The team that played in the WC would have been picked by most of us. We have real dearth of talent compared with Australia or even Sri Lanka. In fast,lively and seaming wickets even their second string teams could have beaten us. The problem is the hype that surrounds our "super stars". They are paper tigers overseas. It is our mistake. Other teams have a team rather than one man armies. It has taken a child (Bangla Desh) to point out that the "emperor" (you know who - pls do not come out with arms swinging wildly - has no clothes.

As the reality continues to irritate us, we either wail awayor take calm and corrective steps. Be the change as the father of the nation exhorted us. If we find the system rotten, let us change it. Yes, you and I. Let us get out of the comfort zones. If we cannot get up and dirty our hands, please accept the present administrators to do the job. Please stop the name calling. Yes, it is very hurtful, but India seems to have lost to a worthy team, Bangla Desh and of course Sri Lanka. The reality is they are deserving ones based on our present form. We have work to do. Let us not wail away. The world cup will end in couple of weeks but the hurt will continue provided we can act properly and move on.
