BlueBlood Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 This series has proven once again that I am wasting my time and not focusing on my busy career following a cricket team that obviously doesn't care and keeps making the same mistakes. This loss hurts more than the 2021 T20 WC and others as at that time we could blame the toss, blame Varun Chakravarthy or someone else. It's like Indian cricket with Dravid and Rohit has gone back to 90's era where bowlers suck, fielding sucks and batting is hit or miss even though the bench strength of all-rounders and pacers for T20 format with Sundar, Thakur, Chahar, Venky Iyer, Tewatia, Mohsin, Umran, Sen, Siraj etc. is stronger than we ever had. It's no longer fun - I enjoyed the SA series where we had Samson, Gill, Kishan, Siraj, Bishnoi and other youngsters playing their heart out. Next we will have bilateral tours and IPL where all the mistakes will be covered up again. Some of the people I work with already told me that IPL ratings are quite low compared to the past and advertisers don't want to shell out a premium as before. I think this IPL the ratings will be even lower as people understand that some of these players are not world champions. I will be back before the next world cup in India. Hopefully by then we select an actual team based on merit and form rather than seniority culture. Good luck to all and wish you the best in your personal and professional lives. tweaker, Stuge, asterix and 5 others 3 2 3 Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I will be watching when new players like Jaiswal, Patidar, Moshin khan thrown in the mix. Can't stand one more match where Rohit/KLR opening. or even Dhawan in ODI for that matter. Rohit changed like 7 or 8 openers. But now only it appears they were cosmetic change. Come world cup. not even once a floater was used. raki05 1 Link to comment
Majestic Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I guess the reason you created a thread for this is so that you could leave ICF and not post anytime soon even if you feel so. Link to comment

GautiMaan Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Yes it does it hard, earlier when the team used to lose at least there was some indignation among the cricket fraternity and a hope for some changes to be rung in, but now any humiliation even a 10 wicket loss to Pak and a gutless semi final performance is seen as par for the course, I guess the IPL moolah negates everything. A special kind of apathy is being shown to followers of the national team and there is no reason to take it. express bowling 1 Link to comment

Everything you have quoted is correct but quitting ICF does not help. We all can join hands and demand accountability. Your quitting is not right. nevada 1 Link to comment

These are tough and demorialising times for an Indian Cricket fan, but leaving ICF isn't the solution IMO, best way is to avoid watching matches for some time and stick to scorecard view only. Use ICF as a forum to express your views and points across how you feel about the game of cricket, as a fan many times we feel a need to say out our opinions what we can't in front of family/friends (due to x,y,z reaons), this forum gives you that freedom. Also, you can learn new things about cricket which you can pass on to your kids, nephews, neices etc who are planning to take up cricket as their profession.

deepdynamo Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I will be not taking any interest in any bilateral from now on till next year Asia Cup and WC. Zero interest in NZ tour. Will not be watching a single ball. Link to comment
Norman Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Good luck. Will say the same for me too but i will most likely be back for the Tests against Bangladesh and also the BG trophy at home. Have zero interest in all the useless white ball games. Link to comment

BacktoCricaddict Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Not me. I'm old enough to celebrate the wins, forget the losses and keep pulling for the team while also complaining about the way it is run. It is therapeutic! Like a moth to a flame, I will keep returning.

Let me read that again. ICF is responsible for the humiliating early exit of India. So, we get a new wave of excellent non-jhola chap writers, influential writers like Boria, Gultoria, Vikrant, Johns, etc , and demand accountability, will the Indian team get better? Somebody takes their time in ICF very seriously! I don’t share the blame, BCCI ki aisi ki taisi! raki05, Khota and rollingstoned 3 Link to comment

coffee_rules Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Ah F it!. I am inspired by OP and I might as well quit too. Even I am super very upset with the SF loss and feel I am wasting my time here instead of focusing on my career. I will be back later in the evening when I get bored with my fledgling career sandeep 1 Link to comment
