So much delusion.
Before the series everyone was praising Kohli to no end and what happened? He failed in inexplicable manner.
Now everyone is criticising him and calling him **** and saying he's hardly a top batsman and whats going to happen?
People were saying **** about Barcelona and assuming they were all but knocked out after 0-4 result in first leg and what happened Today? Miracle comeback.
Everyone was calling Aus **** prior to series and that its gonna be a walkover? And what happened next? Aus give India a 300 run thrashing.
Can you not seriously see the pattern of nature in action...
Tendulkar had been on a century spree and after Tendulkar's 99th 100, it was all about Tendulkar blah blah and what happened? He couldn't get another ton for more than a year.. stuck on 99.
People were egotistically calling Ponting as the best batsman and that he would easily break all of Tendulkars records and what happened next? The guy completely lost it in total inexplicable manner.. 100s vanished 70s 80s became his norm and soon after, he declined.
Play of nature.
After the first test, Aussies started to think too highly of themselves and of certain players like O'Keefe, and what happened next?
India were thinking too highly of themselves prior to series especially of their batting (after some incredible scores against England) and what happened next? 100 all out, 100 all out, and 189 all out.
All the talk with regards to spin bowling prior to series was about Ashwin Ashwin blah blah and what happened? He turned out to be one of the biggest flops. Lyon bowled miles better than him.
Nature plays. It elevates your Egos and then crashes it down, sometimes ruthlessly. Its what it does all the time in all fields in all aspects.
People were ridiculing & hating Trump and saying all sorts of stuff about him and assuming he would badly lose and what happened next?
I can go on and on with numerous examples of how nature operates.
1983 world cup final. West Indies thought too highly of themselves and were assuming that they were going to win their 3rd world cup on the trot and after India were bundled out for 183, they were way over the top, fans were already celebrating and what happened next? India bowled WI out for 140 odd.
So many instances where the play of nature is so strongly evident yet we go on thinking that its 'we who did it, and its we who are sooo good, we can do anything, and that its all under our control'. BS. Its all a play of nature.
