http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 vs. Pakistan: Do not expect morality in Mohali – ICC World Cup 2011
The quarter-finals stages of the ICC World Cup 2011 have finally arrived and we have been quite fortunate to see some good competition among the top teams of the world. At last, we are all privileged to see the clash which we all have been hoping to see
from the start of the event. India will be playing against Pakistan on 30 http://www.senore.com/Cricket/March-c74391 in Mohali and one expects this match to be a pure “fire cracker”.
No one expected these two arch rivals to be competing against each other in this important stage of the competition, and one thing is for sure, that we will be seeing some heart-broken Pakistani or Indian fans when this game is over. The match is going to
be huge and one wonders what will be the level of rating for this mega clash.
The television channels will be busy in getting some good sponsors for this important event and even the bookies will be busy in betting millions of dollars of money for this crucial clash of the tournament. Apart from all these things, one thing is for
sure and that is both the teams will be dying to deliver their best in this match and can go to “any level” to win this important clash.
When we say “any level” it basically means the tactics that are not considered ethical by any means. Both nations have a serious cricketing history between them and there have also been some unpleasant incidents between the two in the past.
The point is that one must not expect an ethical form of cricket between these nations and there is a chance that players might not remain at their best behaviour during the match. Both teams have some intense players in their line-up and they can easily
lose their moral attitude in tough times during the game.
Apart from cricket, the history which both these countries share with each other is enough to increase the blood flow in the players and it can easily make the players hungry in their approach. If there is a situation in which Pakistan has to make 20 runs
off 21 balls with only three wickets involved, then we can easily hope to see the Indian players will try some other means, apart from cricket, to distract the attention of the Pakistani players from winning the game.
Similarly, if India is faced with the same kind of situation, then we can easily hope that the Pakistani players might also try some awkward techniques to halt the Indian players from achieving their goals in the match. If there is any situation in the game
in which there is a controversial decision in the making, than we can easily expect the situation to get worse and there is a chance that players like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shahid-Afridi-c2482 and Gautum Gambhir might lose their calm in the process.
This situation which can easily be solved through a reasonable talk, has a tendency to go much further, as players from both sides might not accept to lose their stance in front of the opposition. The reason for this is the fact that both these nations take
their cricket very personal and when you take something too personal than you do not want to lose it by any means.
Another reason is that a certain mindset has been indoctrinated in the minds of the players that you can lose against any team, but you cannot lose against India if you are a Pakistani player and similarly you cannot lose against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 if you are an Indian
player.
In the case of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, we can expect some morality level between the two teams, as both these countries have a tendency of putting the game as a part of entertainment in which one team will win and the other will lose. In the case of India
and Pakistan, the situation is opposite and they place winning above everything else. Even the fans are not ready to see their respectable team lose against the other side and do get ferocious if they lose a certain match to each other. Overall, this is one
game in which we might see some scenes in which both teams might lose their decency in different phases of the match.
