India and Sourav

O India! Wake up. Sourav is there and here to stay. U tried to oust him with the help of an Aussie Kangaroo. How mean? See Kolkattans fight for him burning effigies and giving their soul for a just cause. Well Bengal thinks today what India thinks tomorrow, n after all Sourav must play. What if he hasn't scored runs for last few years, he has his backers n that is what matters even if Chappell says to selector,"Don't kid he is a test match bowler."
But I do remember the day when I woke up at 4 in the morning, rubbing my eyes to see clearly India setting off their tour Down Under. India reeling with 3 wickets down, in came Sourav, and lit up the Brisbane ground with majestic strokeplay paving the way for a magnificient display by the team there after. Oh that was great, but a long time back. Now everyone including I swirm in my seats seeing him fending off the rising balls with uncertain ease. See the vagaries of life.
But the undeniable truth is, it catches up with everyone, I , you or Sourav. The wayout is tough , varying from one individual to another. But the hypostatsis of the matter is working towards the goal which probably every sane mind knows where it is and how to attain it. Sourav u have to bat for India whether in the garb of captain or not. Chappell u have to guide him, putting aside his lethargy and bring forth his regal
touch. Selectors u have to pick the right team based on conscience and not on phone calls. n what about we, the lordly viewers. Oh we r the critics, n can burn tyres in protest, leave alone other things, in protest unmindful of its usefulness. We do rule. But for a change dear, let India play. Let India play sans those bickerings and parochialness. Let sanity return to one and all for a better morrow.
