RE:RE:Mental Defeat or Victory
by Brijesh K on Oct 16, 2007 03:24 AM

also we have only one sport cricket that is why we are behind mentally and the australians have other sports agreed that is an hint of advancing the country. That is another fundamental problem and another topic discussion altogether. But in cricket the only one sport we can beat them miles if we want to and show them just like brazilians show the world their passion in soccer although they lose they are still consider the champs and masters of the game dont they. I want India to be like that in cricket or atleast any nation from subcontinent will do for me but not australia. Ian healy once said that sri lanka are true champions after their team was defeated in srilanka shortly after the world cup. See they were seeing failure back then. But then one great man named steve waugh changed the complexion of the game in the matches against South africa. Australia since then have never looked back, A prime example of a person changing the system to be regarded as bosses for the next several years. Even then steve waugh was sacked but I think from then on the team Australia are winning matches based on scaring others and dominance. Pakistan with their present team can still defeat them clinically. India ok bowlers is always a perennial problem but we can do it with all rounders like pathan and bowlers like rp and zaheer. India breathe cricket and the world if they say cricket it should be synonymous to India.
