some of the reactions are hurtful. it's not like they didn't try - they simply got outplayed by two better teams (bangladesh on that particular day, and sri lanka in general). you're supposed to back your players - constructive criticism is good, even asking for someone to get dropped is fine, but not when you question the integrity of the people who have to carry the weight of a billion citizens waiting back home with stones and flames and whatever they can get a hold of.
i know cricket means a lot to many, especially dwellers of the sub-continent, but really, at the end of the day it's only another game.
