Team India: At least be decent even if you don't win any game

11 January, 2012

Winning or losing is part of the game but you should be at least decent because you are ambassadors..

OUR CRICKET Team has very recently lost to Australia by 2-0 in the Tests, not a problem. It happens in the game. In any match you are either going to win or lose and at times there can be even a draw. But don’t you remember that every player of the team represents his/ her nation and you are as good as an ambassador of a country.

Some of our cricket players have been involved into unwanted/ undesired controversies which should have been avoided and they not only spoiled the image of their country but they were asked to pay a penalty on this accord. We are here referring to the names of our bright future cricketers namely Virat Kohli and Ishant Sharma who misbehaved and acted funny in the field; very shameful on their part.

Virat Kohli had to shell out his fifty percent playing amount since he showed his middle finger to the spectators at Sydney and now Ishant Sharma also repeated the same old story/ silly mistake at Perth with raising his middle finger at the crowd. Certainly Ishant Sharma will also face the fire and like Virat Kohli, will be penalized today or tomorrow without fail.

Even Skipper M S Dhoni booed at a go-kraaling club. The manager of the Indian Team must ensure that the players do maintain good discipline while in the field and even when they move to clubs or hotels.
