Sad Day for Indian Cricket???

After the stream of events that unfolded today in the Indian Cricket/Media , a prominent News Channel( whose prime anchor happens to be a cricket has been) has gone ahead and termed today as a "Sad Day in Indian Cricket". One is quite confused as to what event could have brought about a sudden pall of gloom, as if it were not already enough!

Was it Sachin's emotional outbursts or Greg's packing of bags?

Beats me!, for I thought it was the saddest day when we lost to Bangladesh , or to Srilanka (or what we call in India the Royal Calypso Collapso!)

The News of Greg Chappel's tendering of resignation should have actually brought some lost glory (and relief!) to senior players, for now they have made it aptly clear to all the wannabe coaches that:

1) no coach can ever mess with them
2) no coach can dare question their attitude or fitness levels
3) no coach can question their cricketing or advertisemnt commitments
4) "It my way or the highway" ( Chappell has indeed made the wise choice, albeit after two years of tinkering with the IMMOVABLE pillars of Indian Cricket)

The word 'sad' for the Indian Cricket contains in itself the ugly situation responsible for all the ills. See below:
S--represents Sachin and his clone,shevag. sadly both miserably failed against Bangla and SriLanka, packing their journey for concenration in commercial Ads ! ( Perhaps they concentrate only on Ads.)

A--represents Australian (Coach).
From the day he took over,there was tall talk about preparing Indian Team for the World Cup; all controversies,dis-harmony in the team notwithstanding ! Team out in the first round and the coach resigning before sack orders! what a Coach and the Team !

D--Dravid,the Captain. He forgot his batting role as Wall,but had been holding the val( Tamil word for tail )of the coach.A weak captain who never asserted his position either in the field or outside. His support for un-performing Shevag will ever remain a puzzle !

Are you now clear how SAD contributed for the sad day for the Indian Cricket ?

The problem is that we still lack knowledge of cricket.

By cricket, we must understand that it refers to any of various insects of the family Gryllidae, having long antennae and legs adapted for leaping. The males of many species produce a shrill chirping sound by rubbing the front wings together.


Bizarre similarities !!

some one sent me an sms saying the two main people responsible for the Indian team's failure are Indira Gandhi & Hanuman
Indira Gandhi for creating Bangladesh and Hanuman for not fully destroying Lanka..
If its blaming times.. lets blame them all !!
