Bash India

leave a comment »

All this years since Jaggu revolutionized cricket finances the world (read western) dreaded India as evil force and BCCI as masked daemon.
In short “Gangotri” of all evils.
When ICL came and IPL took T20 revolution a step further, the same forces got more vociferous in Indian bashing.
Now that India has won T20 World Cup, been # 1 in ODIs for a while and now are number 1 in Tests, the same forces crib on high runathons, results oriented picthes (2 of 3 Tests in India this year yielded results) and freelancings inspired from cash rich T20 leagues.
Who is the freelancer ? Any Indian ? Nope, the English man. The very English who have been the custodians of the game all this years.
Who is the highest paid cricketer in IPL ? Ten ? Viru  ? MS ? Nope. The same freelancer and his friend whose alter ego costed him the captaincy of the national side and IPL team almost out of the tourney before a desi took over and almost won the IPL.
Any Indian who defected to ICL from international cricket ? Nobody.
Any Indian who cries foul on UDRS ?
Any Indian who pointed fingers to the umps to raise the fingers to win 17th test in row thus killing the spirits of the game ? Nobody.
And yet anything Indian is filth.
PS : Inspired from SP’s post “Growing racism”. Just could not hold back.
