How can you abandon your team now?



I have been reading that enthusiasm on the part of players wasn’t enough. People should have prayed more & they could have won. And more importantly, the team made the same mistakes. We have critics in every corner who will tell you that dropping catches & leaking run had been grave mistakes. And it’s all about fixing the blame on the players.

There ought to be too much pressure on players. We shouldn’t forget that. It’s not how nobodies are playing cricket at home. Well I think it’s sheer luck factor & yes India is a better team. They played better than us.

It’s ridiculous how people are saying that cricket has died. And they have also changed their display pics on FB. How can they desert their own team? They are still bitching about Misbah. Batting line just failed. They should accept it rather than bitching about one player. And what the hell do they expect in one day cricket? It’s all luck. It’s not test cricket. Shame on the nation for abandoning their team!

What I find weird is that Afridi had to apologize to the nation. This is just a game. Why can’t we take a game as a game? Right now people are depressed & they hate the team. When they win, you love them & when they lose, you just can’t stand them. This is abnormal behavior.

Everyone was making really low jokes & they were so confident that we would win. Pepsi’s horrendous ad ‘Kuch yaad aya’ is one such example.

I’ve read terrible stuff written by educated people of Pakistan, naturally I don’t expect much of illiterates. People were so excited & happy about the matches & that’s a good thing. But they should also take defeat without complaint, & victory without gloating & thinking too much of themselves. They are totally banking on prayers & then they hate the players for losing the match.

Instead of bitching about Misbah & Umar Gul, they can talk about Wahab Riaz. But no, we will just talk about negative stuff. If this had happened, we might have won. Is winning everything? Do we discard people in our lives when they fail? And if we do, it only speaks about our own character. I think Pakistan deserves better people who can accept defeat with grace. It requires a lot of courage. Anyone can dance when good things happen.

There is one other man I’d like to badmouth & that is none other than ‘It’s already raining boundaries in Mohali.’ I find Mr. Ravi very biased. He was talking about barring luck factor. You can’t do that in one day cricket. He’s not a good commentator. He looks & sounds drunk all the time.

Anyway, good luck to both the teams of Sri Lanka & India!
