Yes exactly. The moderator removed my comment first when i mentioned this. Such a low level journalism this
We all feel extremely sorry for Dhoni. But the reaction is the shadow of ignorant modern limited over cricket fans who don't have idea of cricket grammer but enjoy every run come from the bat (wherever it touches, how the ball went past boundary and how much ball travel in the air), but feel sorry for poor bowlers who are forced to bowl with limited overs with scores of limitations. The rules and regulations of limited over cricket is clearly in favor of batsmen and bowlers are in the field to be humiliated. Be it India, pakistan, or any country. The real test of cricket is only Test matches where there is no fielding restrictions neither any bowling restrictions (recently a bowler is not allowed more than 2 bouncers in one over in the test matches too and those bouncers should also not above the head of batsman on the crease). In my opinion, T-20 matches should be stopped immediately. One dayer may remain but bowlers should be provided more rooms for exhibiting their strengths. fielding restrictions must be more liberal. Only then cricket will improve.
It is very sad that our people and media are still crazy about IPL and cricket, even after our cricketers and team officials are caught for their different types of fixing matches. Our cricketers play IPL with all sorts of injury but they don't want to play for India. Only within INDIA, our cricketers can play some level(mostly captain). But outside of India, it is very horrible performance most of the time. They go just tour using Govt. money. In addition, they fight for captaincy after playing few years and do so much politics among themselves. just 10 countries are playing. So we should focus on individual games (such as badminton, tennis, athletics, swimming, etc.,) rather than team events so that we can get many medals in Olympics and other international games.
