It was less than a week ago I had an argument over India's loss to Bangladesh.
My worst fears came true today when India just now lost to Sri Lanka.I have seen enough Indian cricket (seen as in watched ball by ball) for 2 decades and it was with practical forethought that I was condemning India playing so badly against Bangladesh. (I said something to the effect of quote 'if Ind wins SL, everything is fine, but if Ind loses to SL, we shall know the value of the Bangladesh match!' unquote)
Philosophically thinking,(which is what is left to do now ) sometimes the best opportunities come free and come easy too,we always kick them away waiting for better chances,only to be fooled and deprived of the bare essentials later on...
I don't blame the Indians for today,I can't forgive them for the 17th!
now I only hope someone has fixed the Bangladesh vs Bermuda match....does life give a second chance ?
(not that my opinions matter to anyone...)

i totally agree... u know i went a step or two more, spent $200 fixed up a new dish to get exclusive cricket coverage here in the middle of nowhere. and there they were not even giving the easiest of fight to a trim SL team. i mean i dont think the SL team were devastating, they were playing it well. all that was needed was the fighting attitude. therez way too much money and attitude in this business now, i still wonder why they still have an audience...
to be frank, after watching some of the blood thirsty NBA and the NFL teams here (who apparently also make good money) i cudnt but wonder why the loyal cricket religion in India gets so much beating all the time... so guys its time to stop noticing these big fat idiots, just turn off ur TV and give ur time to charity - it feels better!
well said kattricker... on a parallel note I feel in India we must start appreciating and playing other sports with equal interest from now on...
hi... i seriously soemtimes wonder if we are attaching too much time, efforts and money on what is just another game.. when India wins theres lot of media coverage glorifying them to the demo god status and when there is a loss the same media spends even more time vilifying those folks.. I think the bad Indian performance is more out of the pressure created by the media over the players in the name of the millions of fans..
I still remember the many days when many of our mood swings bordered on the Indian play and thinking of it i feel it would have been much better had i didnt attach so much importance of some thing which is meant to be just a "SPORT".
i sincerely hope if we start just paying enuf attention it deserves things will get to become better.. so lets start giving just the attention it deserves and things should happen for better...
i was devasted at 830 Am after staying up thru the night!!!!!
Very disappointing, and now that Bermuda lost, the last nails been driven right in!!!!!!
Its not a time for reaction just yet. There iss to be a process of healing and then the WC shd be dissected to see what went wrong and what could have been done better. Am writing up one for my blog on this!!!
