to prolong as much as possible. Tried to sleep for another hour, but then thoughts were coming to my mind and disturbing me so much. Decided!!! Enough is enough!!! Let me go and see whether it has followed Murphy’s law! “God, please. After a long time, you’ve provided an opportunity to these people yesterday and please help them today also. I want to start the day on positive note and please don’t make me to feel sad. It’s a golden opportunity for us to make a mark.” With so many prayers and thoughts running through my mind, I went to next room and switched on my laptop. My mind was racing so hard to know the result and my heart was feeling warmer. Laptop took it’s own time to start cursing me how I overload them. Clicked broadband icon to bring internet connection and typed www.cricinfo.com in address bar of internet explorer. I was getting more anxious. Will we survive? Site opened and I saw the shocking headlines. “Lee rattles Indian Top order”. My heart sank. Opened scoreboard and saw 124/6. Yesterday our bowlers fought so hard and today our batters played defensively to loose the advantage. Murphy’s law!!!! Finally Indians were blown out for just 196 and with that our hopes were also blown away. Can India win a series against Australia in Australia in our lifetime??? God-Only you have replies.
