It sucks bigtime when the whole world and its mother get unnecessarily complex about a straight forward game. On the flip side, when you have off days, it's almost therapeutic to let rip. <BR/><BR/>Cheers, naked cricketVivek Sharmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00794419464988884719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10404411.post-65926379885190070612007-09-06T10:35:00.000-04:002007-09-06T10:35:00.000-04:00from sulekha.comasuph comments: on 6 Sep 07 01:54...from sulekha.com<BR/><BR/>asuph comments: on 6 Sep 07 01:54:00 AM<BR/>delete this comment - block this user<BR/>:).

The only downside is that we expect a lot from cricketers playing under testing conditions and burden of expectation, which we let ourselves take things easy in real life.<BR/><BR/>I hope my opinion column on cricket will be fair in noting contributions and failings equally.<BR/><BR/>Thanks pradeep and debs... hope we have a grand finale!<BR/><BR/>Geometrix comments: on 6 Sep 07 01:32:00 AM<BR/>delete this comment - block this user<BR/>At times it seems that Indian Cricket fans are like the English football hooligans, and the hooliganism is a colonial bequest, just like the language!<BR/> <BR/>English media wanted a tennis star, came Henmann, and their media made him a make belief grand slam champion. Henmann was a fine tennis player, but then perhaps he could have blossomed to be a grand slam champion without all the pressure. We have similar media burnouts in India.<BR/> <BR/>I think even Indian media has its contribution in fuelling the expectations!<BR/> <BR/>Debs<BR/>pradeep24s comments: on 6 Sep 07 01:13:00 AM<BR/>delete this comment - block this user<BR/>its funny how people shower praises on the team when they win and let them down totally when they need our support<BR/> <BR/>i am sure if India loses next match, people start complaining that everybody should be sacked.
