If give an option either watch India Vs Australia ODI or a free trip to Singapore on the same day, most of our brothers in India will decline the latter. But if India is 5 or 6 down chasing a competitive Aussie total, they would repent for what they lost.
That’s is the nature of every Indian. By saying that I didn't intend to offend anyone, me being biggest follower of Cricket in any form.
People in India, particularly for those like me - should realize this. With such a focus and passion for willow game, we only set notorious examples.
IPL - Multinational Companies makes dollars; Politician become Cricketing board and vice versa; and we get beaten up in stadium. In the auction and IPL all the "Black Money" is being whitened. Fortunate Cricket players whether Indian or Foreigner earns.
Here I am not against Cricket players. But those you make cash in the name of game. Its total eclipse in the Indian subcontinent for next 4 weeks. Media will renounce 2G, CWG, S-band etc till the final clash.
National Games: And for that same reason all of the private news channel has completely ignored the 34th National Games. Only state run DD has spent a lot through its Live relay and highlights shows of the National Game for last 2 weeks. For most of main land India, though Hockey- the national game, Cricket is their daily diet. Same being the reason none of the southern states figured in the top 5 in medal tally (exception Kerala where Cricket is far away). Manipur with 23 lakh people stands first in the medal tally while Tamilnadu with 30 time more population thriving in 11th position.
This raises several questions in my mind. What does the Sports ministry in all the states perform if a small state like Manipur put up a fantastic show while states like us, Andra, WB.
