Men in blue, painted black


Today while sitting in my seat and trying to complete my work I just heard my lead's comment bout indian cricket team.
"It was pathetic, absolute incompetant team we are have. They should die of shame". he said with all the rage he could muster.
He was echoeing the thought many of us even me to be precise.
How much let down we feel due to the (non) performance of the team and how pathetic our Men in blue were on the field.
Its not just us who are feeling this way.
The other day when I was watching India Srilanka's match I saw it on the face of mandira bedi too (she was fuming).
So its not just the common man who is outraged by the indian team but the anchors and anyone who was waiting for the world cup is extremely dissapointed.
This dissappointment is splashed everywhere be blogs, newspaper, TV channels, special reports, Comedy channel.
You anywhere we will see it.
but is it really the fault of the players alone,isnt there anyone else involved in this thing.
All the people who are now so busy analysing and critising out indian cricket team weren't they the one who made the players bigger then the game (corny statment, I know but true).
quoting mandira bedi here"this bubble of creating image of the players bigger then team had to burst someday and hence this was bound to happen".
Take any team for instance south africa, Australia, srilanka and come to think of it even bangladesh (they are really in good shape this time) and ireland, the players play with a passion. All the players are thr to play for the team and not to perform so that they can get better sponsorships back at home.
They were not worried about how many ads they will get or who will sponser them (bangaladesh's main sponser were a tea company coz that's all was thr on there Tshirts).
Thus none of the players in our team bothered about the team.
I guess they totallly forgot about the team the moment thet stepped on the ground which is why they would be watching the matches at home (if anyof them is lucky enuff he might get a chance to watch it wid hrithik roshan in his home theater with tata sky's slogan "tata sky laga dala to life zingalala").
Well no matter how much we may discuss or curse the team they are out of the tournament and a team like bangaladesh has taken our place in the super eight.
This is when Indian cricket team is the highest paid team in the WORLD :O
There has to be a reality check now. Do the players deserve to be there in the team?
why arent younger players getting any chance in the team?
Dont we have just 14 good players from the blue billion that we so fondly talk bout in Ads?
why dont older player retire when they know its time?
why do have to be dragged out of the team ?(look at how shane warne retired and now Mcgrath)
Anyways thr will be some actions taken once our men in blue are back.
Lets see what are they gonna do this time.
