I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the plight of the Indian cricket team and the board that administers the sport in India. The Indian cricket team was on an all-time high after winning the World Cup in April 2011. At that they time, they were also coming off a great test series in South Africa, and were rated the number 1 test team in the world.
Come the English Summer and it all came crashing down. India lost 8 tests in a row, the first 4 in England and the next 4 in Australia. Add to this fact that the Board of Cricket Control in India (or the Board of Criminals and Crooks in India) is losing sponsors and TV revenue, this sport, which is a colonial relic, faces a glum future.
The sooner cricket collapses, the better for India. India's cricketers are a greedy, selfish set of parasites, who have never done anything for the betterment of the country. While Australian cricketers come back to India post-retirement to help the sick and the poor, India's cricketers, who are treated as national heroes do nothing. Instead, they ask the government to bend rules so they can destroy heritage structures and construct ugly monstrosities in prime land. They ask for tax relief and import duty waivers. And a set of sycophants support these cricketers blindly.
I remember 1 particular incident in 2009. The Indian cricket team was in New Zealand and there were complaints that they had to pick up their own bags from the airport and load them themselves on to the bus. Apparently, the New Zealand authorities didn't provide them porters! This was a major issue and people close to me condemned New Zealand for this!!!
Well, time's up for cricket and the good times are gone for Indian cricketers.. Welcome to reality!!
