With India out of this world cup, cricket has become wonderfully enjoyable. What a relief ! Be it Mali's 4 wicket burst in 4 balls, Bangladesh's win against SA, Bopara's futile yet fighting half century the current world cup has seen some wonderful performances. I am sure we will see some more of these in the coming matches.
Almost everyone has been complaining about the ticket prices and near zero attendance for some of the matches. Too bad, the locals have been denied to be part of such a great spectacle. Caribbean crowds and Lankan crowds have a lot of thing in common. They enjoy the game in full josh and have never heard them misbehaving during defeats. Not like the True Desi fans :P.
The Indian Cricket Tamasha has seen some actions from the board. What the heck has happened to the so called senior players ? Why was the world's greatest batsman washing dirty linen in public ? Add to this, the hype created by our own media. Wonderful. It is a perfect setting for disaster. The board has issued show cause notices to Sachin and Yuvraj for their reports to media. Hats off to the board for treating everyone equally! Board has come out with lots of action points. I welcome those. Planning is always easier the part. The real test comes during execution and maintaining the standards. I sincerely pray we don't mess up this time with the new plans.
Sachin, show us that you can bat. Then do whatever nonsense you want to do. Look at Sanath/ Murali/Mcgrath or for that matter Paul Nixon. One should see their energy levels and spirit on the field. Too bad that none of our so called senior players have not showed the energy. I wont blame Greg for whatever he has done. These guys should earn their places and not because of their past performances. Greg wanted to bring that in place, which invariably affected these guys' comfort zones and he had to bear the brunt. Guys, Take a break or Grow up!
