Champions Trophy - India-West Indies
What a farce that match appeared. It seemed both teams were trying hard to lose. I can't believe that the weather conditions were so bad that it was either difficult to score runs or for the bowlers to bowl to a line. Before the start of the match, I had remarked that Agarkar would be the man of the match for the West Indies and quite true it turned out to be. Wonder why he is in the team, after all these years. But, the guy who deserves the biggest kick is Rahul Dravid. Still can't get over how he got himself run out. Must have got out in a similar fashion more than half a dozen times. One learns from one's mistakes. Not so in his case, it would appear. A captain should lead by example and his carelessness only transmits itself to others. Remember some time in the 1980s, Kapil Dev was dropped from the team because he got out trying to cut an off-spinner in a test match between India and England at Delhi. India lost the match and the captain was Sunil Gavaskar. At that time, Kapil's carelessness/recklessness was cited as the reason for him being dropped. Will the same logic apply to Rahul Dravid?
Let me add. I am not bothered by the result. In fact, I wanted the West Indies to win. This Indian team does not deserve to win.
