Hmmmm....another world cup, another game lost, another disappointment to all those cricket devoted fans; cricket lovers. Anger, Frustration, and Cries. The Indian janta gets all fanatic when it comes to cricket matches. Even sitting miles and miles away from the country I get to listen to all the current commentary of how "The Indian Team" is performing and how they lose!!(Well most of the times). It is so surprising that "The national game, Hockey" gets unacknowledged almost all the time but if Sachin catches cold it becomes a national news. I am not against the cricket fans cause I also happen to be one, but all I am trying to understand is why a game like cricket is always hyped up all the time? Is media and the normal janta responsible for such a lousy performance of Indian team in the World Cup???
Lets analyze a little bit here.... Cricket being a very important game, which relates to the sentiments of so many Indians is no doubt a big time deal. So that makes all the players very important too; but does that mean that the players really deserve that much media attention?? Isn't getting too much media attention giving its adverse effects on their performance at world cup?? Culture overpowered and driven by Vanity, Greed and Money. By giving so much attention and throwing away all the money to the player just to endorse some advertising brand results in a clouded attitude of the players. Well, which... is an undeniable attitude of human nature. Money relates to greed and apathy. Once there is an undisturbed flow of money, cricketers start taking things very easily and distract themselves from the main reason behind their unmatched success and then their center of attention shifts from playing to working on endorsements and building up hotels and restaurants. And the result..... another lousy performance in the match and India looses against some new upcoming team. How sad can this be, breaks heart and hopes hundreds and thousands of Indians. When asked to cricketers about there failure, my God!...do they come up with such impressive and convincing excuses. Media then again comes into play and literally curses the team for not performing well in the match. What if this whole media cycle does not come into play at all? What if they never make them sit on the ninth cloud and then spin their heads and then let them fall straight on the ground!! Will that help India improve in their performance?? I don't know but I do believe that it will definitely help. Hmmmm... what do u think??
