India - World Champs

So India's finally won something the 20 - 20 championship, and how we are going to town preaching about it! Well, am not a cynic but i would like to add here India's newest captain Dhoni's words in an interview, "Don't get carried away by success!"
Ever since India's won the 20-20 world cup everyone's comfortably forgotten the humiliation the cricket team caused us in the 2007 World Cup. Neither avid cricket watchers nor cricket critics seem to remember the pain and agony that India as a nation suffered when we were literally bashed up by Sri Lanka and thrown out of the world cup.
Maybe we want to look at the positive side and rejoice in the victory. Yes, we should celebrate and enjoy this win but we shouldn't let it go to our head. We must remember that these cricketers at the end are just another bunch of 20 year old's who need to be channelised or else it wouldnt take much for the success to go to their heads.
I wish the cricket crazy nation realises this and keeps a tight leash on them rather than going ga ga over it!
