"Ban the effing game!"
"I swear I aint gonna watch it ever again!"
"Its those effing ads these guys are more worried about!"
"yea! this too much! they need to be taught a lesson!"
"WTF is the BCCI doing??"
Yes, I am still unabashedly writing about the great debacle!! Couldnt help but comment on the afore-mentioned nonsense...all these the statements lifted out of posts in the INFY Bulletin Board....emotions expressed by "disheartened", "outraged" "FANS"!
“Ban cricket!" cries; "Chappel Go Back" (influence of the freedom fights!!) slogans; talks about boycotting products endorsed by the players; thoughts/advices to change the team, captain, etc…
whoa! Loads of things on our hands....but, before we get 'em "dirty", let’s take a breather. . . . a reality check, shall we?
“Ban” Cricket??? Just becoz India has failed miserably?? In throes of “patriotism”??? Blue Bullionism?? Does cricket solely mean Indian team "performance"??? If you’ve answered yes, there’s no need to read further! You can go back to brooding over your failure. Personally, I have always relished every match, irrespective of the nationalities of the players (classic example was the day before yesterday's AUS/SA match...was pure pleasure...cricket of the highest class) The game, in itself, is still entertaining, promising, enjoyable....only the Indian Team is not.
Boycott cricketers-endorsed products?? Wat good could possibly come of it? The sponsors had also bet their money on the players...little did they expect their “ducks” to prematurely stop laying the golden eggs. The brand ambassadors for their products are selected based on the public “affection” for these people...so, who to point the finger at anyways? We've equally spoilt the "heroes"!
On another note, bollywood stalwarts also have disappointed /still keep disappointing us....we stop using their products as well?? :-) We might as well stop buying anything off the racks, then....
Changes in the team....
Agreed! A major revamping is called for....but this is something the BCCI has to do....where, unfortunately, more than the P-word “potential”, looks like the P-word “politics” is what plays a major role!!!
Stop watching the game!!! HAHAHA :-D This cracks me up! All our fretting and fuming will be forgotten after a few victories by the team....after they bag 2-3 meaningless tri-series/tests.... the Indian “hopes” are raised once again, new ads aired with the same team endorsing different products....it'll be like the WC2007 never happened....
Once again the midnight oil will burn 4 years later, in the hope (confidence??) that the past performance will not be repeated!!
Chill dudes!!

First off - I Hate the Blue Billion Campaign. I am dead sure there aren't a Billion Cricket Fans in India. I have five people living in my home and three of them don't watch cricket. These companies marketing their products get into such blatant lies!! Imagine Sachin making biscuits!! come on!! Maybe if he gets out in all such importatn crunch matches, he will have to get to making biscuit making business.
My COndolences with Indian Cricket Fans(not a billion), I guess we were hoping India to go ahead to finals once again. But we weren't good enough. Looked like India team continued where they had left off in the 2003 world Cup, totally tensed..
That is no reason for us to give up on the team, given, some veterans were not upto the mark, but there is definitely promising young talent e.g. Dinesh Karthik.. he is one sensible lad (whoever has heard him talk)
Let us just hope this shock exit of India and Pakistan.. turns out to be the India Vs Pakistan World Cup Final 2011 with INDIA winning!!!
