I first saw Bengal dominate the finals of Santosh Trophy against Goa, but yet bewilderingly fail to score in 120 minutes of play. Then lose out in the penalty shootouts, thanks to miserable spot kicks by Lalkamal and Safar Sardar that were saved by Goanese keeper Felix D'souza.
Later in the evening I watched India lose to England in their second super eight game. Needing 19 to win off the last over, a six from Pathan and a boundary from Dhoni couldn't do the trick as India lost by 3 runs despite having 5 wickets in hand.
It has really been a day of weird losses for the teams I support. Very weird and disheartening.

I saw both the matches. Depressing it was. The second one that is. Goa seems closer to the maternal roots. And then there is Palolem. So didn't really mourn that one :)
yes well, i was kinda hoping that Bengal would pull through. idiots they were. and India too. thoo.
