The Crap Shoot
by Amitabh Sinha on Mar 28, 2007 12:04 PM

Amazing how much wind is being released by how many people looking for scapegoats. Let's face it, they DIDN'T perform, as Kapil Dev says, did Rahul Dravid and Greg Chappel ask our players to lose their perspective or to throw their wickets away or to become weak at the knees. And as to the so called fans baying for blood and blaming advertising, pray tell me who eats up the advertising in the first place? who elevated these guys to godlike status? let's face it folks, we built unrealistic dreams and piled on pressure on a fragile non-performing team. WE build bad pitches in India so we can win at least here, and then blame the players for not being able to perform abroad. All this talk about Ganguly - both the positive and the negative - he's a great player but an old and tiring one, the fire is gone from his belly too hence the tame capitulation when it mattered most. Everyone has contributed to this, you, me and the man at the corner tea stall as well as the great Indian team. Let's move on instead of indulging in our national pasttime of finding someone to blame because we screwed up.......
