To see or not to see a Psychologist!!!!


Today's news shouted from the top of their pens...."Sreesanth needs to see psychologists"...yea right! And you expect Sreesanth to come and sit in front of you while he rattles off why he feels like 'abusing', 'nailing' or being angry with all the other players in the field! In fact Sreesanth himself said he's trying to improve himself, bring changes in him, etc...so then why does he need to see a psycho when he knows he has some problem and he's trying to curb it. And for heaven's sake! He isn't some killer on the run! Tennis superstar John McEnroe, former World No.1 tennis player also had temper problems when he played, and this guy did damn well! So what's wrong when Sree does it? Yea its true if he shows this aggression as a player and I mean professionally. But should not take it on personally.


And who says the Australians are the kind gentlemen at heart or who get hurt so easily by these actions. They will get back if they have to and there are no two ways about it! And even we have seen their on-field action and I do mean 'action'! At least we have a player who does not chew his nails when he feels we will be losing out soon enough but someone who fights back!


So please leave the youngster alone and let him do his own evaluation as to what he needs to improve and I don't think there is anything wrong in him. Heck! The guy admitted he is highly (if that pleases you Mr Psychologist!) highly-aggressive!


So be aggressive Sreee...only do not take it personally be cool yet aggressive! And we love watching your actions on field!

Cricketing Blues!

Now that India has won the Twenty20 not to mention World Cup, everybody is damn sure these boys can 'get em and beat em' (anybody) under the sun. Even if you are an Australian they will beat them black and blue. These past days we have been celebrating the victory and even as I walk down the road I hear people talking about how proud they have made us, they have changed the whole perception of what cricket was thought and etc...

Even with the India-Australia series coming up, we are quite confident that our boys in blue will emerge as winners. Yeah right! Now with Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly we will surely clinch the title. I say why even bring them back? Why not let them retire peacefully let them get about with their own stuff? We have fresh energy, that you can literally feel adrenaline pumping through your own veins. Sourav is okay but why the other two? C'mon don't give me the stupid reason that well they are more experienced players and all that...we don't need their experience what we need is willing to take the chance, plunge into it and enjoy the game of cricket fully. Not a couple of hillie billies who stand there wasting balls and not having the balls to actually take the challenge. At least the new team proved it at Twenty20 that even if wickets start falling we actually don't cling onto one person and not play...We fight and fight with all our might! That's the change that was seriously refreshing.
But the next thing I dread to think is...what if we...what if we lose!? Will we be singing the same praises as we are doing today...coz that day we will be burning posters, effigies and God knows what else..perhaps threaten the cricketer's family or stand outside their house and humiliate them! Its okay if they lose, coz if they put up a tough fight like they put when they were playing the recent games then thats fine. At least in our heart of hearts we will know they tried, they fought but they could'nt conquer.

For now, all I can say is All the Best to our Indian Team...hope they conquer the Kangaroos and yea God give some strength to Tendulkar and Dravid. Naahhh..Sourav does not need it! Remember he's the Bengal Tiger....

Yahoooo....India is out of the World Cup!!!

For starters I dont care what the media says....who is going to replace whom, etc etc...coz is it worth worrying about it day and night who is going to be the captain, who is going to coach who is going to tamper the ball??!! Welll.....forget it

Coz I would say they deserved it right and forget reality hurts...but if you are seriously not prepared it would hurt even more...like the loss against Bangladesh says it all....and its the Bangladesh team which is in Super 8 and not us. Boohoooo....Now the BCCI will be reviewing this will check that and come up with what.....Last I heard was Mr Sharad Pawar saying that there will be two teams...What for? Who is more enthusiastic...bahhh....

Its high time that cricket is hyped and there is loads of over reacting from the public...lets concentrate on other sports and let the oldies of the cricket relax and come up with a plan that makes us all sit for the next World Cup till then concentrate on something that is interesting!

Bye for now!
