Watching Cricket from the stands

Tweet

There is much difference when you watch cricket from the stands and the one in your home T.V. I and my brother-in-law had been to watch cricket match between CSK and RCB. We went to see the fireworks of Vidyut Sivaramakrishnan. As you had it almost the whole of the people in the stands had come to see the fireworks of Vidyut. When Patel and Fleming were batting we all wanted someone of them to get out and Vidyut to come in. So confident were we that Vidyut one handed can finish the match. When we saw this Dhoni entering one down we started booing him down. His defensive batting was boo.. booed by us. What sort of Captain he is.. he has not understanding the feelings of the spectators. We have come all along wasting our time and money just to watch our favourites not the out-of-form Dhoni there in the middle. But to our utter-shock this Dhoni enters and then the hara-kiri follows. Everybody in the stands knew immediately that Vidyut may be very much upset by not being sent one down. And as expected he came as a tailender and was out for a duck. It was frustration of coming as a tailender that he threw his wicket, we can know this from the stands. We did not have chappals to throw on Dhoni if he had we would thrown it on him. The worst captain we came across on that day. Our day was wasted with our favourite stars not allowed to do their job. As in ICL matches someone like Satish should lead Chennai team in the future of IPL tournaments and not the one like Dhoni, who is selfish and without head. He is the sole cause for the defeat of Chennai team against Bangalore team the neighbouring state. Kudos to Dravid for his fine batting and score of 47 out of 39 balls. We were all very much impressed by the sportsmenship that Goswamy exhibited when he went out after knicking a Gony delivery. How many nowadays are we seeing walking away if not given out. Here is a young cricketer who has shown that he likes to play truthfully and make runs and not with luck from umpires wrong decisions. If Goswami had not walked off the field he might have contributed more runs and maybe RCB would have made 150 runs on the board. Then probably CSK would have won the match playing more seriously and Vidyut coming one down or even opening the innings. Truth wins eh..
