Click to play videoNew Delhi: Whoever said it's just a game? Look for sport-related suicides on the Internet and you'll see there are any number of die-hard fans whose misery sometimes ends in tragedy.
But many cricket fans are expressing their grief with comedy. As for the players themselves, they may not find any of it funny.
While some billboards were meant to push our cricketers towards great performances, today they are just rubbing salt into the wounds of the aggrieved cricket fan who has turned to his handy cell phone and feels that offence is the best defense.
"After the World Cup, I've been getting and sending a lot of good SMS jokes,” said a cricket fan, Narrottam Barik.
"In court, judge asks the kid, who do you want to live with? Not mother, nor father but with the Indian cricket team, because they beat no one!" said another cricket fan, Viral Desai, recounting a joke.
And if television advertisements tried to turn the boys in blue into cool cats, those big teeth are being mercilessly pulled by email forwards that are suggesting new jobs for the team with chaiwallahs, barbers, coconut sellers and fishermen being favoured professions.
So it seems that if this team doesn't pull up its socks, the monkey business is bound to continue.
