Let's start producing BRAVES once again!
by mukund Kumar on Mar 24, 2007 06:36 PM   Permalink

I was going through the article in India Today, the edition published just after the parliament bomb attack, and seen a sentence said by the terrorists while leaving the people from the hijacked plane that "Go and tell Indian mothers to produce BRAVES". I felt a bit bad and satisfied myself saying that there may be some diplomatic/political limitations to give a hard answer to the hijackers.
But after loosing the match yesterday at Trinidad, I'm forced to think upon the statements gave above by the terrorists. Let's think is it real that we have stopped producing BRAVES? We are the second biggest population of the world and can't we get 11 people out of it to face the players from other less populated countries? I don't think that Australians or Sri Lankans are super cricketer by birth. They are also doing the same strategy of selection, training and other as we do. Then Why BCCI strategies are becoming failure all the times and every time while they don't have limitation of funds.
Or else finally, we should stop participating in any sports and utilize the same fund somewhere else. In which field of sports we are doing outstanding? Hockey is our national game, we damn failure there. Football, no one is remembering us while they discuss about football. In Olympics we are going and getting a bronze and becoming proud.
India we are not to be underestimated like this. Either Indian sportsman should give
us the proud as India should have or they should just shut-up.
