Cool It Down Guys !

The IPL is producing some great cricket especially in the last couple of games and its wonderful to see all these great superstars, Indian and international, be all excited and enthu about it. However, they seem to be going just a bit over the top with it

The other night Ganguly said this was one of the best victories of his career. It may have been on the spur of the moment - but really ? He who has led India to test series victories in Pakistan, to test victories in Australia, England, West Indies ? He who lifted Indian cricket out of the doldrums of match-fixing and enjoyed five glorious years at the top ? He who led India to World Cup final heights ?

And today Jayasuriya said it was one of his greatest career moments to open with Tendulkar ! Again, no disrespect to Tendulkar, but does this rank anywhere in comparison to winning the World Cup ? The double century to win the Oval Test of 1998 ? And so many of those fantastic victories to which he has led Sri Lanka in the past ?

These guys need to just tone it down a little bit and keep a sense of perspective I feel.
