I am pissed off at the attitude of Indian players towards training. The most important factor responsible for team India’s shameful exit is the self-conceit each player is overwhelmed with. Let me begin with Sachin

1. He rarely finds time for practice as he is busy with advertisement. The directors even chase him down to the training ground where he performs in breaks during training. Know why he keeps adjusting his pelvic guard incessantly during batting? Well he once appeared for diaper advertisement but forgot to take it off for the entire day. This caused rashes to develop in and around his pelvic area which no ‘Etch guard’ could remove so far. Poor guy has to suffer his entire life for that malfunctioning diaper.

I think the last warning served its purpose. I hope the Indian cricket team continue its form all the way to world cup glory.

Mean while the cricketing world has witnessed shocks beyond imagination. When Hansie Cronje died in an air crash, I was in awe because I still held him in high respect in spite of his involvement in the match fixing scandal. But when I heard about Woolmer’s death, I had my foot in my mouth! They both complimented each other well. South Africa’s phenomenal success in cricket was largely due to the coachmanship of Woolmer . I still remember how they first introduced wireless headphones in cricket during the World Cup in 1999 so that the coach can directly interact with the captain in the field. He is also credited with the introduction of technology, more specifically laptops, for coaching sessions.

The inevitable has happened. Dreams were shattered, hearts were broken and many were sent to deep chasm of depression after seeing India lose to minnows Bangladesh. All the hype around ‘Team India’ seems to have suffered a big blow. I wonder why they still show that Pepsi ad, where Indian team poses like the tigers, when they falling like nail pins. Bangladeshis would have had a heartily laugh seeing these tigers become asses in front of Bengal Tigers.

This picture confirms my earlier speculations about the back-up plan of the Indian cricket team to escape secretly from the world cup. Points to be noted from the above picture

1. There is no Saurav Ganguly on the boat as Mr. Chappel is there

2. Sachin is with Zaheer and Chappel on his either sides.

3. Sreesanth seems to have now learned Caribbean belly dance which he practicing at the back.
