Welcome Exit

I dont know what made me write about Bangladesh in my previous blog. I never expected, for that fact noone had expected that Bangladesh would hand over the same treatment to us like what they did to NZ. It was pathetic seeing the Men in Blue perform in the middle. It was like a fashion show, with each and every member of the team coming and going back in a jiffy. Ganguly though not in prime form took the pain of staying in the middle and gathering some runs for the team.

The next match against Bermuda was a cakewalk for Team India. Atleast there should be one team like this, else we can never create records like what we did against Bermuda. Virender Sehwag made a mincemeat of the Bermudan attack and informed the team that they should not expect him to score for the next few years. After all he has scored against Bermuda and now nobody can question about his presence in the team.

The next match against Sri Lanka was a do-or-die match for the Indians. But it seemed that the Indians were more interested in joining their pakistani counterparts. Dravid, it seems has asked Inzy to wait for them, so that they could go home together.

It was heart breaking watching India perform against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. And I dont have a strong heart to see India perform the same way in the coming matches. Thankfully India is now not into Super 8's and I could spend some time on my work instead of pondering about India's performance.

Indians were not thrown out of the world cup by their opponents. They threw themselves out of the league. And we should appreciate our team for this particular collective team effort. Long live the Indian team.

I would not be complaining if our men had fought till the end, but they never seemed to take the charge to their opponents. Winning is not important, but making the opposition fight for their win is more important. Indians never seemed to understand this.

Their exit in this world cup is a welcome one. They have saved the lives for plenty of fans who could not have tolerated if India had performed the same way in the semis or finals...
