cricket a game in doldrums!!

My letter to editor of indiatimes.com


Dear Sir,

All these talks, articles, etc are waste, let me tell you why
1) Count the number of bans, fines against the rest of the world and against aussies, am sure u would be suprised
2) In exactly same situations a aussie goes scott free while someone else gets banned for 5 games (Rashid latif Vs Ponting)
3) Abusive language comes naturally to aussies and they are only equipped to speak not equipped to hear. so when someone else calls them names they cry and go to big daddy
4) What happened in sydney is not mere bad umpiring. Coz bad umpiring can happen on field but not on TV-3 umpire. Would request you to please dig deeper in to this.
5) Media when treated badly by players of anyother country retaliates strongly, why it hasnt done anything when ponting's arrogance asked the reporter to get out!!
6) Same mike proctor is allowed to fine, ban players at his will while the moment its the aussies he says he believe in them, its good to do so but why? and why not in an indian?

Please save the game of cricket, i had lost it once when hansie came on screen am sure i would loose it again if these aussies are not made to understand a few basic laws of human civilization.

Cricket Lost!!

1. Symonds out- not given- goes on to score a century
2. Ponting out-not given- goes on to score a half century
3. Hussey out- not given- goes on to score a century
4. Harbhajan says nothing-out- slapped a 3 match ban for calling "something" to Mr. Symonds that astonishingly no one hears except him and a few others.

Australia, the most respected team in the world cricket, ponting the most respected and highly looked upon as a captain, gilchrist one of the worlds best wicket keeper, message.... stop this stuff mates... you guys as of today stand together where Hansie stood one day...atleast he was man enough to take it on his face...

Disgusting, disrespectful, and astonishingly you still think that u have true sportsmenship... am sure u dont know the meaning of it. U want to win it win it like a man not like school boys!!.
Result: - Australia won the test match while the World of Cricket lost it big time yet again. Am sure not too much left in to be seen in forth coming games.

To me, ricky ponting, Adam gilchrist, Mathew hayden were next best "Men" after Hansie cronje. What Hansie did to world cricket in '98 with his declaration these people did it with their "astonshingly" sick performance in this test match. I think Australia is seriously afraid of loosing a match. Tell me what a weak man does when he is pushed to wall, he shouts, sledges, calls elders that u have called him names, tries to make people push u away rather doing it himself. Now think what australia did.

Trust me, it cant be a mere coincidence that all, both field umpires and a third umpire "favors" australia. I want to believe that things are not going wrong behind the scenes. I seriously want to believe. Atleast Hansie was Man enough to confess it to the world, Mr. Ponting has no clue where the ball was when he took the catch of dhoni coz he said "He thinks" he took it clean... disgusting, pathetic...am sure world cricket has witnessed one of the worst day's in its history.

Grow up aussies...please for heaven sake!! grow up...

lot of learned people will tell that u need to be mentally strong to be a good cricketer, that u not be perturbed by a comment or two, and that any assault on you is sure sign that you are doing good. I would like to have a different opinion. Tell me why is it only Australia that despite being the world champion for most number of times resorts under the rug of words when it comes to get a batsman out...we are talking about a team that has giant like Lee, symonds, ponting, gilchrist, hayden.

Or is it that these are giants coz they disrupt the concentration of opponents by a war of words. Then, if its later, how different is aussie cricket then a school level game. or let me dwell a little deeper, how different is an aussie cricketor then a kid who needs something, upon not handed over willingly he starts crying and throwing tantrums. Grow up ponting and side, u really need to prove the world that u are are bunch of men, and not mere school boys who cry, shout and sledge for being hit on one ball.

Cricket is game of character, its high time that these people start realizing it. Already cricket is loosing its charm after being dragged into a controversy of match fixing and nature, dont de grade it by behaving like school boys and acting kiddish..I dont understand the need of use of the "F" word, coz in my opinion you would still need to bowl the batsman out, yeah i agree it would be different if ICC can allow someone being called out just by calling names to him...:-)
