are we crazy ? getting ready to denounce and lynch the indian cricketers ? its a game damn it , no matter how passionately you feel about the game , its still a game . you don't win every time , and thats why its fun to watch .its the uncertainty of not knowing who will play how and who will win . thank god we only play cricket which only a handful of other countries play and our probablity of winning is higher , and not football ,which almost the whole world plays.
these are a good bunch of guys who play the best game they can , they win sometimes , lose sometimes . lets not make their temples when they win , and burn their effigies and houses when they lose . they are not irresponsible , you are .
you want to find someone to blame ? blame the bcci , which fixes 365 matches in a year , treating these players like machines ( even machines have metal fatigue , damn it ) , or blame the media for whipping up your emotions 200 times in a day , or blame yourself for believing that you have a right to this yo-yo reactions because you are so passionate about the game ( sachin never promised you that he will score a hundred hundreds ? ) as my friend sunil gawaskar once said , most of us haven't even played galli cricket to know how it is psychologically and physically , to be out there day after day and play the best in the world .
come on year , give them a break . unless of course , you have never faltered and fallen flat occasionally in your professional or personal lives .( it will be intersting to ask your wife , won't it ? )
