Indian Fans & Indian Cricket

Don't Buy products endorsed by cricketers..
Sachin should retire..
Indian Cricket is in Dumps
Players care about nothing but money...
Uff.... Can we give it a break people? Even i am a die-hard Cricket fan, i follow cricket as you all do, i am utterly disappointed with the dismal show by our cricketers in the World Cup but i still love my cricket team and i m not ditching them coz they had a bad tournament. Tell me something, does Sachin or Dravid come and tell ur PM to throw you out of your job when you make all those mistakes in your coding? Give them a break cricket is their profession and like any other profession they are absolutely allowed to have a bad day. Just that our guys had a couple of bad days at the wrong time.
All of us say that our guys concentrate on making money and in modelling and cricket is just their hobby. If you are so sure about such stuff prove it and stop using those products. Sachin has hundreds and hundreds of followers and that is teh reason he is being asked to endorse so many products. If you are not happy with Sachin you can stop using it,but dont make statements like advertisement is his primary motto. In all Software companies every team will have 1 or 2 people who would do the extra bit of arranging birthday parties or having fun and stuff, can you make a statement like these people don't work. You can't right? Because thats something they do extra, it will be ridiculous if you say i will not attend that party. Its the same. Thats something extra they do. You cannot expect cricketers practising 24*7 365 days, i dont think even you work like that.
I would rather say the players have to dump the fans, instead of we dumping them. We are the absolute reason for their horrid performance. Can we all feel what would have been on their mind when they took the field for Lanka's match. The first thought would have been, if i fail today what would the fans do to my family and properties. And there is nothing wrong with that thought too. The fear of the failure was gripping them so hard that they could hardly concentrate on the game. Did any cricketer ask us to treat them like GODs? No. Do they tell us leave all that you do and follow how we play? No. It is our mistake that we make GODs out of human beings and then blame them for failing.
Whole of India is crying for a change in the team, Okie a new team comes plays well for 3 series u make new GODs, then they fail and you again dump them is it? One of the National daily had today mentioned that Sachin's position in this team is under question and he needs to replaced by some player.They had mentioned a guy of abt 20 / 21 years of age. What are you all joking at? India fails if Sachin fails, this was yet again proved in this world cup. I am not saying sachin played great this world cup but still he cannot be replaced. That would be like having 100 sleeping tablets,when you already falling into a well.
Lets be logical friends, Cricket is just a game and not a war. And for the people playing it, its their profession. They will have their bad days like you or me can have in our professions. Stop acting as if they have lost a war and made the country go into dumps. They have just lost a tournament. All those Software Engineers, Politicians, Ex-Players and every other person look at urself first. You probably do more mistakes than the Cricket team collectively does. When the cricketers don't comes calling for your head, you also better behave professionally and sensibly.

If just sitting at home and watching the match, we are feeling all these disappointments think of the players, who have gone all the way there with the hope to win the cup. There were tears in their eyes that day. I didnt see any of them dancing happily because they lost. They are more than disappointed than all of our disappointments put together. If you can tell the team, its okie boys, we can do it next time else please go and do waht you are being paid to do! Else some other team mate of yours might tell you are not working and cost you your job. The perfect Indian Mentality!

To the Team:

Guys, i still believe you all tried your best but that just was not our day. We will take the lessons and work for the future.

All the Best!
