Cricket ... Cricket !!

Indian cricket team's shocking exit from the wold cup was one of the most disappointing day of any indian fan this year. We started of as almost the favorites after australia and ended up on the flight with Pakis.

Everybody started shouting to axe all the senior players because india lost in the very first round.

Sachin Tendulkar once regarded as the greatest by the indians and the world alike, sachin who has created every possible batting record and the india wants him to retire from cricket. Can we justfy our behavoir ? Are we right in blaming the greatest batsmen ever ? Is this the end of Sachin Tendulkar ?

I don't think so, If you wanna replace a batsmen like sachin whom will you replace him with in the first place or for that matter Saurav and Dravid one of the best bestmen of all time. Does it make sense to axe all the the current players and get a new team ? Nope.

Also another problem as Pataudi puts it 'who has the guts to sack sachin tendulkar'.

I believe the team that was selected for the world cup was one of the best indian team ever, its just that they didn't play like a team that day. Its a game it happens.

On the other hand half the fans are after Chappell's life and he was smart enough to resign and leave, smart bloke ain't he ?? especially after what happened to Bob. Now he realised first hand what is cricket like in sub continent :)) .

Indian fans say Gregie made the team very unstable and experimented way too much with the team, Well I agree a little with them as definitely some of our players got screwed, for instance Pathan, what happened to him ? he tried to concentrate on batting hit some real big scores and bowling went for a complete toss, now he bowls slower than Kumble *LOL*.

So what do we do now sit and cry and kick all the senior players out and seal off all their bank accounts and make them bankrupt till they win the next world cup ? Well loads of disappointed indian fans will agree with this idea :)

Well I believe we retain the current team and try and resolve the issue and give a bigger role to captain. I still read here and their the 1992 paki players talk about imran khan and they say when imran was there, he is the board of director, he is the coach, he is the mentor and he is the captain. India needs somebody like him. Sachin cannot be made the captain, I don't think rahul is aggressive enough to be a captain, so the only one left I think who can lead india is Ganguly not a imran khan material but a good captain though. But the problem is all these three great will not be there for the next world cup which is gonna be held in the subcontinent.

So lets keep our cool, cheer our team and pressurise the BCCI to keep players in control and keep their salaries performance based and try and win as many tournaments as possible before the next world cup and hopefully win the world cup as well.

Well I must admit I might lose all my interest if Australia wins another world cup. No no, no australia this time. As far as the world cup has gone this time Australia looks ruthless with their opponents :( . They believe in complete destruction of their opponents and they might(hopefully not) end up winning the cup. As for me my bet is on Sri Lanka or Bangaldesh (ha ha High hopes I have !!).

Lets keep our finger crossed. :)
