Ethically Speaking

I havent written on this blog for quiet sometime but have been wanting to write few of spoken topics such as Race to White house 2008. But however I feel I have to write what is close what I belive on i.e Sports, Cricket. The Indian Cricket team is having a tough time down under with what I call unexpected things going other way. We have a player on verge of ban though his ban is under appeal and umpiring calls going the other way. I feel it has been blown out of proprtions, here is the reason why it has been blown out of proportions.
1. Cricket is next to religion in India.
2. There are too many News Channels competing to get an edge to sensationalize the happening event.
3. There are millions of dollars at stake here be it for BCCI or CA.

The incident of poor umpiring is something every cricket team has seen over their playing team, The conditions Indians are facing nothing alien I remember the times of Indian Cricket tour when Sunil Gavaskar was the captain who refused to play after being given out costing India the match.

The Indian tour of 1985-1986 was marred by poor umpiring aswell, I guess India should get used to the fact of getting similar treatment down under but reacting to boycot the tour I am not sure about. Lodging protest is a way to let know but dont win it at the cost of not playing cricket, Emotions do ride high but as Cricketers we do what is best Playing good cricket.

If Aussies play hard , let us play hardball as well, who is stopping. Things which went out of proportions are

Deciding to ban a player for racist remarks which had no proof off is like ICC (Mike proctor) acting racially.
Removing an umpire to officiate the match is second greatest stupidity of ICC.

Forget all and go play good honest cricket.

Will India Win the World CUP????

Beginning of this year 2007 a lot of people were forwarding the same email of why India will win this year's world cup because of history has a fact of repeating itself. I have kind of pasted the email which was forwarded for quiet sometime until India exited from Real World Cup in W Indies. Well looks like everybody predicted it right but they were looking at wrong world cup, well sometimes if got to happen it happens so Twenty Twenty world cup was created and so India won, History repeats.
