The Gentlemen's Disaster


It’s sad but it’s over now … Yeah I am talking about the glorious victory of The New Age Indian Cricket in 2007 - with unknown faces brimming with the passion for the cricket- That’s it. 2 years later all the unknown faces had become God’s of cricket globally but all of them failed miserably under highly demanding conditions. To make matters worst, Mr. Cool Captain seeks lame excuses for not even coming close to the World T-20 Champions Title.



Like many I am disappointed and all I wonder is “Why is success so short lived?” I am sure other teams are practicing and improvising on their games but that doesn’t mean that as champions we would have no standards. Even in our own IPL how many of Indian Cricketers did well??? There is so much of exposure for anyone who plays cricket but really once these endorsements come in to pictures all cricketers think about is Moolah! And the game is long forgotten!

I am a Cricket lover, worship it like a religion. However the Indian teams performance was hopeless and way below my expectations!!! Though memories of the 2007 T-20 matches still lingers on – one of the most finest teams in terms of fielding, bowling and batting. All the players had a fair idea of what is expected out of them. This time the word ‘team’ was missing in the Indian cricket team.
