So much has been said and written, so i also decided to have my say...you see I am very embarrassed that our Cricket team let me down so badly...
Once upon a time ,I was a keen India cricket follower . But over the years I have seen several occasions India snatch defeat from the Jaws of Victory and was mesmerized by this tactic. How is this possible?
Well , to know this, you have to learn from the India Cricket ...down the memory lane ( there are many times earlier as well , but I am recollecting the faster thoughts) about two years back, India cricket lost all their test matches in England... Australia Then India had "greats" in their team who performed so well that India had no option but to lose the matches. You see even in loss and failure, there was a "class".
Switch over two years later, all the greats have retired . Our "Fresh Young Greats "Cricket team is back in England.
So now we have new group of greats (fresh ones} who do not seem to know that test cricket lasts for 5 days. The new group of greats ( who also have girl friends around all time) ensured that the test match finishes in under 3 days , keeping the England players fresh by making them not play another innings.
Ah! Such great class and calibre....( I am talking about the fresh greats.... so that they have more time to spend with.......). Incidentally, this England team was beaten black and blue by Australia just under an year back . Shudder to think how this "young greats" will fare in Australia........where they tour this 2014 year end...
One Good Hearted and Great Cricketer told that These guys actually are a shame to the country, an embarassing gang of no gooders who seem to pretend to play ........ And I seem to agree with those
thoughts.
I also seem to agree that if one does not want to play 5 days test match, they should say so and restrict themselves to T20, IPL, BPL ,CPL so on on so forth , one dayers etc.,
