Cricket is a game where win or lose is possible at anytime.

At the end of the day the best and luckiest team will win the game. Every sport teaches you to tolerate win or lose. In the winning cause, everyone cheers at it no one notices once mistakes. Even they notice it, no one cares much about it. In losing cause sometimes small faults which players are do make a huge impact both on themselves and the society. The administrations might slam people. Benefiters will slam players forgetting all the hard work they have done in the winning cause. It's up to everybody stand with players in their difficult times. If players don't correct themselves then the time comes to get the decisions. But making critics with no rational is not accepted in a country which cricket and sports has become a passion and done so much to the country. There are times players play like kids, even lower profile than them. It's up to administration, players and everybody take their own responsibilities. Today after while Mathews played a wonderful which reminded me where he batted in Melbourne with Malinga which praised by the Great Tony Greg. This reminded me the massive sixes Mathew hit against India or Australia at Premadasa where he scored a hundred in losing match.
