The Caribbean Masala - 2

Oh dear! This curry is really developing a bad taste day by day!

Nothing could have really stigmatized the facade, but the sudden and controversial death of the Pakistani Coach, Bob Woolmer, a gentlemen from Britain. If this was not enough, Pakistani captain Inzmam-ul-Haq announced his retirement from international one day cricket. He will be playing his last one day international match and his last match as the captain of Pakistani cricket team on 21st march, that's when Pakistan will be playing with Zimbabwe.

The platter was already filled with strange ingredients and as if it was not enough the Brits added their own version of miseries. I thought only Manchester United fans were drunkard-outrageous-hooligan machines, but it turns out that even the British Cricket team is not far behind. Andrew Flintoff, the British Vice-Captain, has been shown the door for his out-off-the-line behavior and several other players of the team have been fined for "breach of team discipline".

The picture outside the Caribbean is also not well painted. The fans out there in sub-continent are outrageous over the unexpected defeat of their teams (Read: India & Pakistan) in WC. Effigies are burnt, road side protest and some have gone even to an extent of attacking players houses.

It's been just the first week of a month long drama and already it's turning out to be a show not well directed!
