Its been a week since our World Cup dream plummeted and we were knocked out in semi finals. We Indians always have a tendency to expect more and more...7 wins on the trot against quality opposition like South Africa, Pakistan and West Indies which came on the back of a disastrous Test Series and an equally disappointing Tri Series. When the players were down in the dumps, did anyone from the so called billion strong cricket crazy fans even think about rallying behind the team? No...we thrust upon them our expectations that " We wont give it back". 4 months away from family, a captain yet to see and feel his new born kid, niggles, injuries, rumours of rifts in the team, publicity crazy media focussing more on affairs and instigated behaviour....Well it needs a lionhearted person like Dhoni to forget all and wake up every new day to fulfil expectations which we can casually tag as "We wont give it back" ....Congratulations to this contingent representing India and more so to Ravi Shastri and MSD for winning hearts all over the world and upholding the spirit of the game. World Cups are for competing and giving it everything. If you win the Cup, all glory is showered upon you and if you don't, your guts are never even mentioned. A salute from a common Indian like me for the Guts and Glory which heralds Team India....I still bleed blue and will do so till the day I bleed..........
