Indian team members arrival
by dhriti basu mallik on Mar 30, 2007 09:25 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Hey guys Ganguly is the only one who arrived in broad daylight. He was cheered. I agree not a very nice idea after the team got eliminated.
Now lets see Dravid n Kumble arrived at night, after the loss no one was interested.
Shewag n Dhoni did not arrive in their home towns we would have love to see what happened if they did in their home town.
Same goes for any cricketer. Look guys a cricketer is always more loved from where he hails. Its normal. I also agreed with Ganguly its more fanatical, but then he has to go through much more than any current cricketer.
I am sure a guy from Bangalore defends Dravid with the same zeal as a guy from Kolkata does for Ganguly as a guy from Chandigarh does for Yuvraj. Its normal and nothing wrong in it. Its like the people from that part thinks they are part of something big and in India it does not get bigger than Cricket and then the world cup.
For the present situation you can say its a sigh of relief from the Ganguly fans that their hero has scored a few runs albeit for a losing cause. They think its their pressure. So lets not make a big deal about this.

He's proved that he's a disgraceful player. In his place, any nation loving player would have first apologized to the fans "Sorry, I did not play well and could not come up to your expectations"

But this guy - NO SHAME. Battisi nikal kar aa raha hai airport se baahar!

I am from B'lore and I don't defend Dravid. I am sure there a plenty who do. He failed to get the best out of the team. If there is anotehr player in the team that can take over the captainship, I am for it. But, the fact of the matter is, there is none! Unless you intend to take the Indian team back in times and appoint a Sachin or Saorav as captain. At some point in the future Yuvraj should be the captain. So, they better start grooming him now.

However, to say that Ganguly should get this "Warm Welcome" is a disgrace and is typical of people. He failed (may be intentionally) in the very match that mattered most to our country. And, Dravid didn't.
