Gentleman's game?

It is human to fend away the blame that falls on us. But it takes a gentleman to accept one’s fault. Cricket is believed to be the gentleman’s game. Indian cricket is at the cross-roads of making an important decision towards achieving greater success in the game or fall further from this abyss, it is already in.
The animosity existing between the various sects of the Indian cricket body has resulted in each one pitting the fault against the other. It has been fashionable to put the fault on someone to save one’s own back. This is not time for that. It is time when the so called contributors to Indian cricket act mature by having an honest appraisal of them and coming out with their mistakes. Pointing fingers at each other will only make the media happy, who are waiting like vultures to witness a chaos in the cricketing body and in turn capitalize on that for their revenues. It seems at least someone (the media) is playing his natural game.
There is ubiquitous disappointment in a cricket frenzied nation, which is natural. But a sport is a sport, it is not war. Let us only give what it deserves. Indian cricket fans (true ones) will only hope that these trying times after the World Cup will end with good results for the team.
