I just digged out the archives of 2007 world cup and was pained to see 2 defeats to BD and SL that knocked the steam out of the Indian campaign and that ended the world cup campaign of Ganguly, Dravid and Kumble. 17 March and 23 March were painful days in India's world cup history.
13 March 1996 is one such painful day in the history where SL rolled through final at India's expense in Eden Gardens.
And then there was this article from ever fucktard Kumar Sangakara
"India at home and India overseas are two different teams.
To be honest, though, I feel sorry for India's cricketers. They'll now face a torrent of criticism and abuse in the coming weeks. Fanatical fans will no doubt be burning effigies as I write. The huge expectation places their players under enormous pressure. And when that expectation is raised a degree or two, it can easily have a crippling effect."
In Sri Lanka, the general public seem to have a more easy-going perspective. Yes, most Sri Lankans are passionate about sport, especially cricket, but we also seem to understand that sport is sport. I am not sure whether that more balanced attitude is the product of two decades of civil war, or merely reflects the more happy-go-lucky style of an island nation. The attitude of our fans makes it easier for us. Yes, we still get our fair share of criticism. There can be mud-slinging in the media too. But our houses are not stoned when we lose and we can still walk down the street without fearing for our safety. I am grateful for this and really don't envy the situation of India and Pakistan's top cricketers.
This is right time to ensure Sangakara and his men are steamrolled in this world cup ruthlessly and also to ensure he is never able to speak such a crap again. We would then need to feel pity for Sri Lankan cricketers. Yeah they are easy going people who killed their own countrymen who spoke Tamil for 20+ years and were subjected to inhuman war crimes in the war zone over past few years. Something that never happened in India or even in Pakistan.
Its time India or some other team beat SL huge so that none of their overrated players are able to write articles full of venom like this. Once they lose, the normal fans of SL who are no more than waterboys in the world cricket would come out and stone the houses of idiots like Sangakara. Fucker!!!!
1 Perspectives:
By dropping Sanath Jaysuriya, the hero of 1996 winning team i am already feeling pity for them. They will kick their own ass by dropping him and Vaas. They are playing in Asian pitches where sanath is best bet, if not as batsmen he can bowl decent spells and control the runs....They are in a group of Australia, Pakistan, NZ. i find it difficult to imagine them going past quarter. So forget about feeling pity after world cup i feel sorry for them right now...They dropped a person of calibre of sanath who made them reach finals of 2 world cup (1996 and 2007).
