You can't blame Chapell too much. The fact is that the "Boys in Blue" are, well, a disgrace. The media is a problem too: it lionises cats. The camera beams into serious faces with sweat dripping from the forehead. There is loud sound in the background and bingo, ganguly has hit a six. Problem is, the sixes and the mean faces are just for money-minting ads. In the real life, little Bangladesh whips our so-called heroes black and blue. Then Sri Lanka smash them to trash. I think the media should start higlighting India's performance viz a vis the big teams. We will sulk to realise that in most cases, the other team has beaten us at least 50% more times. Sports channels keep showing highlights of games india has won, forgetting to mention that the other teams have beaten us more than we have beaten them. But public memory if short; wait till the next triangular series win on home soil and the world cup fiasco will be forgotten. Also forgotten will be the fact that the "boys in blue" are a bunch of over-hyped, grossly over-paid and over-pampered chickens. Long live Indian cricket. Indian cricket is dead.
