League of Extraordinary Cricketers

For the last 12 odd years, I don't think i have missed many Indian cricket matches. Cricket comes first in our lives. I have seen people who will give anything to watch a cricket match live.



And we get this for all these years of dedication.India's loss to Bangladesh was the darkest day probably in the history of Indian cricket. Even the Eden garden's debacle of 96 was not as shameful because at least we were playing against the undisputed world champions then.



Sachin Tendulkar is probly the most overrated and over hyped sports personality in the world. The matches that he has won for India will come out to be less than i per cent of the matches he has played. So this means he was a total waste in the rest of 99 percent games.



Dada is all the time worried about his centuries and what he has got to prove to media. India's victory is the last thing on his mind.



The crux is that these stars have somehow become larger than the game. They have been so much idolized and commercialized that they no longer think about the team . The culprit in this matter is to some extent the GrEAt INdian CrickEt Fan.

Dont balme Indian Cricket Fan for India's failure. It behaves fanatically similar to the Performance of Our Esteemed Team. For blame game, lets blame Indira Gandhi who created Bangladesh...lol....:))
