Will ‘Men in Blue’ keep the blues at bay?                                                        │ Shivika Choudhary, IV yr

Maureen Killoran remarks, "Stress is not what happens to us. It's our response to what happens. And RESPONSE is something we
can choose." The cricket fever has reached its all time high with the ICC World Cup 2011 being hosted by the Indian sub-continent,
that is, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. This extremely contagious fever and gripping fervour has undoubtedly created havoc on
the minds of cricket fans as well as the men in blue. What remains to be tested is how team India reacts to this frenzy. This World
Cup has already witnessed the biggest upset of the splendid England team being defeated by Ireland. Stress makes men, animals and
plants react differently and at times detrimental to their growth. The workers of certain ant species quickly shift to less desirable
food when put under pressure due to invading colonies or environmental stress. Wolves often react by digging into hillsides or under
large tree trunks or boulders to hide from the threat or purge their stomach to make their bodies lighter for flight. However, survival
instincts aren’t always submissive but dominating and endearing mostly. As an ecological entity, the ant colony is referred as the
‘super-organism’ as it exhibits impressive adaptive life history traits under selective pressure. Under threat wolves display
aggressive behaviour and often become violent to protect themselves. In fact, the evolution of man from apes has been a ‘response’
to the environmental and genetic stress. So, stress is not always devastating but plays a constructive role in bringing out the best in
us. At the end, it’s mostly mind versus matter.
Cricket is such a dynamic sport where predictions fail easily. Previous edition of the world cup where India was shocked in the very
first round by the minnows Bangladeshi's and Pakistanis were sent packing by the underrated Ireland team are daring examples.
Hence, despite of all the predictions one can make, it need not be correct. However, the present mindset of the Indian team is very
promising and stable. Sticking to his mantra that ‘"processes" would take precedence over results’, MS Dhoni, the India captain,
expresses "What we have done in the last three years is that we have changed the meaning of pressure to responsibility and we take
it as an added responsibility". The Team Blue consists of the little master Sachin Tendulkar opening the innings, the demolition man
Virender Sehwag, Mr. consistent Gautam Gambhir, Vicious Virat kohli, the fire cracker triology of Yuvraj, Raina and Yusuf Pathan,
miserly trio of Zaheer, Ashish Nehra and Munaf Patel, the shocking spinners Harbhajan, Ashwin and Piyush and the serene captain
MS Dhoni. It needs to be seen whether playing at home will prove to be additional pressure on the Indian team because in history, so
far no team has won this elite trophy on home soil. However the Indian Team has been fire on the field since the first match to the
quarters against Australia. They have proved their mettle. 30 March 2011, Mohali would witness the historic India-Pakistan semi
final.
It is strongest belief that this team is capable of ending the long wait of millions of cricket fans across the country of grabbing the
World Cup trophy. The ‘men in blue’ have 99% chances of winning this trophy unless something happens out of the blue. As
ancient Roman poet, Horace quotes, ‘In times of stress, be bold and valiant’, I am certain that Team India will bring accomplish this
Herculean task and bring the trophy home. Good Luck India!

We can take the example of World Cup, 2003 when after a humiliating defeat against Australia, the fans of team India got angry. It created a lot of pressure on the team. This inspired the team and it reached the finals. Nevertheless, sometimes the excess of pressure may create negative aspect as well but it is not expected from international players who are very professional as well.

  • 7. On the Campus| w e ∙ u s ∙ o u r s e l v e s Cricket-Tamasha or Sophisticated Art Why We Can’t Win The World Cup │Abhishek V yr │Chitresh V yr Cricket in India and Cricket in Australia are two different sides We Indians follow cricket as a religion and cricketers as God. Whatever good is endorsed by the cricketers sees a great market of a coin. Here the Cricketers are not players but Gods of rise. But the same Gods turn into greatest criminals if they make cricket whereas in Australia cricketers are merely players and a mistake because of which a game is lost. Now as the world cup is in our country, it definitely gives a geographical benefit to the artists of cricket. If you need a proof just watch the reaction of players but it also leads to higher expectations. After the latest the crowd after a hit in Melbourne and reaction of the crowd defeat and other angles if I observe as a neutral spectator it is quite impossible for our team to win, this I am saying based on after a hit in India. But then this is in our nature. ‘What soccer few facts which I have observed. is to Brazil is exactly what cricket is to India’. It’s not just a 1. Team management. If we see our players and the game but a religion. But if we have such a sweet spot for management we find that it’s not working up to mark as they have made BCCI a corporate entity which cricket then why are we not the number one team and why we has only one motive and that's profit making. We won the have won only one world cup? Our players tend to lose their 1983 world cup because the players played for honour at that nerves in a match quite easily. Our team is centred on one or time and now even that zeal can’t be seen. 2. Pressure on the players. Because we as a nation treat two players; if they go then everyone goes, pretty much like cricket as a religion we expect a little too much from our Dominos, one falls and it takes the rest with it. Another thing players. Also our players are many times unable to handle which is lacking in our team is a decent pace bowler. We have the pressure and sometimes just lose their nerves.

Our team has been playing so many enough we might have a balanced side which will rise along matches without proper rest that it has led to exhaustion. the horizon and shine brightly. Will ‘Men in Blue’ keep the blues at bay? │ Shivika Choudhary, IV yr Maureen Killoran remarks, "Stress is not what happens to us. It's our response to what happens. And RESPONSE is something we can choose." The cricket fever has reached its all time high with the ICC World Cup 2011 being hosted by the Indian sub-continent, that is, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. This extremely contagious fever and gripping fervour has undoubtedly created havoc on the minds of cricket fans as well as the men in blue. What remains to be tested is how team India reacts to this frenzy. This World Cup has already witnessed the biggest upset of the splendid England team being defeated by Ireland. Stress makes men, animals and plants react differently and at times detrimental to their growth. The workers of certain ant species quickly shift to less desirable food when put under pressure due to invading colonies or environmental stress. Wolves often react by digging into hillsides or under large tree trunks or boulders to hide from the threat or purge their stomach to make their bodies lighter for flight. However, survival instincts aren’t always submissive but dominating and endearing mostly. As an ecological entity, the ant colony is referred as the ‘super-organism’ as it exhibits impressive adaptive life history traits under selective pressure. Under threat wolves display aggressive behaviour and often become violent to protect themselves. In fact, the evolution of man from apes has been a ‘response’ to the environmental and genetic stress. So, stress is not always devastating but plays a constructive role in bringing out the best in us. At the end, it’s mostly mind versus matter. Cricket is such a dynamic sport where predictions fail easily. Previous edition of the world cup where India was shocked in the very first round by the minnows Bangladeshi's and Pakistanis were sent packing by the underrated Ireland team are daring examples. Hence, despite of all the predictions one can make, it need not be correct. However, the present mindset of the Indian team is very promising and stable. Sticking to his mantra that ‘"processes" would take precedence over results’, MS Dhoni, the India captain, expresses "What we have done in the last three years is that we have changed the meaning of pressure to responsibility and we take it as an added responsibility". The Team Blue consists of the little master Sachin Tendulkar opening the innings, the demolition man Virender Sehwag, Mr. consistent Gautam Gambhir, Vicious Virat kohli, the fire cracker triology of Yuvraj, Raina and Yusuf Pathan, miserly trio of Zaheer, Ashish Nehra and Munaf Patel, the shocking spinners Harbhajan, Ashwin and Piyush and the serene captain MS Dhoni. It needs to be seen whether playing at home will prove to be additional pressure on the Indian team because in history, so far no team has won this elite trophy on home soil. However the Indian Team has been fire on the field since the first match to the quarters against Australia. They have proved their mettle. 30 March 2011, Mohali would witness the historic India-Pakistan semi final. It is strongest belief that this team is capable of ending the long wait of millions of cricket fans across the country of grabbing the World Cup trophy. The ‘men in blue’ have 99% chances of winning this trophy unless something happens out of the blue. As ancient Roman poet, Horace quotes, ‘In times of stress, be bold and valiant’, I am certain that Team India will bring accomplish this Herculean task and bring the trophy home. Good Luck India!
