I will now be under a lot of stress

[King]

Now that the much awaited test series against South Africa kicks off soon. I can handle 4-0 loss in ODIs no problem but cannot face the test loss ever. I was down for a long time after India lost the Karachi test against Pak early this year followed by the loss against England at Mumbai. I cannot take a test loss well at all. I hope India will do well in the test series otherwise I will lose sleep for days.

Re: I will now be under a lot of stress WTF ? You can't possibly be serious ! Well it sounds stupid anyway. I have NEVER lost sleep over an Indian defeat, and i've seen some of the ugliest days of Indian cricket !! Don't take this sh*t so seriously man. Enjoy the victories and cherish the moments, and at the same time - let the defeats roll off your back like beads of sweat. 'Tis all in the past. It's certainly not something worth getting upset over... :shrug:

Re: I will now be under a lot of stress I struggled to sleep before and after the WC final. I was devasted after. Next day I was back to normal though. Sometimes when massive game struggle to sleep night before due to excitment. Very Sad I know!

Re: I will now be under a lot of stress Are you guys for real ? Are you all really THAT emotionally attached to this team ?

Re: I will now be under a lot of stress totally agree with you ravi, such a performance in the Tests will hurt for some time to come. ODI defeats and wins are mundane everyday happenings. i cant see what the big fuss is about.

Re: I will now be under a lot of stress For me, it depends on how well play in a loss, irrespective of tests or ODIs. If we outright suck (like we did against SAF), I am more angry than sad. In the test series against WI, we were so close to a win in 2 of the first 3 tests, that I was very very happy we won the final test and the series and would have been sad if we had lost/drawn the series In this test series, if we are competitive and lose closely, I will be sad. If we just outright stink it up and lose by wide margins, I will curse at the players and coach than feel sad.

Re: I will now be under a lot of stress It depends on how we lose.. for example, the loss in karachi didnt affect me cuz it was unfair series due to vaious reasons.. england tied series was upsetting cuz we didnt play upto our potential..and they were depleted side.. and we were at home.. lets see how this test series turns out..

Re: I will now be under a lot of stress same here, ravi.... more than the karachi loss, wen we could not seal the deal in mohali test, when popeye and katmal rescued pakis... i was shattered for a week..... thts wen i totally lost it for Ganguly.... unimaginative at its best....

Re: I will now be under a lot of stress I have to be honest it hurts me as much when NZ end up losing a test match or the test series too. The worst I've felt so far is when Pakistan won against NZ in the 2002 test series. That is when Sami, Gul and Akthar came out of blue to deliver. Then I lost sleep for few days too. Any number of ODI wins didn't really make me feel better. Now am really looking forward to the SA test series and for once whatever the ODI results so far I can't be convinced India will lose the test series. Both my heart and head says India will come good in the test series. :wtg:

Re: I will now be under a lot of stress The thing with test matches are that we spend 5 days watching it. The players and the team has a chance to come back. The team that does consistently for say about 3/4 of the sessions will win and rightly so. The ODIs are so different, you may not always find the best team winning thanks to couple of brisk knocks. Test matches are well and truly tests the character of a team.

Re: I will now be under a lot of stress very optimistic.. one of our senior batter has to come up with gem..else there is no chance.. Teams needs inspiration...

Re: I will now be under a lot of stress The worst that happened to me was getting a bummed out the day after the WC 03 finals loss....apart from that, I get pissed off for an hour or two following a loss (nowadays I can't be bothered to even get worked up), but never ever lost sleep or anything like that.

Re: I will now be under a lot of stress Not only I lost $2k on WC Final, but I had the worst hangover next day..however India won in my dreams Frankly these days I fast forward recorded matches coz I cant wait to watch the result
