The most rotten article i have seen . he should continue his novel work ,not columnist. No brain he has got whatever he said just senseless.
We need to treat crickets in this fashion after all the loosing a match lousily carelessly pathetically equivalently to Betrayal..
He must have got some serious tokens of good handsome gifts to write this article in a novelist sick way .
Indian cricket team performs only under pressure. Many time players said we play at best under pressure .Now this pressure could be anything and in this case it is Public cricket fans Pressure ,take it and learn to handle it ,don't blame it.

It's a good article. I don't think anyone can call it anti India. Most of it are facts. Thanks for posting it. However, the author shows ignorance while writing the article too. It is not fair to compare Indian cricket and English football. Firstly, the level of dirty politics being played in Indian cricket by certaing people(Read:Greg,Dungarpur,LM,Bindra), is far greater than anything that exists in English football. Watching this politics on news channels on a daily basis creates the suspicion in the minds of Indian cricket fans about the credibility of the player's presence in the Indian team. I don't imply that Dhoni doesn't deserve a place in the team, infact he is the best we have today. However he has been unfairly singled out by some fans for the wrongdoings of others. Secondly, India is a different culture. Have you seen the English dancing crazily like us at their weddings. They don't! Because we are more passionate and emotional about things we love and admire. So lets not be ashamed of it. Inspite of these traits, we should learn to be self diciplined and not destruct anyone's private property or family. The Dhoni incident should be condemned in the harshest words but lets not spare the guilty. Punish them by cricketing means and by them I mean anyone guilty. Noone should be sacrosanct.
