What does Agneepath mean? "Path of fire???" Well whether or not Indian Cricket team is able to walk on fire, but I am burning with fire...you may call it anger or "Kolaveri" to be on the same side of the world...
Why are Indian team sometime so deplorable? (A proper question could be How can they be?)
After having so many hopes and faith on them they shouldn't be playing such bad and getting cursed from their countrymen and fans.
I have never been such critical with the Indian team. There was a time when even if 4 wickets fell I used to think that the match is all but over. But that has changed now...We won the world Cup, T20 cup, we were no.1 in Test for almost 2 yrs... Indian team with no fighting spirit is a thing of past. We have learnt how to win a game out of nowhere. I have mastered myself to believe that even if 2 wkts are left we can chase 50 odd runs left. We do not succumb to pressure anymore.
Call it madness or whatever I even believed that India's tour to England (July-Sept '11) and its 4-0 drubbing was nothing more than a nightmare. And I knew that the team will wake up from that bad dream. After the home series against WI everybody was eagerly waiting for the series downunder (The Agneepath series). For me it was a kind of festival.
Boxing day test: Fighting and keeping the Test in balance for the 1st 3 days gave me joy, but unexpectedly Indians lost the match from nowhere in just two sessions after gifting Aus a healthy 4th wkt partnership after reducing them to 27/4....All is still well as we all know that Indians are poor starter. But this raises many questions. Why such a bad perfromance by Gambhir in the 2nd Test then? What happened to Laxman? Dhoni, why have you become so defensive? How can you score only 191 when you chose to bat first and you have some of the best batsman in the world? What's wrong with Kohli? How can you let Aussie build partnerships when you take their 1st 3 wks for some 20 runs? Well that may not be answered and even I dont want any answer.
I only want my team to perform well. I want my team to fight. I want them to show their real capabilites. I have high hopes on them. I don't want them to take me back to the team of 1990s and starting 2000s. I have had enough of them. I believe on my present team. I know they can do well than how they are presently performing. So please do well.......
I write this just before the start of 3rd days play. Australia is leading by some 290 runs in the 1st inn and still have 6 wks left. On a funny note Clarke is leading the whole Indian team's run by 60 run. A neutral guy would say Clarke would score a triple hundred and India will lose by big margin if not Innings defeat.
But I as a hardcore Indian fan still believe that Indians will turn the table around given the batting line up they have. I hope they replicate the feat they achieved in Eden Garden in 2001. All the best and good luck! "Aal is well!!!!!"

And the series has been lost. What was expected has happened....
Losing the above mentioned match by an innings and 68 runs(http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia-v-india-2011/engine/current/match/518951.html) and losing the subsequent match again by an inn and 37 runs..
Was utterly disappointed, humiliated and embarassed. Team India losing 7 match on a streak on away soil and that too they were no.1 team 6 months ago is very hard to imagine.
No matter whatever happens I will remain a hardcore Indian supporter and fan...
