Ever wondered why the God fails to answer our prayers?

Millions of Lankans prayed at temples, offered pujas. And more millions from India joined their neighbours in praying. Probably few millions from Pakistan also offered namaz!
They all prayed for Sri Lanka’s victory over Australia in the just concluded
Cricket World Cup final. But God betrayed them all! Australians still won the final to lift the trophy for the record third time in a row.(Only the West Indian team of 70s and early 80s could reach anywhere near this record!)

This Australian win is just unbelievable, if you look at the way they dominated the game throughout the tourney. Don’t forget, the tourney stretched to one and half month! It’s not any easy task. This is called CONSISTENCY! They just ignored the reputation of teams & players and just focused to play ruthless cricket. Amazing!

More amazing if you consider, they had started the tourney under tremendous amount of pressure, after losing the top rank to South Africa. And look at the team which replaced them at the top, South Africa! They struggled so much, even to reach the semi-final. And in the semi-final, they never looked better than Bangladesh! Sri Lanka can take pride for making it to the final and giving a fitting reply to the champions, in the whole tourney they are the only team which showed any prospect of defeating this Aussie team!

Now, do you still wonder why the God fails to answer our prayers?
I have a feeling that even the God bets on Australian team!
Haha!
