Dear Sachin,
Yes Sir, we are the devils in garb of the devotees. Our so called elation on a wonderours batting displays that span two decades suddenly turns into one 'huge dissapointment' because India loses one match closely. Afterall what are 45 hundreds, 91 fifties and over 17,000 runs worth if you cannot single handedly take responsibility of a 'horrific' defeat against the side which is the best in the world. In 140 balls you face, there is not one delivery on which you play a wrong shot - not a catch offered and dropped, not a rap on the pad, not even an appeal... ever, yet how dare you attempt a shot over fine leg when fine leg is in the circle... and that too in a batting powerplay? Your audacity is inexplicable. We would have of course praised your abilities if it had come off, as it did a few overs ago, but it didn't this time and you turn from a hero to one person who cost us the match. You 'prone to ill-judgement and wrong doings' son of a bitch!!!
No Sir, we won't even mention the kind of balling and fielding which gave away those 350 runs in the first place... not even a word. The Dhonis, the Yuvraajs, the Gautis and the Sehwags are not to be blamed, because they dutifully departed without giving a semblance of a fight. Jadeja & Praveen (God bless them), did such a wonderful job of getting themselves run out on non-existent runs, chasing eighteen of eighteen balls. And You? Shame on you. Why did you bring us so close? Don't you realise that we would have loved you more if you had gone back in 25th over with 80-90 runs in your account? How on earth did you imagine that we will love you for bringing us so close against a record chase in India against the Aussies? We were thinking that if you make 150 we will magically win... but you gave us 175 and lost the match for us... disgusting!!!
Look Sachin, make no mistake, we are your 'greatest fans', but that doesn't mean that we will give you a benefit of doubt. You can take your 'marvelous innings of 175 runs' and shove it up your back-side. All we want is a fairly tale ending - each and every time - got it? And if you don't provide that, then everything your captain says about everybody else in the team but you, we will assume that he said that about you. And, please don't ever come in way of our conviction to ridicule you everytime you fall short of turning into God. We are the country where as it is, there only so much to celebrate, we demand nothing but victory in game of cricket while we lose everywhere else every day - this is afterall our national pride.
Don't get us wrong Sachin, but you are good for nothing record holder of records. So you better pack your bags and go settle in Sydney or London, for we can't possibly give you the respect that you think you deserve. We are afterall, the winning types and we can't stand a loser like you in our midst.
What the f***k!!!
