So finally! The Indian Cricket Team's run in the Carribean has come to an END! And rightly so, after their poor perfomance against Sri Lanka the shouldn't have been banking on a highly unlikely win from Bermuda against Bangladesh. As of one the dailies mentions that one Bermudan batsman, after coming out of his room was mobbed by die-hard indian cricket fans who were saying-"Please win this match, one billion hopes are resting on you." It is not right to put the Bermudan team under so much pressure and anyways the Bangaldeshi team are no longer minnows anymore and fully dersreved to go into the Super Eights. In fact in the match against Bangladesh, it was the Indian team who were behaving like minnows!! As there is speculation going on that if coach Greg Chappell will be axed or not, all we can do is to wait and watch and watch without any tension as the Indian team is out of the World Cup!
Happy watching...!!

You are right the Indian team were behaving like minnows. There is so much politics in cricket that it is very difficult to predict what will happen. Also public memory is very short here. A good innings by any of these batsmen will erase the acrimony they ( public ) have with the Indian team. A win and you will see the change in their manner of thinking. No one is interested in long term solutions. This is the ground reality as a lot of money is floating around. Now we have to look beyond cricket I feel. Hockey should be promoted with gusto, and then these cricketers will feel the pinch. But this is easier said than done in a cricket crazy sub-continent.
