When the Heart beats for ..... India !!!
As i look back at the performance of the Indian team at the world cup, its just got me thinking as to how we rarely revel under pressure, especially when we talk about representing the country. Got me back to one of the shows Harsha Bhogale did, and a statement he made about Leander, and i quote,"I feel that Leander should be the honorary 12th man of the Indian cricket team for the passion he brings while representing the country, which is sorely lacking among our cricketers".

Truly perhaps the only person in history who seems to revel in the pressure and the honour of representing the country. His heroics while playing for the flag far out do anything he has done on the tour as an individual. Numerous and heroic wins in the Davis cup , and Olympic bronze and almost another with Mahesh.

Surprisingly some of our most heroic moments have been in the sport of tennis and especially in the Davis cup where the likes of Vijay Amritraj, Zeeshan Ali, Ramesh Krishnan, Leander & Mahesh have made a mockery of the rankings and superior opponents to steer the country home.

Is there some way to spread this spirit around ?
