Poor guys. Who wants a job where people want to kill you if you under perform?? Can you imagine such a situation in the corporate world?? - CEO, you have not met your targets: A shareholder wants to *kill* you?!!! Jeez. @ Abhinav - Well, I think the contracts will dry up on their own. Who wants to have a guy who could not even get to Phase 2 of the WC promote the product? @ Parvez - Yep, very true. They are #6 and the lower rung teams could always go out... I loved Prem Panicker's final paragraph in his Rediff article -- "As Boris Becker once famously said, no one died. A team - our team - lost, because it did not deserve to win. Now to settle down, and watch some good cricket, beginning with a crackerjack game between Australia and South Africa tomorrow." @ Libertarian – so true. Poor guys.

The team that ranked no. 6 in the ICC rankings out of 8 test playing nations got knocked off the world cup.

Not from their salaries, but from the revenue they make out of the commercials. When we stop buying the products they endorse, seeing which when the companies stop hiring them for their ads, and ultimately when this money stops flowing into their pockets, our cricket team might wake up and start performing! Long message short - BOYCOTT ANY & ALL PRODUCTS ENDORSED BY ANY CRICKETER FROM THE TEAM! Where are our cricketers earning all their crores from?
