Its the media that is spineless. It covers everything related to cricket in the world. If it has anything to do with India, then thats a bonus.
The day is not far when the gully cricket in somalia and ghana will get some coverage in indian media.
who cares what mickey arthur writes ? i dont think any indian has heard of him. but our rediff and then later on some stupid newschannels will broadcast this and give him free publicity.
You may have heard of the adage of people living in glass houses not throwing stones at others. The meltdown by SA in the 1999 semi-final is talked about to this day as the worst example of an international side playing cricket. Yes, getting out in 20 overs was without doubt a dark spot for Indian cricket, but we did bounce back and win the next match. SA has to still get anywhere close to a WC final yet. The ghosts of that 1999 semi-final will forever haunt your team which seemed to be fairly active off the field if your own man, Herschelle Gibbs is to be believed.
The book is irrelevant.Who is Mickey Arthur? one of the nobodies of cricket.India play SA next.This is just a mind game.Anyway what are the stats from 2008 to date.How many wins for India? In sport you win and you lose.What matters is how the team picks itself up after a loss.
This guy has lost the brain and along with coaching job...wat a way to sell his crass book by targeting indian team..btw its not new arthur... every white does that...but gets little.also gilly did the same thing by criticising sachin...
btw wat was ur SA team position after that Ahmd test in kanpur....they were dancing like hens on turning wicket in 2nd innings at kanpur...this a gud line to get ur book selled in india..u might get millions for it,if you also include SA are pathetic in WC matces,pathetic in producing quality spinners,pathetic in playing quality spins and SPINELESS TOO,plz include these words.DO not forget..
I remember that match very well. So disappointing to get all down on 76 on an indian pitch, even though that was Mohali. We should accept our weaknesses

and also demonstrate our strengths. Which we did the next match. and arthur has a heartburn there as well.
how could he get the credit away from his own team by saying this. he knows his autobiography is not selling anywhere so he is crying at different places now. what a looser.
