Musings of an Ardent Cricket Fan!!

Its been a real busy week, i sleep less than 6 hours a day. i love working harder & the job hunt is solely the prime purpose for me as of now.I wanted to reserve this post to the weekend but wanted to make this post in the middle of a very busy day @ school... i dedicate this post to my father... the ardent cricket fan i appreciate the most..no matter whatever crappy position indian cricket team is in he will continue watching the match..its not just my father there are millions of fans like that in India where cricket is rooted in our blood..

What did this indian cricket team do to fulfill the so much enthusiastic supporters???(please dont mention the context of T20 Cricket in here folks!!! i am talking about proper cricket here!) answer is absolutely nothing..every eve of a cricket match india plays generates n reviews in every news channel..create waves everywhere right from a barber shop to a cafetaria to a corporate workhouse everyone starts surmising about the match..i know the stake is higher..pressure on the indian team is enormous..but every now & then indian team does one thing best..crash out!!

This post comes from a typical australian supporter... i am not trying to reflect my views on this post..i am just trying to rede the general views of a typical desi..i tried calculating the expenditure deposited on cricket in india...stopped doing it as it went to a real overwhelming amount of money.. indian team & indian cricket board easily one of the richest in the world isnt doing enough justice to the amount of money deposited on them.. they have this habit of banking on bermuda to clear their way in the world cup & now they have transferred that heirloom to pakistan(seriously of all teams???)

I for one feel that people should stop caring about cricket. cricket is the main detrimental factor in the development of other sports in country..the reason we suck in world sports..olympics..all because of the one major factor..many people just become way too ignorant to know atleast a little info about our other fellow sportsmen even.. as inferred from the champions trophy and what will be inferred from the upcoming world cup it can be deduced that indian team will keep flopping big time.. indian fans who are fuming with anger easily get subsided by a single bilateral series victory and the whole process starts all over again before another major tournament.. its high time people start thinking.. i am tired arguing about this to so many insolent idiots who cant even perceive a clear demarcation between passion, performance & personal choice & people who so highly think of themselves as cricket analysts without giving a damn to other's opinions at all  ..i really miss having TG & Sv with me right now..i am thoroughly pissed about this & the people who made me put this post right now in the middle of a very busy day..

God Save Indian Cricket!!!

P.S: I followed every ODI & Test played between 1995-2003 & i believe i do have some knowledge of cricket! i stopped following cricket ardently after the departure of Brian Charles Lara & Steve Waugh & lost prime interest in indian cricket team after the fiascos in which DADA and Wall got humiliated very badly after doing so much for the team.
