Relax, mate... It's just a game!

Cricket has surpassed all possible limitations in the subcontinent. Every person wants his/her national team to win, which is perfectly alright. But then again, not always can a team that plays badly on a particular can get away with it as Pakistan and India showcased last week. The best team ON THAT DAY wins the match -- that is the beauty of a SPORT, in general. Unfortunately, there always will be a few dastardly people who just cannot absorb any distasteful result; they cry out loud and cause mayhem.
I wonder what would have happened if a subcontinent team had lost a game after having amassed 430-odd runs like Australia did against South Africa last year.

Unless every 'real' cricket fan realises the folly of bringing passion and pandemonium together we are in grave danger of killing the sport.

But the question is who will swallow such a bitter pill even though it is only for the well being of the game?
