Indian team members arrival
by dhriti basu mallik on Mar 30, 2007 09:25 PM

Hey guys Ganguly is the only one who arrived in broad daylight. He was cheered. I agree not a very nice idea after the team got eliminated.
Now lets see Dravid n Kumble arrived at night, after the loss no one was interested.
Shewag n Dhoni did not arrive in their home towns we would have love to see what happened if they did in their home town.
Same goes for any cricketer. Look guys a cricketer is always more loved from where he hails. Its normal. I also agreed with Ganguly its more fanatical, but then he has to go through much more than any current cricketer.
I am sure a guy from Bangalore defends Dravid with the same zeal as a guy from Kolkata does for Ganguly as a guy from Chandigarh does for Yuvraj. Its normal and nothing wrong in it. Its like the people from that part thinks they are part of something big and in India it does not get bigger than Cricket and then the world cup.
For the present situation you can say its a sigh of relief from the Ganguly fans that their hero has scored a few runs albeit for a losing cause. They think its their pressure. So lets not make a big deal about this.
