We the TRUE FANS of INDIAN cricket team ...........

Lets start from the tendency of common people or so called 'FANS' of the Indian cricket team.We make players 'THE IDOLS' when they win the matches and yes we do make life hell for them when they lose.We the fans, love our Indian cricket team so much that we forget everything when our heroes strike the ground. Now the main point is what we expect from our heroes ? Does everyone think that winning is everything for us. A big 'NO' is the answer. We expect them to show finest of their performances. Entertain us. Winning is expected but then being cricket fans we know the result of cricket can be anything. Rather it is undecided till the last ball bowled.
Lets roll down to 2009 T-20 tournament held in England. India's performance in practice matches was note-worthy, fans had a solid feeling that this time India would certainly make it to the final. Further for the super 8 qualifiers the performance was good. The opponents were Ireland and Bangladesh but lets not under-estimate those sides. The main fall of team started in the super 8 when India lost to West Indies then followed by their defeat to England when everything got shattered. Till the last moments of the match the fans were supporting the Indian side . But the players attitude in the dressing room said different things. Some of the players were smiling chit-chatting among themselves. We the fans had lump in our throat, we had difficulty in gulping down the present situation then. Was the game played in true sense is our question ? Does neone of us smile when we face a hard exam ? What would our parents think when we keep laughing even though we had a difficult examination ? The usual thinking can be that he doesn't care !! We had same feeling for Indian cricket team team that they don't care. Next the game with South Africa, 131 runs to chase starting was brilliant
but then the downfall began. As we all saw new zealand team crying in defeat on the ground which made us think was Indian cricket team in same spirit in which it was playing the IPL.
Indian cricket team is the best team, no doubt on it. Plans do back-fire but when they back-fire thrice one after another, it is a matter of concern. True, we have won the world cup last year so we can't expect that again, why not Australia has shown that.
IPL has shown us, the potential Indians have. This time we could not see the passion in Indian cricket team.Maybe last years win made them over confident, and they semmed to take things for granted. Surely the fire in two JATS yuvraj n harbanjan was seen and was highly appreciated. Some players striked but was not enough though.
This post may make my image a CRITICIZER but these were my views on Indian cricket teams exit from t 20 england 2009. The fact which makes me sad is that we are out, even though we were capable of winning.
WE ARE STILL TRUE FANS OF INDIAN CRICKET TEAM !!
A good leadership with true spirit can make wonders. I hope Indian cricket team gains momentum and plays futher games with full passion and rest all is left to almighty.
Dont keep our image as we keep throwing tantrums now n then, or were illetrate doin nething netime, it is done in teams interest to make them realize some mistakes that we FANS could find out.It is done truly in teams favour so that mistakes are not repeated and our heroes become HEROES OF THE WHOLE WORLD !!
