Well i guess i have taken enough break now it is very much incumbent on me to write some thing so decided to start with my rotten Cricket acumen. Today many saw the dramatic collapse of Australian as well as Indian top order in which the very best species strive to behave up to their phenomenal standards. From last year i am not watching any match live as a resolve but since cricket is in my blood so i cant stop writing about it. All my tribute to the God of all cricket loving indians who came from exile only to give his ardent fans the hope which died so soon.
If i criticize Dravid people will call be a fanatic suffering from some sort of biasedness but i dont give any damn shit to them. Such a great performance from The Great Wall of India. In last 9 matches he played he has scored 93 runs at an everage of 11.66.
Its hard to believe that India lost the WI series with a huge margin as well this tournament. This DLF cup saw some pathetic performance from indian top order batsmen. They have struggled in last three matches and it takes a lot of stress on my cerebral hemispheres to find out a cell containing any similar performances.
This team is full of superstars and superheroes but i think we need players to win matches. I can only criticize Dhoni for loosing his patience to go for that greedy shot (I know he was caught on a no ball) otherwise we were all well set to win the match and hopefully the tournament. Now the target is championship and may be the case that we can come as winners but the basic problem or solution will remain the same. India needs players who can give their sweat and blood inplace of those who are selling biscuits/sims/balms/cars/colddrinks and many other things.
The world cup is not too far and the game is beautiful
O God please help my dying spirit eleven heads full

Well...rotten or not...ur cricketing acumen is a bit skewed and one that not many would endorse...I couldn't watch the match today....so won't be able to comment on today's performance....
but since u always resort to stats..I had no choice but to do some R&D as well...
about ur comment on dravid...goto http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rahul_Dravid and just have a look at this line..and I quote:"Dravid:Has the highest ODI batting average as captain of 45.58 (as of 4/7/06), among all captains who have captained more than 10 ODIs"....ofcourse this doesnt include the current series...but it hardly surprises me that u revert back to ur favourite pastime of criticising Dravid as n when u see India not doing well....wonder why u didnt write anything when India won 17 matches in succession chasing...thats quite an achievement for a team once labelled as "chokers"...and also when India won the test series in WI(u got a chance with India losing the ODIs..lol)...
no wonder u were waiting for the new season to start...coz I guess u have enough experience of watching cricket that u knw of India being slow starters to a season...n therein lies ur chance to pounce on them n on Dravid in particular...
I,as a cricket follower(and mind you, this is my personal opinion) have faith in this team...I believe that this team has the talent and self belief to be champions...
and if u feel otherwise...then instead of blasting me, u'd be better off waiting for the champion's trophy!!

Well i am cricket critic and the job of critic as far as amy understanding tells me is to find the gray areas and i have every right to crticize any body fortunately Dravis is a easy victim. I just gave my thoughts about last 10 ODIs or so. 10 ODIs is not a small number. Well people have right to take me other way but i am not biased and i have written this post rationally.
@Shobhit....
