AND THEY SAY HOCKEY IS OUR NATIONAL GAME. Gone are the days when we can be proud of our national game today what we see is defeat ,defeat & more defeat. K.P.S Gill have rightly said experience of failure is no experience & how true he was! Today what we see is Indian hockey going from bad to worse & unfortunately there is no end to it.it fails regularly & seldom succeeds.we can always say that spain,germany,autralia,netherland,pakistan team are very good & can also shift the blame on board politics but all said & done it is responsibility of team & its every individual to convert defeat into success they can give umpteen excuses that this facility was not there or new coach is not good ..... but when they will compare what they are getting in terms of remuneration as campared to their illustrious predecessors they should consider themselves lucky for what they are getting even after losing matches again & again. Even if they are winning it is more a matter of chance rather than choice for themselves & that to once in blue moon if this is the way it is going to be I can tell you that in coming 50 years also we will never be able to won an OLYMPIC GOLD MEDAL.
Boycot Australia from playing Cricket. 1) Herschelle Gibbs caught Steve Waugh but it was declared no catch. 2) Ricky Ponting didnt caught but it was declared Catch. 3) Javagal Srinath went on to say sorry since the ball hitted Ricky Ponting but Stupid Ponting didnt even like that. 4) Ricky Ponting lacks behavioural development. 5) He just competes too much even though others are humble towards him. 6) Both New Zealand and Australia should be debarred from Cricket since their matches a wicket.
Australia won the match just because they have more money and they can invest on their players. Even though Indians although stronger than AUSTRALIANS DELIBERATELY LOST THE MATCH to give poor Australians a way to smile. If i would be as rich as Australians are i would have first become poor as Indians are and then thought of winning the match since game should only be played among equally strong teams in financial terms.
