India lost yesterday to the so called minnows i.e Bangladesh team. Any person who watched India and Bangladesh for the first time will be scratching his or her head as to why Bangladesh are called the minnows of cricket and not India after seeing their performance yesterday. And ofcourse just for the records, there was another huge upset yesterday when Pakistan lost to another so called minnow Ireland.
There will be a lot of criticism and post mortem from the highly emotionally and charged Indian cricket fans.
There will be a set of fans saying sack Dravid and make Dada the captain,
Some would say Sachin Tendulkar does not score when most needed,
Some would blame Chappel,
Some would blame the selection committee,
Some astrologers would try to make a name for themselves by saying I predicted India losing to Bangladesh because neptune and pluto were copulating
The reason is simple and straightforward, TEAM INDIA as a whole played badly.
It was not any other reason. A majority of us Indian cricket fans are unfortunately not a fan of TEAM INDIA but fans of individual players in the team. And this has what allowed some of the experienced so called Superstars get away with absolutely abysmal performances, because they know that their fanatic fans will see to it that they are not going to be dropped from the team. I am not saying that we should not like individual players, but what I say is that do not idol worship them and make them Gods or whatever, we should learn to enjoy the positive feedbacks when they do well, but at the same time learn to accept the negative criticism.
Dave Whatmore played this superstar card very well before the beginning of the match, when he made a statement that he hopes that his Bangladeshi players do not get overawed by seeing the Indian superstars. Our players must have taken that seriously and thought that this is going to be a walk in the park, and yes it was because most of our batsmen walked in and walked out immediately.
All said and done, Bangladesh played outstanding cricket, it was refreshing to see their teen brigade bat with so much maturity and responsibly.
Team India is not out of the tournament yet like their other famous counterpart Pakistan, but they have to play as a team and not like a bunch of superstars if they have to go to the next round. Also the Indian cricket fan should pray that Team India does well and not just a Sachin or Saurav or Dravid.
All the best TEAM INDIA.

violent post mortems have already begun in india.
one website is calling it a stupid decision to bat first. its amazing how can such gr8 players misread a cricket pitch. the reason i am saying is the moment india went in to bat, many news channels were doubting dravid's decision to bat first. this is surprising really.

Dear Sammy,
NOW INDIA HAS LOST TO THE WORLD. Who should be ashamed ? The players, Cricket Lovers or the Manmagement of BCCI ?
Who is accountable and answerable to this humiliating defeat and huge monetory losses?
Remove all the exiasting players from the team , as it appears to be sufferring from incurable disease(as it needs a transfusion) and induct only new players, as we have plenty of them with promising performance. Do not allow the players to be Brand Ambassadors, and ad Icons to mint money. Put them in their right place. Some times the authorities responsible to control the cricket activities in India has to conduct and behave like Hitlers, Alexanders and Nepolians to achieve results
'am any how ashamed and annoyed with the players who did not play but thinking of their next ad and brand assignments, upset with the selectors and BCCI and unhappy with the coach.
When fate comes you can't help it, but this is a situation the FATE HAS BEEN INVITED BY THE PLAYERS WITH GARLAND,SANDAL PASE AND VERMILON to humiliate cricket lovers and to put to shame the whole of INDIA.
No one is indispensable there fore dispense with all the players who has to account for and answer people of India who has posed tremendous amount of trust and confidence in them and in turn they have made a mockery of the game and put us to shame.
JK
