I
am crazy about cricket just like any other cricket follower. In India
Cricket is more than a sport and Sachin, another name of God.
Is
Cricket just a mode of entertainment ???
So
you don't agree with me !! . Hmmmm.....Again I have to apply my writing skills
to convince you . But before I start my article I want to make 2
things clear :-
(1)
This is totally my Idea (Jo mere Shaitani Dimaag ki Upaj Hai) and
(2)
I equally respect each and every game and one can learnt from any sports.... Ok
then Get Set and GO
CRICKET -
THINGS YOU CAN LEARN FROM THIS GAME
(1)
COMMITMENT
Anil
Kumble with a broken jaw and gets Brian Lara lbw -India vs WI 4th test Antigua
2002
This
shows your Commitment towards your Profession. Choose
the Career of your choice and then give your 100% to it and you will get
unbelievable results.
The
sight of Anil Kumble emerging from the pavilion, ready to bowl, his face
bandaged, in the Antigua Test of 2002, is one of cricket's most inspiring.
He
bowled 14 consecutive overs and finally dismissed Brian Lara while
bowling with a broken jaw. He was due to fly back to Bangalore the following
day for surgery, and as he said, "At least I can now go home with the
thought that I tried my best.
"It
was one of the bravest things I've seen on the field of play," said Sir
Vivian Richards later.
Batting
at No. 7 (Ajay Ratra at No. 8 made a century; Kumble was hit by Mervyn
Dillon. He spat out blood but batted on for another 20 minutes.
(2) CONCENTRATION,
TEMPERAMENT AND MOTIVATION
Sachin
Tendulkar's 140 not out in the match against Kenya said a lot about the
temperament that the little champion possesses. India was under pressure
to win the match to stay in contention as they had lost their previous two
games to South Africa and Zimbabwe. Sachin had not taken part in the match
against Zimbabwe as he had to return to India because of the rather unfortunate
death of his father. However, he made it a point to return to England for the
World Cup. His hundred against Kenya is still talked about as one of the great
knocks of all time simply because of all the pressures (most of them
non-cricketing) he was facing.
This
shows that the biggest Motivator in this world is you. If you want to do
something then do it for yourself.

LEADERSHIP - LEADING BY EXAMPLE
GREAME
SMITH BATTING WITH BROKEN HAND - AUS V/s SA, 3rd test 5th Day, Sydney,
7th Jan.2009
S.A.
was struggling to save test match against Aussies, and with 9 wickets
down and there was no way that the South African captain Graeme Smith
could come to bat in the last wicket, “Smith walked out at No. 11, looking to
survive 8.2 overs with a broken hand, his own blood recently injected into his
right elbow, and a desperate Australian attack”
It
was a special moment in World Cricket to watch Smith come out from that
dressing room to bat in No. 11 with his broken hand and all the Australian
crowd giving Graeme a standing ovation was really inspiring.
There
is a saying that a Leader s'd lead from the front by setting an example for
others and that's what we learn from this instance.

NEVER SAY DIE ATTITUDE
MOHD.
KAIF AND YUVRAJ PARTNERSHIP AT LORDS, NATWEST SERIES FINAL, IND V/s ENG, 14TH
JULY 2002
Chasing
as mammoth a target of 325, India was struggling at 5-146 with all big guns
back to the pavilion. Two Youngsters Kaif and Yuvraj were on the crease,
but no one was expecting miracles from them.
However,
Yuvraj and Kaif had different designs altogether. They played brilliantly,
forged a fantastic partnership at the crucial stage and saw India romp home.
Y.Singh scored 69 and M.Kaif 87 notout to bring one of the finest wins in
the history of one-day cricket.
This
shows that when no one believes you than it's good that you have no pressure to
preform and then you will give your best shot.

NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE AS IMPOSSIBLE ITSELF SAYS I AM POSSIBLE
VVS
LAXMAN 73* V/s AUSSIES WHILE BATTING WITH A RUNNER TO GUIDE INDIA TO THRILLING
ONE WICKET WIN, India
405 & 216-9, Australia 428 & 192., IND V/S AUS 1ST TEST, MOHALI,
OCT.2010
CHASING
A TARGET OF 216, INDIA WAS STRUGGLING AT 124-8. FROM THERE VVS
LAXMAN striving with his back injury, batted with a runner and proved his
talents once again by scoring the winning run for India.
This
shows that anything is possible, but you have to believe yourself and have
confidence in your ability.
So
har khel kuch sikhaata hai...Khelo India Khelo !!
