It is not defeat we worry about. It is the way in which they performed. a team with 7 batsmen 1 4 batsmen whose avg >40 2 5 Star players (sachin, dada, dravid, dhoni, yuvraj) leving that horrible sehvag. compiled a total of 191 which is disgraceful.

As far as our support is concerned. They dont need and they dont care. All they care is corporate endorsements.

I'm amused and surprised by the amount of time,money and energy that Indians (and the nation in total) wastes on Cricket !
First they pick them and put the cricketers on their heads.., making them celebrities and superstars, doing Poojas and Havans (the jaws of my colleagues in US just dropped when they heard this !!). The media and the press and the companies have made cricket an Industry.
Why is a sport so god-damn important for us ? Will these "cricket-fanatics" put their time in some community service or protesting the corrupt politicians ?

Now tell me that you dont like the sport. you should be a rare species. It is just the same as American football. It has the largest viewership. We might be doing over the top like pujas that is our culture. So tell your US colleagues that it is no different from a ball game where your fans drink and celebrate, where as our do pujas and celebrate.
