Wright words

The outgoing coach of Indian cricket, John Wright said today in an interview

"Life has never been dull in this position. It is something I'll consider: where to go from here. I think sometimes a period of reflection is good. There will be other challenges for me, I'm sure of that. I said this before. I've always felt that the passion of the Indian fans is very special and those are the people for who cricket plays a big part. I've always felt they deserve a good team. They understand that winning and losing can be part of the game but they deserve a good team to make them proud. During the tough times, that sort of kept me going.

On asked whether he will watch India in the coming years
Wright said "Like a hawk. "

On asked about his connection with India
Wright said, "My son and daughter support India. Of course I will follow India. They say that India touches you and that is correct in my case as well."

I could have wept if I would have heard this live. The boys owed him one last big one!! #$%#$%$%#^#%#@%^@&**^%$$#, Anyway, tomorrow will be another day, and after all I really wish, really really wish, cricket was only a sport for me, or for that matter for the whole sub continent, but unfortunately it is not and it will never be.

John Wright, I thank you for all that you tried and all that you did for the Indian cricket team! May the best be with you.
