Few things like this effort of mine have already been drafted & printed but still a thing has been found missing in them. Whole nation is disappointed & angry on the cricket demi gods for such an early exit from the premier cricketing tournament. Rightly so, every Indian is expected to feel bad & criticize the team but not in the fashion it is being done or must say being made to do by our electronic (24x7) media. The very channels which exalted the players to the status of super celebrities & encashed their popularity through daily 5 hour series like "windies ki jung" etc are now keen on making merry by degrading them to the fullest. Many so called news channels have self proclaimed cricket specialists (themselves good for nothing players of their times) who are seen brazenly abusing the present players. Our cricket team men are being labeled "losing rats", "shameless creatures" & much more degrading. It clearly sends out a message that we are a frustrated lot of people who feel happy & satisfied to blame fellow losing Indians while rudely ignoring the rationales & responsibilities. Protesting on streets while tearing & burning the player posters, taking out their dummy funeral processions & damaging their houses are some acts which in no way show the love, passion or the spirit of the fans for the game.
It only depicts that we are bad losers. The punishment if any for the players is ought to be given to them automatically through reduction in endorsements & expulsion from team.
Let's be realistic & act with maturity. Both the masses & the media.
