regarding world cup early exit
by Malay saurabh on Apr 09, 2007 01:05 PM   Permalink

it is true that indian team's early exit from the world cup has come as a wake up call for the BCCI. AND i am really satisfied and contented that players as well as coach have been thrashed for such a disgusting performance. I THINK it is time we took some measure to stop all those trends which hinder our being professionalised. we,people of india, are also responsible for such a fate which has befall on us. we,which includes media as well, have reduced these players who were being worshipped some days ago, to joker. how else can we explain the hype created just before commencement of world cup. it is no secret that there are teams which deserve the cup more than us. as reward must go to the best and when it comes to competition it does not matter whether or not we have produced nuclear bombs or for that matter we do have reservation system to honour affirmative action. if we keep behaving as a bunch of crazy people just to see our team fare well it just can not do. we must behave responsibly and cast aside all the prejudices. it is not just cricket but it is case with every sport being played in india. we must take on the challenges head on and stop behaving like cricket crazy nation. till sometime ago the same SACHIN tendulkar was the greatest god of the religion called cricket. and now he is being reviled as being mafia by some of opportunist. is it not craziness? the same status is enjoyed by andrew flintoff in england. but he is not being decreed there and i believe if india is to win next world cup or thereafter we need to shed this mentality which will of no use to anyone and will push the indian cricket(sports) to its all time low. so if i were asked to rate the cause it will look in the following way:

1}people

2}media[in this age of 24@7 hour news channel which needs to churn out news without taking into consideration its authenticity to keep up their TRP rating and hence call for monitoring agency to look into the problem]

3}bcci{for lack of vision and commitment}

4}lack of amenities for the sportsman other than those representing india.

5}players{for not being lived upto the expectation of fans and less concentration towards their game despite bening well equipped}
