The Editor's Note to the Article "Disaster Down Under" gave additional insight about Lavakare who is well known to readers like me through his regular Columns not connected to Sports. Indeed a lot of 'feathers' in his Hat.
Arvind, I am totally amazed in the way U have written. Every body should rally behind the team and encourage them People like you create this loser attitude in Player's minds Please stop writing such crap. Constructive Critiscm is one thing What U try to do is very destructive for the team. I kindly ask U to shut up.
I could not comment on the first article by Arvind on cricket...but undoubtedly it was the best article on Indian cricket. The article with the highest common sense. Even though I have played for the college, I doubt you need to have cricekting brains of Sachin to figure it out. Anybody with common sense, who can keep his eyes open and think & talk straight can figure it out. Of course, Arvind is one such person with abundance. His current article is again abosoultely on the mark! Rather than those (former/current) players who are just writing some goody-goody "crapola", mostly to earn big bucks any way...Arvind's article was a refreshing change! Thanks rediff.
The comments of Lavakare are honest, forthright, and mostly in line with what majority of India's intelligent cricket lovers believe in. At the end of the Indian tour it is better is review these remarks.
the Entire media is always negative about everything in Indian cricket. I don't know it's a money making tactics or what.. I have never seen a positive article about inidan cricket.
Remember, good or bad, it's still "our" team. If you don't write good about your team, no one will.
I am not saying there is no problem in our team. But we should also change our attitude a bit.
