Will cricket become hockey?

What I am going to write here might just be a consequence of a feeling of utter wastage of time, money and mockery of the attachment shown towards the Indian cricket team. Its a feeling which wont go away without venting. There will be a zillion bloggers/news channels and natthus who would analyze the match, split its guts apart and take different sides but I just have one piece of advise.

Greg Chappel, with immediate effect, keep security guards.
Dhoni and others from UP and Bihar should apply for home loans already.
Most blatant, Sachin should consider retirement as an option

Well I know PJ would have happily surrendered to beating of Suppi and Anshul had India won but I am sure he is much worse with this.

For the optimists who are thinking there is a chance that Bermuda beats Bangladesh, its near impossible unless our Indian players apply immigration to Bermuda and play from there side against Bangladesh. Still not an easy task as history has told us.

** Update
What would have happened if Bermuda was not there in our group and we had some other moderate team?

While checking the stats, some interesting things for the world cup 2007 stats till now:

Top 5 scorers till now.
Sehwaag and Ganguly figure out at number 4 and 5.

Most Ducks
Dhoni comes a dashing 2nd with many Indian names and obviously Sachin in it.

Top scores
India tops the list of all times in world cup here and that's what makes me think, what if Bermuda was not there to play with us.

True.
Well, it seems some "harsh" changes coming up soon. Hope it is takes the team and the game towards the better. Considering the level right now it definitely will be so.
