Yes, I am Indian and I want more cricket.
I do not understand why all the Indians(including P. Panicker) started
***ing about too much cricket? IMHO I need more cricket. My reasons
include the following.
1. For me cricket is entertainment, so I would not mind enjoying it
everyday from Indian team(How come we never complain that Indian movie
makers make more movies than there are days in a year?).
2. I do not care what happens to a players' health. Because if it is
not Srinath, Srinath's Bap(father) will play, if not Srinath's Bap,
then his Bap is there to play. Common folks there are close to 1
Billion people India. Someone is there to play all the time. Ya, ya I
know not everyone is capable of playing cricket but who cares(Thank God
Bagath Singh/Alluri Sitaramaiah never said what happens if they die).
3. Cricket is not a mama and papa's game anymore. It is professional
sport. It is up to the player to take care of his/her health. If one
disregards one's health and plays continuously, then it's one's own
problem. But if one serves the country while disregarding one's health
then one is remembered for the sacrifice one makes(I hear Tennis players
withdraw from prfessional circuit all the time. I do not know what is
stopping cricket players to sit back a tour or two. In fact this would
give other younger players a chance to prove themselves, i.e., other
players to be tried-out. In fact it may help break the monopoly of
limited number of players. Constant dropping/changing would encourage
the younger lot to work that much harder to get into the team, cause
they know that they chances of getting into the team).
4. Cricket is a profession these players chose. Hence, thscey should
not hesitate to play it all the time(I work eight hours a day, and five
days a week. Can you imagine me asking my boss that I already used my
brain for this week, and I need rest for a month or two. They will
promptly replace me with someone else who is capable of working all the
time).
5. Look at Tendulkar(With all the due respect to his game). Is he an
example to Indian crickters as far as his fitness is concerned? The
*** is a fat ass. He should work his butt-out and become a lean and
mean sun of a gun. I thought his spouse is a doctor!
6. It seems like Indian players are under the impression that once you
make it to the team, you are a Nawab. In fact the only criteria for
the players to be in the Indian team should be constant performance.
Otherwise, they should be kicked-out. Only the best performers from
the First class matches are selected into the Indian side. One or two
games with the Indian team. No goods delivered. No team membership.
Next best performers are selected into the team. It continues.
