Dhoni and Nehra, u SUCK...really ?

I HAD TO WRITE THIS ONE.

i didn't plan to write this, but the moment i opened my Facebook page, i realized i had to write this. not to stir your souls or to make a point...i am writing this for my own sake, for my mind and for my soul.

Mr MS Dhoni, what was the need to face 37 balls and score a MERE 12 runs for your team, anyways that would have just pre-poned our defeat by an over, right? what was the need to stick on the crease for so long when others were throwing their wicket away like they were used condoms? what was the need to use Nehra in the last over when you had Harbhajan Singh available?

Mr Ashish Nehra, why did you bowl the last over? why did you go for a six and an UNLUCKY four in your last over when we wanted to win the game?

from the TV room to the lobby of snack shack where i witnessed the last over of the match, i kept hearing people blaming them and what's worse, abusing them. well, we are good at abusing others. i mean when we don't spare our own friends, why should we spare these mere mortal normal human beings who are trying to make us proud by winning a effing cricket match for us. i am one of them i admit, i also take a lot of pleasure in abusing others, i guess thats our way of showing love, isn't it?

tell me guys, did it ever cross your mind...why dhoni wanted to bat till the 50th over? why didn't he tried for big shots in the slog overs like others did? 

lemme answer this. i believe that he wanted to bat till the last over to add whatever he could to stretch our total.as he pointed out later - "The second powerplay, what is important is you don't play for the crowd you play for your country. We should have batted the full fifty overs". he wasn't at his best, i admit it too but so were Pathan,Yuvraj and Kohli. but just think if these 3 would have played sensibly without throwing away their wicket and added a minimum of even 5 runs each, our total would have been 311 and i am not adding the contribution by the lower order cause i don't expect them to do miracles when other so called specialist batsmen went down. and don't you think 311 would have been better than 296 in any damn case?

i reckon most of you hate Dhoni because he isn't playing his natural sparkling game any more but that doesn't means you have to blame him for everything. yes, he makes mistakes cause he is nothing but a human being like us, but he shouldn't be cursed for all the mistakes that the team makes. and as far as choosing Nehra over Bhajji is considered, i am sure you all will agree that to whack a spinner is easier than hitting a fast bowler. too bad that it wasn't nehra's day nor dhoni's and so we lost but still to blame Nehra for this defeat is like acting like those kindergarten kids, the way they blame the floor for hurting them every time they fall down. this coming from someone who was never a big fan of Ashish Nehra.

Basically, its all about India. you all want that India wins, just like me. times like this are the one when our team needs us the most. instead of blaming them and abusing them, show your support cause there is always a next chance and we learn only when we fall.

secondly, we don't deserve to say anything. they have earned their place in the team and we are just sitting in our tv rooms without feeling the pressure the way they have on their broad shoulders. please don't over burden these shoulders with your curse but extend your support to their tired shoulders, they will surely accept a fresh pair of hands to support them. after all, JEETEGA TOH INDIA HI, kisi bhi haal mein!

cheeers guys...for INDIA!

here is a quote that crossed my mind from the movie Robin Hood -

''Rise and rise again until lambs become lions''
