Agree, but the pride and the dignity of being a part of the winning team is much rewarding than modelling. A few individual performances by our younger cricketers have ranked them among the celebrities and perhaps this is coming in the way of the team performance. This, of course, is my personal view. Before the start of a tournament in selecting the final eleven, we have the problem of 'whom to drop', but as the series proceeds we end up in 'whom to take.'

So you agree with me - that the game comes before modelling. I think we should end the debate here.
What probably should deserve more criticism is the over-hype in the media.
Every cricketer gets an overdose:
Tendulkar flops - and is labelled 'Endulkar'.
Ganguly fails - and everybody who can be heard is forcing him to retire.
Dhoni smashes a few good runs - he's ready to topple Gilchrist.
Parthiv Patel chanced to enter the test arena - they killed his career by over-praising his 'abundant talent'.
Pathan, Zaheer, Balaji, Piyush Chawla - you name them, they've all been stung by the over-the-top media glare...

Self - belief is the most potent force.

MJ, I agree with you that game comes first before modeling and it would come only if you play well. But I would like to differ about media attention and bad press.

IMHO, it all depends on how an individual handles the attention that he is getting. A certain Tendulkar has always been under the scrutiny of media and probably was subjected to more media attention than Dhonis and Yuvrajs of today. He handled it well. Then there was Vinod Kambli, very good talent in my opinion, but he could not digest sudden fame.

Nothing can stop media from sensationalizing your success/failures. Sooner the players understand this, better for their careers.

Cheers,

Another typical instance of Aussie smart-alec-giri and the the obvious bias of the men who 'sit in judgement'.
Michael Clarke and Chris Gayle exchange words. No one says anything, not even the umpires.
Next day, Ponting pulls a fast one - praising Clarke and asking why Gayle isn't penalised.
Procter The Incompetent immediately holds a hearing and punishes Gayle - as is to be expected.
Clarke goes scot-free - as is to be expected.

Self - belief is the most potent force.
