India have no divine right to win

Memo to Indian cricket supporters: it is time to grow up. Sport is not about winning, it is about losing. Twelve teams have been taking part in this tournament and only one of them will return winners. The rest will be losers.

They will lose in various ways - some thrillingly, some abjectly - but lose they will. It is what makes the moments of triumph all the more special.

After all, if winning was all that there was, what would there be to celebrate? Indian supporters, the most immature in cricket, cannot seem to grasp this simple fact.

So where once temples were erected in Ranchito deify its most famous son, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, now effigies are burnt. Once the Army had to be called out because the mob had laid homage to a hair salon where Dhoni was having his luxuriant locks lopped off, but veneration has now turned to vituperation.

Burning effigies of losing captains on the sub-continent is nothing new, as Wasim Akram and countless others would testify. It was, though, more understandable at a time when Indian cricket was looking to flex its muscles. In India, as elsewhere, cricket was part of a wider struggle for independence and respect. That battle has been fought and won long ago.

Everybody now accepts that Indiais the epicentre of the world game, just as everybody accepts India as an economic and political powerhouse. There is no more powerful cricketing nation on earth, either financially or in terms of playing resources. But that does not bring an entitlement to victory.

It is time for Indian cricket supporters to grow up and accept defeat as an essential part of the game. Sport is not about winning it is about losing. Trust me, we in English cricket know more about that than anyone.

Francis Boyle, Professor of International Law at the University of Illinois College of Law, and Bruce Fein, a Washington D.C. Attorney, speaking at a seminar in Chennai organized by the International Tamil Center Monday, reiterated charges of Genocide against the Sri Lanka Government alleging massacre of more than 50,000 Tamil civilians, sources attending the event said. While Prof. Boyle urged India to file charges in International Court against Sri Lanka for violating Geneva conventions, and to stop Colombo 'to cease and desist from all acts of genocide against Tamils,' Fein stressed the urgent need for the Tamils to reach a 'consensus on their political aspirations.' The event was organized by Dr Panchadcharam, a consultant physician from New York.
