Forgive and forget !

Two defeats in three matches.

A team which was touted as title contenders is knocked out in the first round. The Indian team must be having nightmares about the kind of reception they will get at the airports when they return home. Fans will be baying for their blood.

Editorials will be written about what went wrong. Private TV channels will call experts to the studio and the matter will be discussed threadbare, ad infinitum, ad nauseam.

But this too shall pass. Public memory is short. Soon the next tournament will start. This team will manage a good performance and the cricket crazy Indian public will forgive and forget. And all will be well till the next shocker.

This is a vicious circle and the gullible public is caught in the vortex of it.
