Really Sad
by C H Srinivas on Mar 19, 2007 12:52 PM

I am feeling terribly sad. Real cause of his death is yet to be established, but it is clear that it has to do with the pressure of failure and backlash expected from cricket crazy public.
Media and commercial interests are driving the craze to un-reasonable limits and win or lose is being associated with country%u2019s pride. All those who really love the game should understand that after all it is a game and should take win or lose with equal measure. I enjoy cricket and want our team to win, but I strongly condemn the acts of burning effigies, throwing on stones at cricketers%u2019 house because we lost one game. It is easy to sit in the comfortable our houses, eating snacks and downing colas and to comment. We need to give support to our team particularly when they are down and not to burden them with un-necessary pressures.
