A public apology is the least that we can expect from the captain and the other two stalwarts of the game, who have let down one of the most remarkable cricketing nations in the world! Of what has been a pathetic woeful display of irresponsibility, of what has been easily the worst performance ever by an Indian team at the World cup, the Indian team seems to learn, not even a hint of what we have seen again and again – shaky legs, withering courage and nail biting (literally, Rahul Dravid) under pressure from fear. Fear of what, I ask! Kapil Dev, the man who led India to it’s only World Cup victory once said “Its no use that a batsman has immense talent, what matters is, do you have the heart to go out there and play”. As hackneyed as it may seem, applies to the Indian team more than ever before as I write my comment in this state of growing rage and utter helplessness.
And now, the performance by the entire Indian team, which lacks everything except hefty paychecks, needs to be chlorinated with penalties for lost matches, punishments for underperformances and finally, a lesson that would tutor them how not to wilt like delicate flowers under the sun on the field! For God’s sake, you are sportsmen!
Look! What are those??… They look like chickens running with their heads cut off… oh I know! They are Indian fielders! And then they claim... claim to be one of the better teams! Trust me… you men in blue… if you still talk about winning… you are freakin morons!
In as much as what we have seen of you in the past few series, you have no honor! Honor is what we need more than coaches, more than practice sessions, more than the sponsor symbols on you jersey and bat. (Which was intended to hit the ball initially, but now has a different purpose! Talk about cricketing intelligence!).
Sachin Tendulkar… Now Sir, with all the respect due to you, it is high time for introspection and assess why you never perform when we need you the most. While it is understandable that you are not a machine and can’t dish out scintillating performances each time you are out there, it is perfectly sane to question your indescribable ability of not performing under crunch conditions! To add to your pathetic run of lackluster performances, I heard you, as you spat through your teeth, words of utter shamelessness, that you consider playing even in the next world cup! With all the politics that still keeps Ajit Agarkar in the team, one can only wish for a miracle, to believe India might win any world cup, or any cup in the future (unless we play Bermuda! I used to say Bangladesh!).
After all the emotional lows that we have gone through, there is absolutely nothing to be surprised about when this bunch of losers come out screaming with their noses red, that it was all the pressure that they succumbed to! Use that as an excuse till you die! I pity you, men in blue! For crying out loud, have mercy, if not honor! It is improper to think pressure caused this debacle, because you know that all we ask is for is proper entertainment! Had you lost like South Africa in 1999, we would have welcomed you liked Heroes!
It's just that I can’t simply understand! You’ve gone too far! Now, you need to reclaim your place in the hearts of the Indian people, that you have some concern, some resolve at the bottom of your hearts to cater to the expectations of a billion people who have you to look up to, in times of utter stress and distress. In this condition of downright shock, I am KO, God Luck! Coz I know only God can save us!
