INDIA OUT OF T20 WORLD CUP 2012

INDIA LOST ONLY 1 MATCH IN THE WORLD CUP BUT STILL THEY COULD NOT QUALIFY FOR SEMI FINALS !!!

India could not qualify for Semifinals in spite of winning 2 matches out of 3 in the Super Eights.

Who Kicked them out of the tournament ?

Australia or South Africa or Pakistan ?

I would say they kicked themselves out of the World Cup.

Group Stage:


India Vs Afganistan
Result: India won but struggled in front of Afganistan

India Vs England
Result: India won. Normal batting and Good bowling


Super Eights:

India Vs Australia
Result: India Lost. Poor batting, Poor bowling, Poor Fielding

India Vs Pakistan
Result: India Won. Good Bowling and Good Batting

India Vs South Africa
Result: India Won but huge struggle. Needed to stop SA to less than 121 but they scored 151 runs.



AUSTRALIA AND PAKISTAN HAD BETTER NET RUN RATE THAN INDIA WHICH DIS-QUALIFIED INDIA FROM SEMI FINALS.

I think it was the over confidence which led them to this disaster.
Sehwag was dropped for 2 matches, Zaheer Khan was dropped for 1 match.
Why Ajinkya Rahane and Manoj Tiwari were sitting on the bench even after Sehwag, Gambhir, Raina, Rohit Sharma and Dhoni dint perform well in more than 2 occasions.
India played 2 matches with 6 specialist bowlers. It worked well against England but where were those specialists against Australia. Harbhajan Singh took MOM against England but why he failed against Australia?
Part time bowlers were bowling ahead of the front liners. Yuvraj Singh, Virat Kohli & Rohit Sharma are better bowlers than R. Ashwin if we consider the order in which they bowled.
Where is UMESH YADAV ??? WHY IS HE DROPPED ???
Mr. Dhoni is very smart he will come up with a qnique explaination for all this, but truth is different.
Suresh Raina is not even dropped once in spite of performing bad.
Dhoni dropped even the great Sachin in England but did not touch his favorite players.

However, for BCCI this T20 World cup is not of any kind of importance.
IPL is Super hit.
India won a series against New Zealand in India.
Why should they worry at all ?

But, BCCI, Dhoni and selectors should think about the millions of Indians who are crazy behind Indian Cricket.
Politics in Selection gives us a team with ordinary players.
Politics in Captaincy gives us de-motivated players on the ground which leads to bad performance.

Time to rethink and millions of Indians are waiting for BCCI and Dhoni to take corrective action and give importance to cricketers on merits.

WHAT IS A RELATIONSHIP ???

TRUST 

TRUST is a very important factor for all relationships. When trust is broken, it is the end of the relationship. Lack of trust leads to   suspicion, suspicion generates anger, anger causes enmity and enmity   may result in separation.

A telephone operator told me that one day she received a phone call. She answered, "Public Utilities Board." There was silence. She  repeated, "PUB." There was still no answer. When she was going to cut off the line, she Heard a lady's voice, "Oh, so this is PUB. Sorry, I got the number from my Husband's pocket but I do not know whose number it is."

Without mutual trust, just imagine what will happen to the couple if  the telephone operator answered with just "hello" instead of "PUB".

NO POINTING FINGERS

A man asked his father-in-law, "Many people praised you for a successful marriage. Could you please share with me your secret?"
The father-in-law answered in a smile, "Never criticize your wife for her shortcomings or when she does something wrong. Always bear in mind that because of her shortcomings and weaknesses, she could not find a better husband than
you."

We all look forward to being loved and respected. Many people are afraid of losing face. Generally, when a person makes a mistake, he would look around to find a scapegoat to point the finger at. This is the start of a war. We should always remember that when we point one finger at a person, the other four fingers are pointing at ourselves.

If we forgive the others, others will ignore our mistake too.

CREATING PERFECT RELATIONSHIPS?

A person visited the government matchmaker for marriage, SDU, and requested "I am looking for a spouse. Please help me to find a suitable one." The SDU officer said, "Your requirements, please." "Oh, good looking, polite, humorous , sporty, knowledgeable, good in singing and dancing. Willing to accompany me the whole day at home during my
leisure hour, if I don't go out. Telling me interesting stories when I need companion for conversation and be silent when I want to rest." The officer listened carefully and replied, "I understand you need television."

There is a saying that a perfect match can only be found between a blind wife and a deaf husband ,because the blind wife cannot see the faults of the husband and the deaf husband cannot hear the nagging of the wife. Many couples are blind and deaf at the courting stage and dream of perpetual perfect relationship. Unfortunately, when the excitement of love wears off, they wake up and discover that marriage is not a bed of roses. The nightmare begins. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NO OVERPOWERING

Many relationships fail because one party tries to overpower another,or demands too much. People in love tend to think that love will conquer all and their spouses will change the bad habits after marriage. Actually, this is not the case. There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "It is easier to reshape a mountain or a river than a person's character."

It is not easy to change. Thus, having high expectation on changing the spouse character will cause disappointment and unpleasantness.

It would be less painful to change ourselves and lower our expectations.. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RIGHT SPEECH

There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "A speech will either prosper or ruin a nation." Many relationships break off because of wrong speech. When a couple is too close with each other,we always forget mutual respect and courtesy. We may say anything without considering if it would hurt the other party.

A friend and her millionaire husband visited their construction site. A worker who wore a helmet saw her and shouted,"Hi, Emily! Remember me? We used to date in the secondary school." On the way home, her millionaire husband teased her, "Luckily you married me.Otherwise you will be the wife of a construction worker." She answered ,"You should appreciate that you married me. Otherwise, he will be the millionaire and not you."

Frequently exchanging these remarks plants the seed for a bad relationship. It's like a broken egg - cannot be reversed. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PERSONAL PERCEPTION

Different people have different perception. One man's meat could be another man's poison. A couple bought a donkey from the market. On the way home,a boy commented, "Very stupid. Why neither of them ride on the donkey?"Upon hearing that, the husband let the wife ride on the donkey. He walked besides them. Later, an old man saw it and commented, "The husband is the head of family. How can the wife ride on the donkey while the husband is on foot?" Hearing this, the wife quickly got down and let the husband ride on the donkey.

Further on the way home, they met an old Lady. She commented, "How can the man ride on the donkey but let the wife walk. He is no gentleman."
The husband thus quickly asked the wife to join him on the donkey. Then, they met a young man. He commented, "Poor donkey, how can you hold up the weight of two persons. They are cruel to you." Hearing that, the husband and wife immediately climbed down from the donkey and carried it on their shoulders.

It seems to be the only choice left. Later, on a na rrow bridge, the donkey was frightened and struggled. They lost their balance and fell into the river. You can never have everyone praise you, nor will everyone condemn you. Never in the past, not at present, and never will be in the future.

Thus, do not be too bothered by others words if our conscience is clear.

BE PATIENT

This is a true story which happened in the States. A man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint of the truck. The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's hands into pulp as punishment. When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital.

Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to amputate the fingers from both the boy's hands. When the boy woke up from the surgery & saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, " Daddy,I'm sorry about your truck." Then he asked, "but when are my fingers going to grow back?" The father went home & committed
suicide.

Think about this story the next time someone steps on your feet or u wish to take revenge. Think first before u lose your patience with someone u love. Trucks can be repaired.. Broken bones & hurt feelings often can't. Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge.

People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever.
