The obvious WC07 aftermath blog
interesting and crazy as it might seem. but i think the fans should shut the f**k up with their ideas on what should be done. they have the right to ask questions when the team is not performing. yes. but none of them are authoritative enough to give ideas. it would be pretty nice if u have 1 billion ideas. (my company would start drooling if it gets to know!). but cricket is not democracy.[and i am not even sure even organised democracy is working]. just like all ur workplace decision making.
and i am not even sure whether the fans have the right to claim its "their money" thats paying the team. bull shit. the bcci is not funded by the finance ministry/sports ministry. and we dont have any kinda merchandising funda like in football. [though with the $1B deal, Nike is trying to bring it in.] the only indirect influence they have on the players' bank balance is if they buy all the products they endorse. considering that all the products in the market are invariably endorsed by some cricketer or the other, it would be difficult to say whether u are having any kinda influence at all. so. just shut up about the money bit. they are just making the most of opportunities. if u had a chance to make a few crores just by eating biscuits for twenty seconds, what would u have done?
and the players represent the nation. yes. but would u shout at every under performance by anyone representing the nation? i understand emotions are involved. but just dont bring undue accountability.
and the media. just dont think that every test cricketer makes soundudgements.abs-fuckin-lute crap. do u really want me to give examples? and. when the media writes about the team being hyped and all that. dont they realise its only the media that can create this hype? and not just a sum total of random coffee table/dinner table conversations all over the country?
and one more small point. the fact that we have the best batting line up in the world on paper is absolutely right. we have three batsmen who have scored 10000 runs each in ODIs. 2 guys, yuvraj and dhoni have been in real good form for a while now. its just that ppl always misunderstand what 'on paper' means. it means based on statistics. and when u try to to infer things from statistics, make sure u have all the related numbers in your hand. and dont just make arbit statements like siddhu's "stats are mini skirts. they show more than they hide". as an engineer. i do know a bit about data and analysis. so. when u analyse. make sure u have all the data. dont just say that stats dont tell the whole story. crap. [though i agree the science is not perfect! :P anyways. i hope u get it]
just dont fuckin sound more authoritative than u deserve to. and know ur role and shut ur mouth!
bye bye mandira. hello Charlie Webster! :)
