Life always comes a full circle....
A short post in a jiffy....
From South Africa to England.....
From Johannesburg
To Lord's...
Mahendra Singh Dhoni's life has come a full circle in a short span of 2 years. Whatever goes up has to come down, and that's what is one of life's bitter realities.And after you fall down, the only way is to go upwards!!!
In this span of 2 years we have seen MSD taking Indian cricket to near champion levels, raising the bar of expectations.
So there's no point at all....For the media to make a scapegoat out of him !!
The Media is partly responsible for this backlash and not only MS Dhoni.He publicly came out and apologized to fans for the T20 WC loss...
Now then..which media person has ever come out and tendered an apology for any mistake he/she did ?? And its almost close to impossible that anyone will ever do!!!
So there's no point pondering over whatever media says, rather creates, about Indian cricket.
The only thing they must be trusted for is the statistical news that they provide.
By the way..another champion sportsperson's life too has come a full circle...and more ironically at the same place where he began his rise..Eagerly waiting to see if he can overcome the setback....
"The Championships" kicks off next Monday at Wimbledon - 22 June 2009.
People all around the world would hope for this encore......
However, if at all Nadal crashes out in the quarter finals or earlier and Federer goes on to lift the trophy for the 6th time,it would also topple Nadal from the World No.1 spot.And its not even been one year since he was crowned the No.1.
So fingers crossed.....!!! Hoping for a Federer win though :)
For two reasons:
- I have kept my blog on Roger pending since the Roland Garros triumph
- I will settle my scores with 2 of my friends if Federer re-gains the World no.1 ranking

First of all, how come you posted at this unearthly hour of 5 in the morning? ;-) If your counter question is how come you commented at this unearthly hour of 7.30. My answer this is the time to surf before I go out.
Coming to the point, Dhoni has only shown that he is also a human being. The way he has reacted or the dissapointing performance, he is not entirely to be blamed. Though he has accepted full responsibility for it.
Now it is easier to realise how tough the job of being an "Indian Captain" is. We should also note that all the matches lost were with very close margin. Such is the nature of the brand new form of cricket. And I feel this form should never decide the world champions.
somehow.. if/when Federer wins without defeating Nadal.. the win though thoroughly deserved lacks charm :(
