“There are no failures - just experiences and your reactions to them.”
- Tom Krause
Cricket- Its not just a game, but a religion for the Indians. Win the match and you are raised to stars. Lose the next day and you are down to ashes. This is the kind of rule Indian cricket fans make for their heroes (or villains at times, like present).
Not many days before our Great Indian Cricket team became The World Champion!!! and just a few months later, we see our heroes panting and crying for some mercy from the English cricket team, not to forget, who is the inventor of this game but failed to win the Cup even once....!! All over the world, critics criticized Indian team and a renowned English daily even quoted Indian team as dogs by giving the title: "Sheepish India have gone to the dogs".
But the people have how easily forgotten that this same Indian team has destroyed the Single headed dictatorship of Australia over this game by thrashing them out of the world cup. The English team who is being boasting now was not even in the scene in the world cup!! Furthermore, India became the only team in the world to crown the title of "ODI World Cup", "T-20 World Cup" and "World no.1 Test Team" simultaneously. How easily all these facts have been dumped?
As far as the England tour is concerned, Indian team can not be blamed completely. There were not enough practice matches to ensure that they adapt to the conditions. Compare the Indian summer with England's cold. Is that so easy to adapt without practice?? Further, there were so many injuries. India's key bowler Zaheer Khan was injured in the very first match. There were several other inexperienced player from whom it was their first English tour. Even the coach was a new one. keeping all these in mind, I am of the view that India is and will remain the World Champion for the days to come. Victory and defeat are the two sides of the same coin. Its a reminder for other teams not to take us so lightly. “Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall.”
