India’s ouster from the Twenty20 World Cup in England shows that 20 winks is all it takes for a defending champion to be validating return tickets. Since there is no place for logic, form, strategy, etc, in this version of the game, any post-mortem is not only illogical but pointless.
Nevertheless, all the world loves a champion and all the attention (and anger) will now be focussed on Mahendra Singh Dhoni whose face is used by advertising geniuses to sell bikes, cars, ceiling fans, chyawanprash, hair oil, phones, shoes, soft drinks, newspapers and nuclear plants built under the Indo-US deal. (OK, not the last one.)

Give the guy a break fellows.
He has put his soul behind this Indian team. There are off days, and it was just one of them.

What should be done about the mainstream (sensationalism whoring) Indian Media that it understands its responsibilities (and limits) and not heckle the team so bloody much that the whole focus moves away from the competition.
Just see how the English media treated its team during the competition (with kid gloves – in spite of losses to Netherlands) and how our horrible Indian Media that went after MS Dhoni – because he didn’t pander to their stupid demands and also looking for a controversy with regards to Sehwag when there wasn’t one.

How did you forget your six-hitting skills man? You established your place in the team as a hard-hitting wicket keeper. Don’t worry, you can make amends by winning the 2011 WC – the ULTIMATE! You can win that battle like Arjuna with Krishna (Sachin) riding your chariot!

Thank you Indian team. I am most happy that we lost. Just imagine, if we had won the trophy what would have happened on their return. Every player would have become a billionaire (if not already some of them are), another bout of modelling of every item available on the earth, in turn swollen heads, some more scandals of association with film actresses, etc. etc. etc. Really Thank God, we lost. Keep it up till the next One Day World Championship.

We must realise we won against all kinds of odds in 1983 and 2007 and hence a fluke which cannot be repeated ever! The next one will happen again sometime in 2030 whwn Sachin will lead India to victory!Thanks for losing Dhoni, otherwise National TV would have served stale nonstop breakfast-lunch- dinner on our win ad nauseum.

No short query but 16 naughty lines reassuring Dhoni that all the pretty girls will still love him and want him!
Come all ye fair young maidens and harken unto me,Never trust a cricketer, whoever he may be.
Randier than a sailor who’s been six months at sea, Never let a cricketer’s hand an inch above your knee.
First let’s take the paceman, pure speed from first to last, My darlings do be careful; his balls are hard and fast.
Then there’s the medium pacer, his balls swing either way, He’s really most persistent and can keep it up all day!
And watch for the off-spinner, girls, another awkward chap, If you leave him half an opening, he will slip one through the gap!
Then there’s the wily ‘slowy’, pure cunning is his strength; He’ll tempt you, then trap you, with his very subtle length.
So ladies, do be careful, your mothers would agree, Never trust a cricketer, whoever he may be.
And what about the opening bat, his struggles never cease! He has only one ambition, to spend all day at the crease.
The number three is a dasher, he seldom prods and pokes. When he goes into action, he has a fine array of strokes..
And do beware the slogger, not content with one or two; When he arrives at the crease then only six will do.
Then there’s the real stonewaller, girls, he knows what he’s about; And if you let him settle in, it’s hard to get him out!
We come now to the last man, I hope this will not shock, He doesn’t mind if he’s last man in, as long as he gets a knock.
So, darlings, do be careful, and be well warned by me: Never trust a cricketer, whoever he may be.
And watch the wicketkeeper girls, he’s full of flair and dash; And if you raise your heel, he’ll whip them off in a flash.
If you take the field with the captain, you had better know the score; Or he’ll have you in positions that you never knew before!
So, darlings, please remember and repeat it after me: NEVER TRUST A CRICKETER, WHOEVER HE MAY BE!!
