The big 3: I think we are pathetic

If these three big players were in the team, we would have cursed them, now that they opted out, we still curse them. Its not them, its us who need to be cursed anyway as we don't even need a reason to spit venom anymore. These guys have all done a lot for India, but they realized that they are nearing the final moments. 20-20 is a different ball game and needs fresh legs, fresh minds and fresh approach. The three being senior thinkers felt that this could be a good tournament where the juniors could take over the mantle. And since its a new version of game, there wont be too much expected out of this tournament (compared to WC or ICC trophy) as the cup itself is an experiment. So they decided to opt out and allow an entirely new brigade to get exposure to a competitive tournament. Now we make so wonderful interpretations out of it. We just need something to fight, abuse and heckle each other. If its not Sachin's form, Saurav's selfishness, Rahul's bad captaincy, Greg Chappel's finger....we will still have reasons to abuse and fight. This forum will always have remarks from derogatory to absolutely ridiculous. Long live rediff readers...!!!
