Something we all can learn from teams like England

[Cricketics]

I know we are over it, and we are in semis, but I continue to get tagged somehow on my social media pages where Bangladesh claim us to be cheaters or having owned all the umpires. I know it's all childish and we shouldn't bother, but one thing which strikes me is that desi people mentality is like that. We create protest etc on such issues. Now let's look at England. They might have played bad cricket, but that Chris Jordan's dismissal wasn't really clearly out. They could have been easily won that game had he not been given out and INdia would have played England. But instead, they were sent back. This was very emotional for their fans, but I didn't see such drama from their fans. I think they do take in spirit. It's fine to be disappointed like people often are and it is common human nature, but England here took it like true sportsman. :hatsoff:

England doesn't care about Cricket especially ODI. If it had been soccer

[zen]

That's could be because English are used to not making it in big tourneys whether it is cricket or soccer For BD, it was like its wildest dreams came true and next day it was back to earth .... And the mauka mauka ads probably had a psychological effect on the nation .... Even if it doesn't want to, BD will have to learn to move on In the 2003 WC, I still think that Bhajji had Ponting LBW when he was in his 60s. That fool Buckner looked the other way :hitler: .... And let's not forget how Ind lost the test series against OZ because of bad umpiring. When expectations are high, it can be hard to take things sometime. But hopefully BD will learn However, I don't think the umpiring was that bad in the Ind vs. BD game. Benefit of doubt goes to the batsman so Rohit got it. I did not watch the game live but I believe that Dhawan's fielding would have appeared to be clean so again there is no point for BD in making mountains out of molehills

England are just boring in every way imaginable. They are crap at bowling, fielding, batting, and moaning.

It was Dinesh Mongia and Ponting was 46* with Australia 223-2 EGqDUZ6e9cU

^ oh yeah, that one too :hitler: .... and then there was a shout by Bhajji as well if my memory serves me right thought I may have got the closeness mixed with the Mongia's one :hmmmm:

English public are busy with 6 nations rugby or EPL. No one here gives a damn about cricket. Many ppl in my ofc dont even know that there is a cricket worldcup happening

[AmreekanDesi]

English don't give two hoots about ODI cricket or any cricket apart from Ashes to be fair so cant compare they still cry abt the Lampard ghost goal in 2010
