senility seems to have caught up
by Krishnamoorthy Srinivas on Apr 23, 2007 02:38 AM

Gkr cut a very sorry figure with his earlier David Hookes comments, specifically after our Indian cricket team became determined to cut short their carribean tour. Nothing succeeds like success and I guess Australians deservedly gave back a mouthful to Gavaskar. Somehow the saying that people in glass houses should not throw stones at others who live in stone houses does not seem to get applied to Gkr's case. Ponting's seething remarks to first help out the Indian team before opinionating on others seemed very apt. I wish our folks could divert all their energy to improve the team instead of focusing attention on others. Its such a shame that a nation of 1 billion cannot produce a cricket team that can enter super 8 in a game that is supposed to be the most popular, leave alone an olympic medal. We though have been consistently producing good critics of the game. Its time for some radical system-overhauling changes that creates good competing sportsmen like China. We need to grow enough to appreciate critical opinions on ourselves (like how Chappel used to !) and accept honset opinions.
