Before blaming media, dont forget that it is this media which brought you endless endorsements and advertisement oppurtunity. You were neither reluctant then nor you were blaming then. But when you have lost a match (out of ur own inpreparedness and laziness) you have started blaming the media.
Bangladesh issued a caution signal by beating New zealand in the warm up game. U should have taken the clue from there and you and your team mates should have got mentally prepared for the challenge. But instead of that it was a display of some muscle-less fight. Had it been Australia, things would have been different. They would have come mentally prepared for the challenge.
Mr. Dravid, I guess you have gone to the West Indies for winning the cup and not to booze and party on the shores. Winning the cup, means winning each and every game of the tournament. There are no excuses for inpreparedness, there is no 30 runs short in a WC tournament.
Atleast if you had put some tough fight against Bangladesh and inspite of that bangladesh has won, we can conclude that bangladesh played better cricket on that day. But what you and ur team mates did was a mere surrender on all 3 departments of the game.
Mr. Dravid, you can learn lessons from 2 great men, Ponting and Inzamam, learn to win like Ponting if not retire from the game like Inzamam. There are millions of youngsters in this country waiting for a chance, so cricket will not end if you retire. So the message to you at last is: deliver or Get Lost !!
