RE:Excessive Media coverage
by Tanwir on Mar 26, 2007 01:34 PM

Fully agree with you Pen. I live in Australia. Here they have one report in the news that Aus thrashed SA and thats it. Not 1 hour of analysing how good we played. Same when Aus lose they have one news story and thats it.

Colin Croft said that there is just way too much pressure on the Indian team (http://www.telegraphindia.com/1070326/asp/sports/story_7566127.asp). I told my wife exactly the same words on saturday night when we were analysing our defeat. The weight of expectations from the billion fans, million dollar sponsorships and shark-like media is just too much. If you watch the Ind vs SL match carefully no one was playing to their ability. Everyone was fearing defeat too much. Something has to be done about it. THe expectations wont change, we need a good psychologist perhaps. Sandy Gordon?
