How come you always manage to put in a comment when ICT doesnt do well? You were so mum when they won last week.

that is the whole point. they would do well. but they would falter. then the process repeats.

Sorry to irritate you again. But this has to be done everytime the Indian team wins to wake up emotional loosers like you. The win was close to historic with good old Sachin and Saurav contributing to it. And yes ,Sachin played a risky shot in his 90s to up the run rate and got himself out. So time to put you foot into your mouth and wait for that one defeat. You can keep mum now and bounce back if they loose at Lords.

oh i loved it when sachin used to thrash mr. warne around the ground. i was a fan then. they lost me as a fan in the middle somewhere. something special is needed to gain me back.

The match fixing scandal i guess.
Sachin Tendulkar is being downed by peoples expectations due to his previous performances. So he’s struggling to keep up with his past! People have actually started hating him as he doesnt fullfill their expectations as he would in the past. ( He would atleast come up with a 50 once in three ODIs) Now he just cant do it with the same regularity and flair.
Thats my theory so to say. I want to put a “smiley” ..but theres no icon on my screen.
