Loss would have been better

Indian Cricket team will never learn from its past. They just made the precise point I had raised in my last blog. Did they deserve to win the Sunday’s match? Once you have thrown the match, then don’t chase it. South Africa deserved the win. Earlier 75 runs were required from 48 balls with 2 wickets remaining and cricket nuts were talking about 50 – 60 odd runs win for India. Only nine runs were required from final over to win the match. India should have done better. Getting your rank on the top on some sponsored ratings is not an achievement but an aberration. This match clearly indicates towards the malpractices in the game of cricket.

With practically no bowler who can help India to win a match. India’s current team is overweight on batsmen, if you win, it is because of batsmen and if you lose, batsmen just felt short of the responsibility to score in abundance. 50-50 is also following practices of 20-20. Zaheer and Harbhajan are injured and family commitments respectively and put on rest for the next tournament. The bowlers who made a difference for the Indian cricket team were Ravindra Jadeja and Yusuf Pathan, the make shift bowlers and to some extent, Praveen Kumar, did tell us, he is a bowler as compared to the other two duds (Sreesanth and Ashish Nehra). Runs matter in a limited over match, we just need to restrict the other side. Lets see how far this Team goes with their batting prowess and bowling disasters.

DHONI - Keep lovin him

Riding high on the IPL fever, Indian fans expected some firing tadka of cricket or rather an extension of IPL in T20 World Cup. IPL is always interesting to watch when you see Indian faces. Indians can always able relate to them. I know they cannot? Then why T20 lost its viewership after India exited from Super 8 stage. Because Indian faces are taken over by Indian flag and everybody expects Dhoni, Rohit, Yuvraj, Gambhir, Sehwag, Raina, Tendulkar to hit sixes, but the same was missing in T20. While in IPL, you will find one of them everyday. If India team exits early, it throws heart palpitations to ICC, ESPN, Star or Sony (or whosoever is the broadcaster) and last but not the least the sponsors. Fanfare will continue to stick to Cricket, not an issue. Moreoever India is a poor country where people lack the time or the knowledge to understand more intelligent sports than cricket. Next time, Dhoni and his team will stay longer and girls will still be glued to the TV screen, who don’t even understand Cricket but to watch the uber cool hunk, MS Dhoni.

All the fans and cricketing experts had put their bets on Indian team because Indian team has maximum experience in T20 because India mat not be the birthplace of T20 format but definitely the nurturer of the same.

Too much of work always burdens a human mind and takes its toll on the body. Before getting on the ground, so much of work goes into preparation for the same. Strategizing, preparing your players (mentally and physically), knowing opponents weaknesses. To play one day of cricket you need one day of rest and two days for preparation, where do we have that much time? Reebok, Nike, Pepsi, Coke, MRF, CEAT, Airtel, LG, Samsung, Kingfisher and so on and so forth want to see their logos round the year on screen. So players have to set their profile status according to the same. Players have to work hard. But a human body has a tendency (mentally and tendency). He has emotions, desires, feelings and aspirations, no matter how big the personality is.

Dhoni is no different and our Indian team also in the same breath.

Dhoni has got to endorse more than 30 brands in a year. Although there contracts limits the number of video shoots, photo shoots and public appearances for the brand. But he still he needs for cricket, practice, strategic, promoting brands and where have you left the time for his personal life. Think of yourself as a human being. He is a genius, intelligent and an extremely lucky person. But then he is not a super human being. Please guys give him a break.

Now the bull shit media is speculating that he may lose his designation as Captain of the GREAT INDIAN CRICKET TEAM. Who is going to lead the team, Sunil Gavaskar? Ask Sunil Gavaskar, he was match winner for how many matches in his career and what his record as Captain was? Please for God Sake, all the critics, keep your fucking mouth shut. If Dhoni, a simple lad from a small town can make his own way to the top with nothing definitely to boast off and his sloppy batting technique. But he still has the aura and the personality to carry the Indian team. Don’t forget the way, he made us win the First T20 World Cup with the gully cricket team. This guy has something which he can pull off. Just give him and his brothers a break.
