Better Luck Next Time!
India has been knocked out of the ICC T20 World Cup! Yeah, I am not saying anything new. Everybody knows about it.
And everybody is venting out their ‘Expert Comments’ on the debacle.
Lack of consistency, powerful side only on paper, Dhoni is out of form, absence of Sehwag, over confidence, not good bowling choices, poor captaincy, lack of rest, IPL, poor fielding effort, Dhoni effigy burnt in home town, are just some of the reactions of the post match analysis.
I am a Passive Watcher (like Passive Smoker, I mean) of cricket, but last night I stayed up late to watch the match and during the final over when the going was tough, I accidently changed the channel and when I returned back, I found that a six was hit by Yusuf Pathan. I immediately changed to another channel believing that my ‘not watching the match’ can result in India’s victory!
But it was not meant to be!! I know we all are shocked and disappointed. But, hey, take it easy!
Expecting India to win all matches or championships is just not right. Did you get 100% marks in all the subjects, in all the classes of your academic career? I am sure, your answer would be a “NO”!
Given the fickle nature of cricket and more so for this short form of cricket, you win some and you lose some! And this applies to our team too!
‘We are more disappointed than them. India is an emotional country but we gave out best.’ said the Captain.
I agree, Captain! Better Luck Next Time!!

not bad … but if u desperately want a rosy template, then nothing is better than getting the blogger standard template mininma black or white and put a huge rose in the header , and put rosy pics here and there …

Hey Shilpa I liked your views and I agree to them.It will be not fair to expect the Indian team to win every match, because we ourselves can’t succeed in everything we do.But world cups are important; these are like board exams u have to perform well :p.Australia defended the one-day world championship title for so many years in row.
It is necessary to introspect and scrutinize ones action at the end of day otherwise we can’t know our mistake let alone learning from it.But yes the criticism should be constructive.

We can’t blame them for the defeat.They tried there best.One of the reason for Indians defeat was , our side was quite inexperienced,then sewag matter,short balls and apart from last time,most of the dhonis gamble didn’t work this time

Hey Shilpa,
Came here from the title. Fell in love with the content. Though I agree with what you said about India in T20 I think they should have tried harder instead of running around IPL. But as you say BLNT 🙁
Keep posting.
