Re: Pakistan ain't so bad - or ain't alone in this
I don't have a problem with losing as long as our team shows some fight and goes down fighting. And while I do appreciate that on some days things can go horribly wrong for any team (cf. SA today) spineless and pathetic batting displays/surrenders are not very easy to digest.
This is more of a problem in the sub-continent because cricket is the only sport our nations excel in at the moment. In Australia (even though they have been ruling world cricket for almost a decade) cricketers are n't worshipped like they are in the sub-continent because they are good in so many other sports incl. rugby, soccer, hockey, golf, tennis, motor sport and ofcourse the olympics
