The Sachin Sourav fans; (Bloody hell these fans only need to be hung down the fans)
How many more yrs are we going to rely on the same old cricketers. Even Kapil found it tough to retire coz of the moolah. Are we worried abt the Indian Cricket as a whole or are we gonna support individual for personal whims and fancies. It's time we groomed young players and stop crying over spilt milk. It's an eye opener. It's come at a right time, much much before the 20-20 world cup and the bigger tournaments to follow. We all know we were one of the worst fielding teams in this world cup, bettering only Bermuda i guess.
The amount of money in this sport is damaging the sport. Truth hurts but it's better to know the truth from someone close rather than lose again to a "Bangladesh".
Thankyou Chappel, you did your best, you could avoided certaing things which the nation can't digest easily. However, hats off for the effort. I am sure there would be more nations awaiting to use your skills and guidance.
Thankyou Sachin for your 17 yrs to Indian cricket. It's time you atleast gave up the ODI's. YOu know it, your body wont be able to take the burden" Groom the youngsters, may be groom more Sachin's. Play the tests. But for heavens sake Sachin Ganguly hang up your boots from the ODI's. Unfortunately we do not have strong gentlemen in the board to have the courage to remove Sachin, unlike the Aussies who dint care a damn whether it was Steve Waugh or Mark. When people say we are not like the Aussies to behave that way, I feel like showing the finger to them and telling thats why we'l never play hard and committed like the Aussies.
Selectors, go to the tribes, you'l find many extreme fast bowlers and strong lads, whom you can teach "Cricket", iff you can.
