Cricket - Lost Glory

Indian cricket teams are pulling up excuses and more excuses to cover their dismal performance in their recent one day series. Asked about their shameful loss to Pakistan, the team's new coach Greg Chapell comments that the "they(team) were distracted". Distracted! On what?. Were they on drugs or alcohol or were the girls in the boundary stand too hot to handle?. Did the dhoodbedawalas lured our Ganguly Dada to make a quick exit to the stands?. What a totally unacceptable excuse. In a country where every 4th grader's desire is to make it to the elite Indian cricket team, where every match costs a millions (or more) bucks to the nation by half the goverment employees not showing up for work, our performance in any sports arena for that matter is pathetic.
Lack of committment to play the game with heart and soul , focussing on one's own personal records rather than focussing on team's performance are the root causes for the team miseries. Based on my aficonado, I feel that there should be strict rules saying that every team player's advertisement goes to the Indian cricket team and the team decides on how much to give to the players depending on their individual performance. All said and nothing done, it is just the crowd who are bunch of idiots.
