Cliches of Cricketers
Indian cricketers are so used to making such useless statements that we are better off not reading those. After losing to Aussies in Champions Trophy, Dravid tried to justify "Our bowlers didn't perform well in the first 15 overs...250 is a good score....There are several areas we have to work at...". Duh...you were playing against Australia...today even 400 may not be sufficient in One-Day matches, and you think 250 was a good score ? Dude, thanks for telling us when the top-order batsmen fail and when the bowlers. If bowlers were inexperienced, were you dreaming when team was getting selected ? Are you are there to report that much ? What are you doing to avoid the inconsistent performance ? This is the vision team of India and Chappell for World Cup 2007. I am wondering when India will be done working at all areas of the game (probably when cricketers are banned from making ads) ? Our hero, Dhoni sahab, is busy making statements "I like blondes". We don't care even if you had liked brunettes. I guess, advertisers have endorsed you enough to relax and unleash your romantic desires. Man, learn from Adam Gilchrist who is 8-9 years older than you. Sachin ! we forgot when you played a decisive innings for the team India. You already have enough bank balance, probably its high time for you to retire gracefully and take up a different job -- of commentary or running hotel business. You go around saying, "People have to understand my role in team has changed, I am not longer 19 years old Sachin....even we don't like losing games...". I am wondering what other main role does a batsman have in a team except for scoring runs. Boss, why you don't admit you are now too old for the game and you are scared of McGrath, Lee,etc. Sehwag, you don't have to follow Sachin so closely in scoring style -- you scored nothing in the last dozen of innings. This 60+ score is nothing given your previous inconsistent performance. Guys, bottomline is we want consistent performance, we don't want to see you on Ads. Unlike we graduate students, you are not juggling between jobs -- writing papers, meeting deadlines, doing courses, teaching labs and licking boots of bosses...you are carrying national flag, earning stardom and money...can't you do your only job right ? Let other players be there to gain experience. Is BCCI paying Rs~75 lakhs per month to Greg Chappell to experiment and gain experience by losing games ? I was sitting next to Roger Binny (who was on his way to Bhutan) in Dum Dum on my way back and I was wondering why couldn't we hire 2-3 ex-Indian players as coaches spending the same amount of money if losing does not matter to us.

You make some good points, it does seem a while since India were a consistent force in ODIs. I can understand your frustration that these guys do nothing other than play Cricket and do ads and they still can't get it together on the field. How did you feel about Chappel getting stuck into the players? It was reported in Aus that the Indian press didn't like it at all...
I feel that it is always an utter waste of time putting a microphone infront of ANY team sportsman, be it cricket, football or netball. We KNOW they were the better team on the night because they WHIPPED YOU! There is NO SUCH THING as 110%! Clearly they put up a good fight - it was the premiership on the line - JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH!
I say, less meatheads behind microphones.
Hear! Hear! They should just get on with playing the game. Perhaps these sports teams should focus more on their training, fitness, skills etc and less on advanced hair (yeah yeah!)
Also just wanted to comment on the whole Chappell thing too...aren't there any good Indian coaches? why spend all that money to import one (albeit a great player) if the team isn't going to benefit and win from it?
as long as BCCI is run by politicians and inelegant officials, there is no luck for Indian team...
good site
