No country for cricket: Umang Kumar

March 11, 2014 19:38

I have to confess that there are many times that I too have wanted to stop supporting the Indian cricket team and root for some other team. And this is not just with the current lineup and their losses in South Africa and New Zealand.

Why, even when Gundappa Viswanath failed in inning after inning, when, in the pre-Kapil days, Indian pacers ("fast medium') like Karsan Ghavri and Mohinder Amarnath huffed and puffed, there were times I just wanted to say good riddance.

Thank you India, I think I'll switch allegiance '" I'll go support Clive Lloyds' West Indies or Asif Iqbal's Pakistan. Much better teams, so much more exciting to watch!
