Toughest job in India

It is one of the toughest job in India. Can anyone guess ??.. Is it being a doctor, an engineer, a politician .... NOO.. It is being captain of the Indian cricket team. The defending champions were thrown out the T20 World Cup yesterday by the not so very good England. 153 to chase, India which had terrific batting line-up failed to make it although they inched closer to the target. I was watching TV in a public place this morning and the channel was CNN-IBN. Dhoni's pic zooming in and out at different angles to show that he has failed. Rediculous !!!.. Also Dhoni's pic alongside Sehwag's stating the clash between them. God knows the truth and the media completely scrwed it up making "captain cool" cold during the press meet.

Why can't people accept defeat. Team India is no supernatural to win all games they play. The former "so called" cricketing giants like Javagal Srinath criticised Dhoni's tactics while chasing. He dont know what the hell is T20 cricket and speaks asif he has achived something significant in T20. If Dhoni's startegy such as sending in Jadeja at number 4 had worked, then all the critics would have appreciated it. Cricket is just another profession. Failures are always likely. Pointing out Dhoni alone is not the correct thing. With media hyping up this issue, Dhoni has even apologised for the fans' disappointment. He should nt have apologised. Experimenting in cricket should definitely be done. I am not supporting Dhoni but would have supported anyone in his place. He has been a better captain achiveing some unimaginable feats. Every cricket fan should give him time to rethink and regroup.

Hence, captaining this Indian cricket team has its own cons and so I feel it is one of the toughest jobs in India.

Conquered Clay .. at last !!!!!

It was a sunday evening and it does not get better than watching a grand slam final. At one end, the expected Fedex and in the other end the unexpected Soderling. Though I did not see the full match, I jus got to see glimpse of it. Roger thrashed apart his opponent in straight sets and a French Open final could not end in this way.
It should have been Rafa on the other end.
It should have been a five setter.
It should have been tie breakers through out.
It should have ended with 13-11 in the fifth set. Never matter who wins.. Expecting a final of this sort is obvious.

But its all over. Fedex have done it. 14 GS to his name and still going great guns. He has proved that he s the master of the trade anywhere. But never forget Rafa. He will be back hard for Wimbledon. Lets hope to see an intense battle between these two in Wimbledon final.
