I am talking about the last test match between India and England at Mumbai. Yes, Dravid chooses to ball first, Tendulkar failed twice, Dhoni played what may be termed as the worst possible shot in that situation, and the famed Indian batting order collapsed in 15 overs after lunch.
The Indian fans and journalists take out Indian cricket team's obitury. Sachin Tendulkar was booed!! And such a hue and cry was raised all for a small game of cricket and that too a not so significant match....
Just to put things in perspective, lets go back to WC 1999. Yes, I am going to talk about the greatest ODI match ever played. The semi-finals between Australia and SA. Lance Klusener who had till then played as if he is GOD took SA to all but one run from victory when Donald was run out going for the winning run. Match was tied and SA was out of the World Cup in which arguably they had been the best team. Forget all that, there was one person who didnt deserve to be on any losing side that world cup - Lance Klusener. And in the post match conferance when journalists were waiting for some philosophical statement from the dejected Lance guess what he says - "Hey, nobody died!!"
I guess the fans also should realise it is after all just a game. Enjoy it while it goes on and then forget about it.
