India Cricket Montage

My disappointment with the Wimps in Blue notwithstanding, my patriotism and optimism don't let me give up on the wimps so easily. I love this video - for the song and some of the aggressive play on display by the wimps. I wonder if they can play so well as to have a World Record of 17 consecutive ODI wins [while batting second], why do they fail miserably so many times? Why as a team are they so inconsistent? Why the oh-so-very-predictable middle order collapse? Actually, I should say top, middle, and tail order collapse and the whole enchilada. They don't stick to just the middle order.

Bring the Bloody Wimps in Blue Home

Three matches and 1 solitary win, if you can call that one, against the weakest of teams - Bermuda. India should be ashamed of the record win they scored against Bermuda. Its like playing with kids and harping about winning against them. Whats there to be so much proud about it?

If you're really that well, then you would have chased a target of 255 at a good pitch and won it without breaking out much into a sweat - not lose it by 69 runs by getting bundled out at 185.
And to top it all you lose to Bangladesh. It shows what you are made of.

I think its high time the BCCI bans any cricket player from doing ads or endorsing any product. When your only source of income is by playing and playing it well, you'll die to win a match; not throw it away as if its the first time you came down to play an international match. Just think for yourself, when your getting paid so much already outside your work, how much motivated will you be to put your 100% into what you should primarily be doing? I know I wouldn't. I would just go to office, sit in A/C floor, somehow while away 8 hours, perform the barest minimum possible, and come home. Its the same rut thats got into the Indian cricket team - nothing else.
