Being Consistent



Lord’s. A special turf for every cricketer. On this ground, it’s not just victory but about HISTORY. Well, records are meant to be broken & history gets recreated. For this, most important is Preparation.

Some good cricket had been played over past few days and with some men taking charge from forefront. Yet the control was & is with England, because they were looking well prepared. Consistency, systematic approach and a back-up plan were visible on the field, thus performance.

As far as Team India is concerned, is there lack of motivation or individual performance surpassing team work? Or brand of the Ball making all the difference, I doubt!! Probably, the way product life cycle behaves, downswing has come!! Means innovative approach required as past glory is already history. Whatever it may “actually” be, it needs to be tackled, urgently. 

Not long ago, when Kumble, Ganguly retired, with cricket still left in them irrespective of “hyped” age factor. Assumptions on Dravid, VVS & Sachin also came into picture due to similar age group. Consider this had Dravid would not have been on this tour, even the Lord’s would have also been one sided affair.

We must appreciate; at least there is consistency in both the teams & in both the matches.

PS: Tendulkar junior seen @ Lord’s with Team India and has been covered exclusively in picture gallery on yahoo, for what? Is there picnic happening?
With the outcome in both the matches, well it appears to be, a nice paid holiday!!! Enjoy

Indian Sports – All Undies Down

Sports have been making real great news since past one year. Be it Commonwealth games or Cricket or any other thru their respective sports associations. CWG once again hogged the limelight with all its justified massively escalated expenditures, featuring exceptionally talented personalities who have extensive experience in playing the game. Yoga and walking is also considered sports by few!! Well it’s about playing game to ones advantage and to win, for country/state/club or self. Facts show that priority is in reverse order, that perhaps stops at first point itself. Let’s analyze cwg & cricket recently unearthed equations in positivity. Games of high magnitude were hosted after 2.8 decades and one cannot predict when would be the next honour to host international multi-game event. So, by living in the moment, chance pe dance maar le. For personal luxuries India has supply of public money in abundance. While in cricket even if thoughts are fabricated thru commentators it’s ...

Power> Politics>Cricket

Sports have been the buzz since past few months. Be it glory, game or shame (scams)! Cricket has been the favorite even after Delhi somehow manage to host XIX Commonwealth Games last year, which perhaps would not happen in next few decades.  There was a point when cricket (on & off the field) was taken forward by the champions & visionaries, as they saw potential of the game getting bigger with time and its commercial success attracted many more in the backdrop of the game to enjoy the benefits with hardly any contribution. Change being constant phenomena, IPL did a massive turnaround in commercial terms and getting glamour quotient to the forefront. Which created desires to enjoy the power of position, visibility thru the game and receive associated numerous tangible/non-tangible benefits. This leads to the thought sports & sportsman being secondary. Basically, piggyback Cricket to have time of your life. Ride on someone else’s success with next to nil contributio...

Legendary Actor Sushant Singh Rajput : A Tribute

Legendary journey of actor Sushant Singh Rajput has been cut short, but has set an example and inspired many to be vocal about awful culture prevailing in the film industry. Yet his untimely demise crafted by few shameless and morally corrupt deemed owners of film industry failed to control outburst from professionals across industries, sectors and age groups. The mental agony Sushant suffered is experienced by most of the professionals who are talented, honest, believe in growing on merit, high on integrity, work professionally, refuse to compromise, ready to compete, take on challenges and speak the truth. While on the other hand, brigade of privilege mediocre individuals thrive due to invisible – yet predictable - hand of top management or are related to some influential parent/bureaucrat/family.   Having gone through similar experience while playing professional cricket (selectors, office bearers etc), working in industry association and during specialized projects...
