Cricket is a passion. I love the game. A lot of my close friends and family know this. That is exactly why all these people preferred to steer clear of me today. Wisely so as well, because talking to me today, would not have made for cheerful conversation.
India lost another series to Australia today. This, inspite of we being the most populous nation amonst the test match playing nations. It is shameful that we cannot find 11 talented individuals who can collectively be world beaters in a country of billions.
The sport in India cannot even complain. There is no dearth of funding. More than 70% of revenues generated from the game globally comes from India. The BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) is the richest sports body in the country. An association with mainstream cricket, either as a player or as an administrator, is a passport to windfall gains.
The skipper says his team is not mentally strong. I agree. The team, though much stronger willed than the teams of previous decades, is a bunch of weaklings who get exposed when faced with tough and challenging situations.
When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Apparently, this is not applicable to the Indian cricket team.
