Its a game of course!!
by Robin Mitra on Apr 04, 2007 10:30 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

It is the attitude which matters! It is true we lost and lost badly. But any player worth his salt will tell you that no one goes to the crease to get out the first ball. His own personal integrity too is at stake. Let us not behave like a bunch of kids. We have not lost a war to Pakistan. And let me ask - How many of the people who are castigating the Indian team bayed for the blood of the soldiers of Northern Light Infantry ( a pak army regiment) when they returned the dismembered body of Lt. Saurabh Kalia. Our anger and outrage should be directed against such incidents of paramount national importance rather than a mere cricket match. Grow up Indians!!

I fully agree with you Robin. If player starts under performing, he will not get selected in team over the time. If he is not selected he will not get any advertisement contract. I don't think any player will like to lose advertisement contracts. I am sure, forget about general public, not even many journalists and TV news presenters who frequently change their opinions about players after every match or two have knowledge about Lt.Saurah Kalia.

That is no big deal Anu. It's obvious to the wise, but he doesn't understand why we are so angry. It's not for losing, but for showing lack of fight.
