Nice to be back to my blog after a forced sabbatical.
So the World T-20 is over and the Indian team is back to ground or rather "Ground Zero". All the predictions by the retired cricketers turned gurus were proved wrong and Indian team's sprit prevailed.
You know its simple. Until and unless they go as the "UNDERDOGS" or "DARKHORSES" they will not win. The moment you make them the favorites, they are clean bowled. That's one F-word that scares the hell out of them! The journos just need to flip through a few pages of history of Indian cricket and they would know the ever eluding secret of Indian team's success!
1983 world cup – underdogs- WON
1987 world cup-host nation, favorites, still termed the best team ever to go in a world cup - LOST
1996 world cup-host nation again, favorites again - LOST again
2001 home test series against the Aussies- no chances of winning against world record holding Steven Waugh's team- HISTORIC VICTORY
2003 world cup- worst form before the world cup – FINALISTS
2007 world cup- won every match before this on every surface against all opponents, so favorites again- KNOCKED OUT in the first round
2007 T-20 world cup- new captain, new controversies, ghost of F-50 world cup still haunting, seniors-junior issue etc - WON miraculously
So instead of bashing the team after a debacle, we should probably deride them ahead of an important series or tournament and we can see miracles! Label the Ireland team stronger in a T-20 match, question the abilities of Dhoni to swing a bat at the beginning and we may actually see them beating South Africa by 10 wickets as the tournament progresses! What we need is a collective effort by the media, fans and most importantly ex-cricketers. These jobless jerks have absolutely no knowledge of contemporary cricket so they can easily be made to speak anything….just pay them well and give them the footage. If cricket is a religion, then this is a very small sacrifice towards attaining glory.
So next time if you see a news channel or a news paper piling heaps of praise for the team, don't bother to subscribe Star Cricket!
Fact-file T-20:
- The team is blaming Duckworth-Lewis rule for the loss….because they didn't even get a single chance to use it to escape defeat! Now that is bad luck!
- Dhoni relied on Mathew Hayden to perform, only forgetting one little thing…..this was not IPL!
- Gary Kirsten no longer has hair to lose over the loss.
- Question- why did Dhoni fail as a captain?
Answer - because he was busy Facebooking on his Aircel Phone…now whose fault is that? Obviously facebook yar!
- Ravindra Jadeja is a pinch hitter- he made people pinch themselves to believe that he is batting in a T-20 match.
- Deepkia Padukone came, she saw and…distracted Yuvi!
- Dhoni no longer needs a fancy phone to use Facebook…he can do it from the pavilion where he spends most of his time these days!
- Sehvag refuses to "Shoulder" any responsibility for this loss!
Question- why did Dhoni cancel training sessions before the India-England tie?Answer- he thought running with Bipasha on road was enough!
- The Indian team has truly hit rock bottom- they let Sidebottom scare them!
- Question-why did Indian players perform so well in IPL?
Answer- because they never fail when it comes to catching money!

The best Fact File ever..True to the core..For more Facts contact me..!!ha ha ha ha..
Abe tera Indian Cricket team waala article padha... Its just so pathetic to hear these words from you... who boasted himself as the cricket pandit of VIT... One failure and you people are out to protest against the cricketer... Why didnt you wrote an article when Indian Team with fresh juniors won the T20 world cup.... and about that fact regarding 2003 world cup... Indian Team was certainly in from (just one New Zealand Series was a debacle. After that NZ series when Indian went for the WC, people like you started saying what was the use of such a series where Indian team lost its confidience. And came out to rock Ganguly's home after only one match. Just after the game against Australia, Indian Team went on to win all the games except final. Moral of the story is that "Every body cant be champion at single point of time, give them time to prove themself"... Its all depend on form...form depends on practise...practise depends on menatal peace... and mental peace depends on how you allow them to settle... So please restrain yourself from concluding the things at such a pace...
