slapgate controversy

Guys this was inevitable.
it all started when the media started glorifying the ugly behavior onfield by some cricketers. it was termed as fire for fire or AGGRESSION.
aggression is not abusing others or there families.it is all about bowling wicket taking deliveries one after the another like yesteryears west indian pacemen used to do,
they never abused anyone but batsmen were terrified just by there aggressive bowling, and the world still loves them.
our very own Anil Kumble ,he is the highest wicket taker for the country,doest abuse anyone ,opponents respect him and they say he is the most aggressive bowler India has ever produced.Ajit Agarkar media says guy lacks attitude just because he doesn't abuse any one,but still he got close to 300 scalps in ODI cricket.The examples are endless.
your performances should speak for you,one should convey his messages with on field performances,not by abusing or uttering nonsense.
in recent past barring the last test vs RSA nobody remembers when Harbhajan performed above average,what he is doing consistently is bowling flatter on the legs and abusing others,and SreeSanth has done nothing to write home in his career so far but one good spell in Johannesburg test.
barring some rare instances nobody has abused Sachin,Rahul or Anil ,the world respect them for there behavior onfield and as they carry themselves off it.



It all started in Ganguly era,when he tookoff his shirt at Lords or made Steve Waugh wait at the toss, the media showed him as the best thing to have happened, and the BCCI(then headed by Ganguly's godfather Jagmohan Dalmia) didn't took any action.
if action was taken at that time, the thing would have been nipped in the bud, and the great game of Cricket wouldn't have reached the rock bottom it has reached today.

if we want to be world champions we should emulate 70s-80s West Indies,
we should aspire to be like Roger Federer or Michel Schumacher the champions respected & loved by everyone and not like the present Australian side or John McEnroe or the cry baby Fernando Alonso, people respect there achievements but not them.
