These were the flashes, alerts and initial headlines on television as India lost to its second neighbour in a week, after Bangladesh, and the defeat to Sri Lanka took them out of the World Cup 2007.
I wonder what will be the headlines in the morning. Fans are angry, companies are upset for putting so much money, the spirits of the nation are low. First media generates hype an then demolishes the Heroes.
One guy says that Indian cricketers should be booked under IPC for hurting sentiments under sections 153 or 295 of IPC. Police case! Cricket is a religion in India, surely. Fans are truly feeling cheated, frustrated and blaming cricketers for earning millions but not delivering on field.
Another friend of mine, a fan of Tendulkar, was in tears and demands his retirement. Meanwhile, late night TV channels took reaction of people on street. One guy wished something really bad for Chappell. It was disgusting to hear. Star TV later apologised but its their fault by showing faces of Indian cricketers with the script 'Bharatiya Cricket ke Sharamnak Chehre'.
Hopefully, good sense will prevail and fans are not going on destruction spree, self-immolation bids or attacks on players and their houses. Let the media also learn from its mistake of creating such massive hype. Peace!
