Team India
by rkmurthi on Oct 31, 2006 09:32 AM   Permalink

The caption Team India for the cricket team is a misnomer. Given the way they perform, it would be more appropriate to name them not as a team but as a motley group and far from representing India, they reprsent themselves. It is high time India got over its insane and irrational focus on a game where we are at best mediocre, where wins are but flashes in a pan. Yes the 'wall' has full faith in the team to lose. And boy aren't we good at finding scapegoats to put the blame on. I feverently wish that the media would completely desist from givng more than the normal coverage to this game and concentrate more on the real winners in other games. Our irrationality knows no bounds, when we persist in covering the likes of Sania Mirza and Narain Kartikeyan, who come right at the bottom of their respective lists. People may not be aware that the Aussies, do not get even one tenth of the coverage in Australia as our worthless cricketers get at home. So whats all the fuss about?
