Why media is talking too much negative about Indian Team, too much

Hi Friends, We have lost against South Africa but that does not mean every one should talk only negative about Indian team and caption. I heard Veena Malik talking about match fixing, what she knows about Cricket, she should not talk about Indian team. Every channel talking about mistakes that Indian Caption did. Nehara should have not bowled last over and that even Dhoni admits but if we keep talking negative about players, their confidence will not be great so we should stop talking all non-sense. Do you think media is talking too much negative about last match against South Africa?

hello ajay, when things are like that why not people find faults or negative of the team of of the captain. are you happy with the performance of the Indian squad? that sachin tendulkar makes centuries is not enough to win a game. and if anything goes wrong the captain is targeted. yesterday that india went down to south africa is not a matter to hide or forget. granted that india could not make it over 300. but why failed to defend? this is due to the captain. he is involved in nepotism. or explain why he is including chawla every time. when there are positive things media would say good and when you are not doing well face the criticism and try to improve their performance. and ajay, you do not comment back to the response. If you do not comment back how shall we discuss and make it worth a discussion? Do not mind pls.

Does he not know that to earn here you have to type? And post? The team is playing well and this loss was required.You will be surprised what a loss can do to a good team. India will bounce back and WI will suffer, their bad luck. Obviously the team management is planning to spring a surprise or two and you may see Raina and Ashwin in the thick of things and don't make the mistake of under estimating Chawla and Nehra, those guys are really good.It is all about peaking at the right time and it looks as if the Indian bowling is getting it right just when it matters. The batting is already working like a dream.The fielding is slow but not they are not dropping sitters, the experience and calm will help India dominate this world cup. Yes they are leaking ones and twos but the batsmen are hitting the boundaries. Chawla did not play the last match as Dhoni tried out the faster bowlers and even allowed Nehra to take the last over. Quite clear he is trying out a few combinations and will get it right before the knock out stage.

Moksha I appreciate the way you have defended the men in blue. Do what you feel right but do not cut a sorry figure. These people are playing cricket round the year and most of them are internationally exposed. Nehra is taken for granted but what makes you tell that piyush Chawla would show his show one day and the day comes we are talking of another version of World Cup cricket. Persistence is the key to victory. Have you seen some of the South African Bowlers who are so confident and showing their persistence. You said about the batting line up. What did they do the other day against SA? Just luck and chance. If got going well and good and if not then a 'zero' "Big hitter" ? Where the big hitters hide when the nation is in need of their performance. I doubt if they watch the action replay or read news papers to read the mind set of the people.

One bad game and suddenly Dhoni is worst captain , Nehra is the worst bowler and India have worst middle order.All those news channels ,Veena Malik or whoever dosent know even the ABC of cricket.Yes its true that Indian middle order didnt play responsibly , decisions of Dhoni were backfired but it has happened with best captains in the game.Criticizing the team for a bad performance is understandable but why sensationalizing it.Same Nehra has been national hero many times for example in game against Pak where they needed 9 runs in one over while chasing 350 and many games like these.I think it good for the Indian team that they learned the lesson.Gavaskar rightly said that Indian batsman were playing glamorous shots and hence they were able to add only 29 runs .But then its a game after all, no team can win all the matches.As a fan i am disappointed but still i have full faith in my team that they will do well.News channels are after TRP my friend and they will sensationalize this loss a lot as they have to compete with other news channels,but Indian fans should not lose their patience.This is not the end , Indian team will bounce back strongly .As far as Veena Malik is concerned she noting more than attention seeking cartoon who is obsessed with match fixing .She thinks she will talk about match fixing and will get lot of attention.Shame on Indian media actually for making a very good team look like bunch of incompetent money minded fools.I am sure players are feeling much more bad than all of us so we should support our team.

well the duty of media is to spread the news to the public when they dont have any big news they get cricket,d company,etc. if india win a match they will show the whole day the same news if they loose they will start using negative words against the players. it is not a new thing india it has happen again & again if dhoni score a 100 or more then they will show dhonis performance whole day i do remember a day when song on dhoni was made ye desh hai veer jawano ka dhoni jaise mastano ka yahaan dhoni jaise hote hai jo bowleron ko dhote hai. after the next match the same channel started saying negetive about him when he was out for lower score.

I agree. Our media has become over hyped, over critical, frenzy creating media rather than a more responsible media. One win and they claim these are the world beaters and one loss and suddenly the team becomes complete duds. I have stopped reading all these so called experts and media articles and stick to some experts who give a more balanced view of the situation. Cheers! Ram

Well well well, I was also in shock when Pakistan lost against New Zealand and the whole world not only Pakistani media were came out with the same attitude against Pakistan Team and Kamran Akmal. I defended my Team as a whole and little bit Kamran akmal too.(You can check my previous replies regarding similar behaved topics). Look This is part of the game and please do not take it too far from where you heart yourself emotionally. I was saying from the day one, "If India want to win then they must score 370+ as per their bowling strength is concerned". Which means do not create extra hyip around your team so the whole country can digest it easily. I must say my these words again, "India is most over rated team of this tournament". Which is not an good sign. This is just a game even we are emotionally attached with this game but we have to admire it as game first. Anyway I appreciate your efforts for your team. Cheers

We have every right to criticize because when they win we are the same people who put them on a pedestal and do you really think this was the match that they should have lost. They have put all the hard work of Sachin, Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambir go to waste and they are expected to win the World Cup.

Winning and loosing is a part of game.besides only negatively criticising our team,we should appreciate there effort to defend this match.Afterall match reaches to last over and hence we should take it sportingly.I think this match had gave lessons to team India for upcoming games.And definately Veena Malik should not speek about performance of team India.ALL THE BEST TO TEAM INDIA FOR UPCOMING GAMES.

Some time Sachin is Compared to God whats this???

Frankly speaking Dhoni does a great job atleast in terms of handling media hype. The media guys try for cheap news and popularity by bringing up new new controversies.. One day they praise then like GOD.. next day they throw them to ditch...Raina was really bashed by all these guys just few weeks before and pathan was termed as next big thing by the same media ..now in matter of few weeks they wanted to throw pathan out and get Raina In.... We all know Indian team is not invincible one like old aussies.. we will have some defeat in between like this.. Lets hope Dhoni and his Boys learn from these lessons..
