Respected Brother
Sadar Charan Sparsh
I was not here yesterday for I thought we should keep an off day- a Sunday for retrospection for recollection of the fact that there should be some time that should exclusively be for the family - a small family at that comprising of wife Savita and 11 year (completing that on 16th this month)- yet there is more to family.. to the house that we call as home.. to the other matter of fact acts that deserve attention..
There is a newer post from London from you yet decided to write here as well.. more so for I find that it is after some time that you have again been generous with some photographs.. there is no dearth of pictures, songs and photographs that are available here on the net.. bigbgroup excelling in compilation of each and every event concerning you.. yet the significance of these pictures has that added attraction as it has been directly shared by you with us.. shared by the head of the family with the rest of its members.. I find that interesting.. as much interesting as we get our daily posts from you.. thanks for it all the same..
I say that yesterday was not one of the best days in Indian cricket.. a team that had been having clear advantage over the opponents did not put up a good show or should I correct myself and say put up a miserable show.. my dejection can not be hidden though I do not consider that winning is everything.. I do not believe in winning as much as playing good sound cricket.. it was this aspect that took a suffering in Guwahati.. first and foremost my wrath has to be worn by Viru.. he has let me down.. I had put off Television.. I did not put On the FM gold.. and I did not even came to Internet till I found that India had not only lost Viru.. even Sachin and Gambhir had disappeared from the crease.. oh what a sad display of batting to be reduced to 27 for 5 and was it 75 for 7 or 81 would not matter.. if it were not for Praveen Kumar and Jadeja India would not have had even three figure score on board.. but I knew 170 was not enough..
India gave up the fight.. they did not rely on Kumar or Nehra to be bowled enough overs.. what a sad and bad captaincy on part of MSD.. Is it some forces are working against him.. that he hogs the limelight ( by getting priceless Ad money..) when the team actually wins or looses.. that is not something new.. Kapil Dev was shown the doors by none other than someone whom he gifted his first Pads, bats and the other important cricketing gear.. that people in India have for far too long been having players selected for zone representation than merit alone.. that Arun Lal (Sorry friend! for such a mention) could not find a role in the Delhi team but went on to play for India and Sunil Valson probably the best seamer after Kapil Dev did not get to play even a single game for the country.. it not only hurts it saddens the mind and body refuses to accept.. that reputations are craved for far too much than the display of form.. otherwise how could Manish Pandey who has a century in the T20 format in IPL2 did not get to play all the games for CLT20.. and far worse.. why does he not even find a mention in the 15 players for India.. Why does an Amit Mishra or a Rohit Sharma fail to be considered for few games.. it seems that team India does not want to red such kind of comments from someone who did not even represent his school.. college was out of question (Hindu and Stephens had greatest talent at display in university level cricket).. moreover.. if playing and knowing the game alone could be important for commenting do you hear what our top players really have to say.. instead you choose to diminutize someone as great as Kapil Dev..
It is all right.. if the team India thinks that Abhaya Sharma should not write such articles.. it will definitely be followed up but not before the case is heard and necessary actions implemented. I wish that India does rotate its players including Sachin Tendulkar.. that India should provide caps to alteast 5 new players in a year.. that India should play as a unit when they are playing with the psyche of the millions who throng to the field to cheer them up.. nowhere in the world would you find such crowds for ODI cricket anymore after the advent of T20.. yet India chooses not to play the format at International level.. but does not mind minting money playing only at league level, yes IPL maybe good but not same as playing for your country.. this was shown in the champions league of T20 where all the 3 IPL teams were dusted as there was no national feeling.. India too should have their own T20 league and instead of IPL teams the top two Indian T20 teams alone should qualify to play in the champions league of T20.. I am not against the IPL.. it s probably a good way of integrating international players for a display of extremely entertaining and fighting cricket..
More later
Love to you but if you get a feeling that I am not really happy with MSD after yesterdays games it would be 100 percent true feeling.. I think it is time for Sehwag and Harbhajan to take a back seat and let some others try to win the last game at Mumbai..
