The latest fever in town is ICC World cup 2007 , this time spreading from the grounds at West Indies to the rest of the world.
As expected, back in India, the enthusiasm grew, the hopes were built sky-high, cos the team is to bring the Cup home...the advertisements, songs, videos,the street's energy all at its peak, all over-done, as though this sport was going to save the nation from recurring crimes, corrupted governmental bodies, poverty, hunger and all the injustice!
The result of energy and time and money of one nation on one team to bring "glory" is a failed debut match yesterday! What will the team excuse themselves of being in a form worse than a much younger, less experienced team? the opening batsman is out of form and wickets fall like pack of cards towards the end of the match...what a shame! The captain wants to call it a "bad dream"! Wow! we train sportsmen to be out of form and call it a dream, a sequence of uncontrolled actions...can we check if the coaching is done for putting up a good game on the field or making excuses to the public?
R I D I C U L O U S -- that's the appropriate word! I stopped supporting the game itself when the disgusting politics and business of the background were revealed about a decade back...I hate it, I will continue hating it!
Loathe the sad team, who talk big, disappoint supporters, corrupt themselves and look for fame without performance!!!
