i am as hurt as anyone about the team losing, but why are we barking up the wrong tree? why are we venting our spleen against sposorships? its a legitimate way of players making money. if they appear in 1,99,99,999 ads then its their business- literally. the players get ads for their good performances- if they don%u2019t, the sponsors disappear. A player like Tendulkar gives a certain no.of days every year to his sponsors. Which would be less than %u2013 arguably %u2013 10% days a year. Now the balance 90% is for cricket. So why blame the ads? theres no proven science that curtailing ads would make them play better. yes, we can comment on their on ground performances. not rake up how they make money every time they lose. we readily forgive politicians for taking bribes ; none get beaten up / attacked for any scandal. yet people throw stones at player property. uncalled for. Laloo prasad , who has squandered a state makes a juvenile comments that he can bat better. why are we not after these guys for multi million scandals that are even more impt ? once again, lets not let the players go without accountability. but giving suggestions about banning ads ( or the ludiculous 1 ad-per player) is not the way ahead . there are a lot of yesteryear cricketers in sorry financial affairs and ' benefit' matches are played for them. we dont want a repeat , do we? Let comments / suggestions on the world cup defeat not be regressive.

Your suggestion is really appreciated....when u have such lot of good suggestion..why are u timid in disclosing your name.....Dear if u say something ..say boldly like a man...or what if u r a woman or girl...be bold especially when what u say is really very good.....Yes friends..show the same spirit to handle the politician when they are caught bribed or scam etc...See please let us open our eyes and realise in cricket the "THE WIN" is not totally in our control....it is a war which any one can win.....but the bribe of politician is not a thing which happens "out of control". When they take bribe or do some scam ...they in fact plan it properly and execute it...so who should we attack this poor ( though so irritating) cricketers who are undergoing one of the leanes patch of the cricketing times in this world...or the few politician who are looting the country with scams and brides....( Pl mind I said "a few"....not all the politicians......I respect all political parties and all good politician....goood day
