Out of the World Cup...

When I kept saying GO INDIA!!! I didn't mean out of the World Cup. I guess the players and management misunderstood our cheers. Of course if everyone in the BCCI is as dumb as its Vice-President from Goa, we can't blame them. So after all the analysis and discussions on all the various TV channels and Magazines, our beloved 'Team India' was knocked out of the World Cup by it's neighbors Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, both of which when combined area-wise would fit into any Indian state they chose. First of all, who came up with the name, 'Team India'? If a group of players is playing Cricket, it's got to be a team right. You don't have to say mention the obvious.

So we lose to Bangladesh. How lame can our adored team get. Bangladesh's spirit on the field was much better then the Indians'. And then we beat Bermuda, a team comprising Primary school teachers, Policemen and Chartered Accountants. Bermuda's total population is 70,000, out of whom 10000 are migrants. So the entire Bermudan population would fit into the Eden Gardens Stadium at Kolkata, with plenty of room for another 30000 people, the probable population of a country India would next be able to beat. For the uninformed, India's population is 1.2 Billion, for those who prefer numbers, 12000000000. And we beat a team whose population is smaller than the Tiswadi Taluka of Goa state and are proud of it, So proud, that we next meet a country marginally bigger and lose miserably.

After all the discussions and analysis and post-mortems about why India did so badly in the World Cup, I think I got the answer. Because we played badly...

The SMS quizzes on TV never fail to amaze me. It's ok when they ask you who will win the match. a. for India and b. for Sri Lanka. But then the questions keep changing, like How much do you think will India score, or How much do you think that Uthappa will score, less than 40, more than 40, more than 50. What the deuce!

At 1:30 am, when India were 152/7 chasing 255, the question was, Can India still win? That question just about made me happy that India were being knocked out, I wouldn't have to read those lame questions for sometime now...

P.S: Soon after the World Cup, India are playing Bangladesh in India... And guess what. India are looking at that series as a revenge series and a way to settle scores...

Team India Rocks... The officials suck..!!! Get all these political imbeciles out of the BCCI and watch 'Team India' win trophy after trophy...

One of the BCCI Vice-Presidents, Dayanand Narvekar, is even using the Indian teams ouster for his publicity. How cheap can these people get?
