Well respect to the passion of Indian Cricket Fans

And I thought no one will care after India's loss in the WC.

There was an ODI match vs Aus earlier this year at Vizag (in march, just before IPL)    Guess what.   Our legendary batting line up got bundled out for 117. Starc picking up 5 wickets, IIRC.   Aus chased it in 11 overs.

Dead rubber. But we suck in live rubber as well.

This is also a sort of coping up mechanism for these fans.  I feel for them though.  Even in this useless bilateral paytm trophy, we hv no chance.   Our bowling attack is club level.

It was not a dead rubber.  It was the 2nd match of the 3 match odi series.  We lost 2nd and 3rd match and hence lost the series too.   We had won only the 1st match.

Not everyone is emotionally invested in WC like that. 

 

Many people take it just as sports and entertainment and that's how it should be.

Feel for Indian fans. They are maligned, but damn it do they have patience, passion and most importantly hope. No non-SC country's fans would tolerate 10 consecutive ICC tournament chokes, even more embarrassing in our case because of BCCI's riches, India's enormous human resources, lack of competition from other sports etc. 

 

 

[Gollum]

Anyway hope @LordPrabhzy wakes up (in UK?) to this thread 

[sensible-indian]

Logically i get it.

 

Emotionally...f that sh*t. 

 

As fans, we need to demand more.

 

This behavior is why BCCI thinks they can get away with anything.

 

Any moron will look like a genius businessman when he is serving a rabid hungry market with little to no competition.

 

Its when the tide shifts, he gets exposed.

 

Luckily for BCCI, the tide wont shift for decades..if at all.

 

They will keep doing what they are doing.

Small cities receive very few games no doubt people line up to watch

Never change Indian fans and never change BCCI. With fans like these we deserve more humiliation in the future.

I think it would be little harsh to criticize the fans especially those living in tier 2 or tier 3 cities when they come out to cheer for their team.   Those cities hardly get any intl matches.   And secondly, they would like to eventually move on sooner or later.  Cann't keep living in the past.

Should've held the finals in a small city instead of making it a massive BJP showcase failure!

If you move on from your past same results will repeat. The only way hit BCCI and make them feel accountable is to hit their revenues. Where's the incentive to work if you keep rewarding them after repeated failures. Unfortunately common fans don't understand that and the same cycle will repeat time and time again.

I can understand your pain.  Like u and me,  there are billions who are going through this trauma.  As fans we will do what we can.    I m planning to stop watching these games on TV/Hotstar till we win an ICC trophy.  I hv boycotted ipl long ago.

I know we can't do without cricket. That's why I just follow the scores and commentary on cricbuzz and Cricinfo. Now I will do the same again. After a long time I watched this world cup on live television.
