Cricket - Whom to blame???

Indian cricket association and few more countries were protesting for the entry of (before World Cup '07) mediocre team (viz. Bangladesh, Ireland, Netherlands, etc) to play in world cup. And were saying that they are no good to the world cup and wastage of time [Source: News Channels]. And when Indian team played against Bangladesh, "Ho ha India... aaya India became ho ha India...tata India".So the funny part was, a mediocre team(Bangladesh) showed them way out and other mediocre team(Bermuda) tried there best to get a win over Bangladesh so that India can go to super8... he he he Anyway Indian team learned the lesson that " don't ever take the opponent lightly"

( दुश्मन को कभी कमजोर नहीं समझना चाहिऐ ")

After India's loss against Bangladesh I was thinking who will be blamed for loss?Sachine? Dravid? Harbhajan? Ganguly? Or Chappel? And suddenly a message beeped in my cell. Message body said "person solely responsible for India's disastrous loss against Bangladesh is Mrs. Indira Gandhi as she only created Bangladesh." he he he

Then came the next match India against Bermuda. It was an easy win. Even Dravid was able to hit a six in the match (rare occasion). India won so no one was blamed. People became too optimistic, and thought that India will win over Srilanka and will enter to super8 and infact will win the world cup for India. But alas... India loosed the match in a most dishonored way. But wait here also we can't blame Indian team for loosing the match. Person responsible was 'HANUMAN', a character from Hindu mythology. How? Well he only didn't destroyed srilanka completely though he could have. (People who read/saw Ramayana they know about it.) he he he

India chances were nil in REALITY. But Indian and in fact Indian cricketers too were looking forward to the last match between Bermuda and Bangladesh. If Bermuda could have won(which was sort of miracle as Bermuda stands no were in cricketing world) India(cricket team) could have entered into the super8 and ultimately could have won the cup. But Bermuda didn't play well. Grr.. So they are ultimately responsible for Indian team exit... he he he

so over all I guess we can say Mrs. Indira Gandhi, Hanuman and Bermuda can be blamed for this shameful exit from the World Cup. Not the cricketer as they are THE best and increase the sales by giving flashy ads, which make people to buy those products, ultimately working for India's growth. So at least they were doing something. But shameful as this is the only game where India is taken as a challenge. In rest of the game they just go to REPRESENT a billion people country.. he he he.. And also due to them(Mrs.Indira Gandhi,Hanuman and Bermuda players), Indian cricketers are in problem. Now who will make these POOR cricketers, brand ambassador, who will buy the product supported by them. And how they can give there IMPORTANT input to india..

I guess ICC started this SUPER8 funda so as to make world so call best team to fight against each other and also to earn more money. As during those days of SUPER6, TWO good teams were generally left out(seems like that). But alas this also didn't help at all. Guess from next time they will come up with idea of SUPER12 or SUPER10... he he he

But wait this is not the end. Why to leave blaming ENGLAND. They were the people who started cricket in India. And if I believe the movie 'LAGAAN' as true historic event, then the person who was impersonated by AAMIR KHAN should be blamed for all this mishap. He only made people to think winning a CRICKET match(not hockey, football etc) is TOO EASY and also can be a mode to get rid of all there problem(as they were given freedom to pay the tax for three years by winning a SINGLE game).

On serious note, I guess the time has come to look at other games too. As too much of cricket has blocked the growth of other games. And to revive them so that we can stand somewhere in other games too. which will be better then being NOWHERE in ANY game. :)
