This blog is not to criticize the loss of the Indian team to Bangladesh in the world cup. I think that Bangladesh really played well. It was not a fluke, it was well planned and well deserved victory after all.
When Indian team was leaving for the Caribbean there was lots of prayer, support and wishes to support the Indian team was happening. Again every news channel had the counter of the SMS to wish the Indian team. All the companies advertisement were based on the cricket and there was astrologer and numerologist trying to predict the performance of the each player and the team. The surprising thing was that the stars(grah and sitare) on the different channel was suggesting different things to different astrologer. Amazing!!!!
In the practice matches India did play well raising the hopes of all the fans. Actually i should be more clear in the definition of the Fans and mad followers of the game. One performance and everything changed. The defeat shocked the nation and so called fans have gone mad. There was protest all around. The house of a player is attacked and the threat calls are received by the family. I think this has become a ritual. Why does the same fans have became like this.
The situation takes a turn and India thrashes the minnow team by scoring the highest score in the world cup and the victory margin highest in the one day international. This is India, they are record makers and record breakers. They play when the life is on the knife edge. In my point India is still in the same soup and the danger of Going out of the world cup is still looming large.
Considering the amount of money involved with the stay of the Indian team it must be the nightmare for the broadcaster and the advertisers who were ready to pay anything for a 10 second slot during India's match. But i am thinking about the nightmares these players must have been getting by having the thought of losing and the families back home.
Peoples let them play and Team don't get the habit of performing when the fans protest back home. This can be dangerous as this is India and once this thought get into the mind their will be no warm send off their will be threat of protest on non-performance and that will kill the sport.
