I cried, my team lost

India lost the semi finals of Cricket World Cup, 2015. I am sad but in no way I am shamed. The team gave me enough reasons to be happy.

Those who criticize India now are those who are chronic whiners...those who keep looking for room to blame the National team and some individuals. When our own legends speak high of MSD those who have not played cricket or understood the game well keep pointing fingers against him .. that is foolish and cowardly approach. This is the time we need to support our captain and the team.. a Captain who even refused to visit home to see his new borne baby as he was on national duty.. a captain who was always balanced and focused .. a captain who never complained!!!

It is so easy now a days for these so called experts to question our team on their poor performances, without forgetting that practicing sportsmanship is a lot harder than actually preaching it. Do these morons remember their playing days? If they have conveniently forgotten, it is our duty to give them a reality check.

Dhoni lacked leadership skills need just a gentle reminder, did your uncle score the winning runs in the 2011 world cup? Weren’t you the same bunch who wrote us off before the tournament began? And weren’t you the same bunch who went gaga over we winning seven matches on the trot? Doesn’t that speak a lot about your character? You know fans like me can go on endlessly rubbing it in for questioning our heroes and their commitment. But sadly we have better things to do. Before I end this, seriously ‘Times now’ the nation wants to know “Since when did winning seven consecutive games and having one bad day in office be equivalent to shaming the nation?”

It's a pity that our own country men do not understand and appreciate the importance of Dhoni and go lengths in criticizing and blaming him for anything and everything. Little do they know that in Australia people consider these players in high esteem - Bevan the finisher, Waugh the captain and Gilly the keeper while in India we have all those characteristics combined in one person and that is Dhoni
