Cricket, lies and hispocrisy

Have you realized how cricket columnists can be such damn hipocrits. Take Goeffry Boycott for an example. When India lost in NatWest he said "Even my mother can bowl India out." "Sehwag isn't fit to be in International Cricket!" When India later won the next match "Indian team were close to perfection!" When Sehwag hit those strokes against South Africa "Bravo! Hes definetly Bradman!" Wow, he certainly sticks to his principles!
Lets take Amril Mathur as another example. His very contoversial piece. Hardly 4 months. he called for the dismissal of Sachin, Saurav, Sehwag and Dravid. Whoa! Now quoting his article. "Sehwag is Indian Bradman. Irreplacable." "There is not a doubt in my mind that Sachin is one of the greatest cricketers surviving." "Dravid the wall!" He sure has a short term memory.
Why am i blaming these poor fools. They are all just writing for their living. But what about us? Don't the public have a short term memory. I was seeing a match between India and Sri Lanka. This year only in which Ganguly made 75 and saved India. How many of us remember that. all we can talk about is throwing him out. We are so fiery tempered. We think we know all about cricket. We don't. A lot of luck is involved in this game. And why does Ganguly have to be a bad batsmen. Can't the bowler be brilliant? Sure we are loosing a tad too many games. But guys relax. Its a game. And we are becoming to emotionally attached to it. Tommorow we might just win. Who knows?
