CHEERS TO THE WEST INDIES CRICKET TEAM

Congratulations to the Windies for coming out with a superlative performance to beat a truly professional England Team. The two tailenders for the Windies (not intending any harm to their batting prowess) Bradshaw and Browne showed that it is not great batsman or great bowlers with lot of talent, flamboyance or big names who make the match winners, but it is simple people with commitment, grit, self-belief and above all the hunger for victory and bringing pride to the country one represents who make match winners.

We have great talented and skilled cricketers in the Indian team but not one match winner. Down the years our Indian Captains have said that on “Our Day” we can beat any team in the world. But the real champions are the ones who can beat any team on any day.

It is high time our cricketers display atleast half the commitment and determination that they display in improving their commercial value. Our cricketers are now seen performing more off the ground rather than on it. I think just like Australia has two teams one each for Test Cricket and One-day internationals, we in India should also have two teams one to do commercials and one to actually play cricket.
