India's 4-0 Test series Loss : Street Cricket Show at Display

Indian cricket Team's extremely poor show on England soil in the recently concluded four match test series has sparked of the debate, if this is the start of the end of the Indian team's short lived dominance in Test cricket or rather International cricket. Packed schedule has been the punching bag when it comes to reasoning the India's street cricket show.


This whitewash was the first test series loss for Dhoni in an otherwise glorious captaincy career that has seen him lead India to a string of Tests wins, the World Twenty20 and the 50-over World Cup on home soil.


Expectations
The expectations from the team that stars likes of Sachin, Rahul, Laxman,Dhoni were huge and no reason why they shouldnt be. New coach in the form of Duncan Fletcher, who is an Englishman, was signed just after the world cup ended. Being an English coach lot many inputs ans special tips were expected from him for this tour.

Positives but Few
Though we saw some good individual performances from Dhoni, Sachin, Mishra but they were too few and never came collectively. Our bowling was made to look like a school team bowling attack. None of the bowlers had the zing, pace or consistency to put English batsmen under pressure.


Not Hungry Enough
 It seemed as if the hunger within the team was not there and if it existed, not much, not much at all.Cricket is more than a religion in this country and its no rocket science to expect some not so praising comments from the public.

Rahul Dravid
Rahul Dravid among several players admitted that they had been outplayed by some margin in all forms of the game in all the matches. He was the only player to who wheathered the english storm, the only person who looked in form and it can be said that the wall of India is still rock solid. Rightly chosen, India's man of the series. Three hundereds in four test matches is some achievement.


Just hoping that this one of series, where Indian team had a collective team failure and will be back with bang and follow the line that Saurav ganguly left the team with "Fight fire with Fire".

Riots, Terrorism and Humanity

City on fire, people running for lives, thousands of policemen on streets, army being deployed, PM of the nation calling an emergency, welcome to a place that's been hit by a terrorist attack or a riot.

Title of this blog may sound a little abrupt, as to how is humanity connected to riots and terrorism? I say, it is indeed connected but the other way around, fading of humanism in a mix of nerves, skeleton and blood called human being. A sad and sorry state to hear, see and accept.

Jealousy and Anger are embedded in human nature, says a study. I second it. So unfortunate are the results of this study but very practical and true. In this fast paced, hectic and tension filled life, people have forgotten to act themselves, be nice, they just act nice.

Terrorism and Riots are different when it comes to dictionary meaning but results are virtually same - destruction, loss of lives creating bad aura all around. Both are dreaded nightmares for a common man for whom a simple life (simple job, simple living, family) is what he longs to live by.

Recent case of Mumbai terrorist attacks and London riots are perfect example of loss of humanity in the world we call ours. Resultant images are what shall not leave human memory. Reasons may be different for both acts, result the same.

Post these instances of killing of human mankind, life may not change for many people but spare a thought for whom life will never be the same. Homes, Shops, Offices burning in fire, for someone it could be his entire life's investment, for someone it could be a dream that just came to life.

Blaming the government or playing the blame game will never ever solve the problem. A little patience, a little less anger, frustration and jealousy and a smile. Most importantly, choosing a better method to convey your feelings and demands can probably if not solve, attempt to solve such instances.

Will end with a note that GOD left for us - killing of one innocent person is killing of entire mankind.

In Deep Waters ..

Water 3/4th the earth, 2 molecules of oxygen in every particle .. still when in deep waters, we strive for oxygen, actually natural airy oxygen because that is what is essential for survival. Such is sometimes in life when you are alive striving for natural motivation. Things start to go wrong, nothing seems right. Everything seems so gloomy. Finding motivation is like searching for water in desert, that too when you are most thirsty.

This period acts like a sieve that filters friends, separates great buddies from good ones. Great ones understand you, no matter what. Good ones try to.

It is said- fall seven times, rise up eight. But when you rise for the eight time, are you still so fit to run miles? are you determined enough to face adversity again? and similar questions are what choke your mind. Heart though has no complexities, it stays with "yes" to both questions and the likes of it.

Optimism is a hard hard word to sink in but is the need of the hour. They say, survival of the fittest and optimism keeps you fit. Music is great friend and healer, probably the only thing that works no matter the situation.

Have faith in God, have faith in self and Get Set Go ................ All the best !!!
