Team India: The coach that ran into the captain

The last time I blogged, was the last time the Indians played a reasonably good game of cricket. The Pakis were downed at the Eden Gardens, and I was generally pissed as I could not watch the winning moments. Since then, Indian cricket has gone spiralling down. If the bookies used to bet on an Indian win then, they are now afraid to bet on how low can the team go. Everytime I watch a game, I am convinced that Team India has touched rock-bottom, and things cannot go any worse than this. But to their credit, they keep re-defining levels of mediocrity after every passing game.

I won't comment on the big war happening between the coach and the captain, but the coach would sure want to eat his Chappal after the incident. I don't blame him though. He was after all having the team's improvement in his mind, but he never bargained on running into a loud and loose mouthed captain. Taking bold steps has never been an Indian trait, and it kinda reflects on foreigners associated with India too. Nevertheless, lets hope the seeds that have been sown over the last 1 week grow into a wonderful harvest, despite the woeful fertilizers(BCCI) and big-headed and useless remains of last years crop(You-know-who)
