Of all the things said and written about victory, that it brings with it a sense of perspective is certainly our favorite. Perspective can be quite paradoxical. On the one hand, with it comes a clarity of thought that enables a rational dissection of a team's strengths and weaknesses, unclouded by emotion that often accompanies failure, paving the way for further progress. Little wonder then that teams believe winning can become a habit. On the other hand however, it evokes feelings of nostalgia - of days gone by, when things weren't necessarily as pleasant as they are in the present. With a successful season behind us, it is the nostalgic in us that looks back at the days gone by, when we were but a motley group of enthusiastic cricketers.

This article can easily qualify for the GMAT/GRE Reading Comprehension section ;)
very nicely written.
Actually, It would! It's a perfect example of how *NOT* to write. The sentence construction is distracting at best. If you've used more than one comma in a sentence, you're fucked! But this style is more conversational, more like something you might find in informal prose.
honestly, still i dont understand most of it...... lol..
I believe we are still "a motley group of enthusiastic cricketers" who now know the sweet taste of victory!! Also we have a fair distance to go before we call this season "successful".
