Unrealistic Expectations
by Jim on Oct 15, 2007 10:17 PM

Then there is the case of Yuvi. When you are delivering by the bundles, arrogance is something people will put up with. If the team is winning and you are leading them towards that win. You are motivating players, helping them out on their errors and you are really the leader, everyone will put up with your arrogance. But when you are doing none of those, you are stuck in your own world.

After hitting those 6s, Yuvi now has earned the ability to remain arrogant and stupid for the rest of the decade. This is the travesty. Dhoni during their recent conversation on NDTV talked about how Yuvi talks to younsters and how he is arrogant.

The thing about India is that, we think that is not only acceptable, it is required!!! We assume that if he does not show that kind of arrogance, he is useless. I dont really think Yuvi undestood how that smile on his face when Dhoni was describing things gave away his attitude.

It is the same with what Dhoni said after the 6th game. He thinks it is his job to protect his players. "we fieleded as well as we could". Well that shows the attitude. We cannot improve now. There is no point working on it. We are too set in our ways. If we win because someone had a great day, we will take credit for it. If not, we will continue to lose this way. I dont really know how Indians got into this kind of culture. I see it in practically everyone. "It is always going to be this way, I cannot change it!" seems to be the genral attitude.
