Indian cricket team to play for Bermuda ????

Why "would" the Indian team play for Bermuda ? Or rather why "should" the Indian team play for Bermuda ?

Well by this time ... if you are through with reading newspapers and switching the television off or barely managing work between the cricket discussions ... then you might have realised it by now, that its so obviously evident, that the highly unprofessional set of ppl ( ie।, majority of them ) representing Indian media, the beurocrats, a very highly impressionable audience ( ha ha read whatever u wd like here ॥) ...are all swayed by the filthy politics of money, power, unprofessionalism, SOA ( saving-one's-ass ) syndrome and a terribly consumeristic behavior/emotion ....all of which can be seen in various departments/facets involved.

And I thought it was all about a sport ...so there has to be something called sporting behaviour or sportsmanship as they say ... in whatsoever is associated with the game ( even the so called supporter or viewer ). BTW ... Did you actually ...forget that a word like that existed ....usually with a sport or otherwise ??? Well...to refresh one's memory or to help one re-learn the meaning of the same...please see this link.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sportsmanship
It says : " Conduct and attitude considered as befitting participants in sports, especially fair play, courtesy, striving spirit, and grace in losing. "

Please read that again .....

Now on a serious note, please make sure that you cut your childs fingers next time, when he/she is unable to perform exceptionally well in his examinations. Or maybe ask yourself to resign and become an ascetic the day you lose a project or have a bad mismanaged day at office...or maybe feel the truth of your incompetency levels. Please do that ...and do remind yourself that, as and when required...HA HA ...allright .... the humor was sick ..I totally agree.

On a seriously serious note, the fact that one's own team ....read that again ..'one's own team' should get the support and a fair assesment, and not the ramblings and ideas of a billion cooks or better still a billion gun points, as it is quite evidently the case here.
And in case, the mind is unable to move away from one or two individuals ............there's a trivia here ..." Who is the player who topped both the batting and bowling averages for India in the world cup ???"
Yess its true ... ONE PLAYER has topped both the bowling and batting averages. Am talking only statistics here ....no bias ..no rubbish ...
Ok, now for the answer : The player-average's statistics, both in the batting and bowling department for India can be seen below ....

Now do you find the name ( the culprits name ) quite familiar ... ? And also do explore some more statistics with other nations there, which are interesting to compare and contrast.

The "team" ( pls remind and check the meaning of this word as well...TEAM) had a bad day in front of 1 billion gun points instead of 11 opposition players. Few "teams" in the world, do well in whatever capacities .....bcoz of their very limited say few million 'genuine' support and organized mind-set and human-like behaviour ...rather than a billion pure consumers.

Heyyy.....Wat was the original question ? Ahh yess why should the Indian team play for Bermuda ?Well, Bermuda definitely seemed to be a more sporting nation afterall. And the team deserves to look for a better nation backing them instead of the reverse.
Is that a nasty suggestion ? ... Think about it.
