Let us face it guys that cricket is not the in thing and if anything is a sign of a non progressive society.
but for the fact that sponsors have spendt millions of rupees(or is it dollars) this game should have died a natuaral death 10 years ago. All the memebers are being paid horrendous amounts for what? To play? Then why do they sport ’’Sahara ’’ shirts and MRF bats?.let us face it these guys are just models doing the ramps and in the process making all of us fools.Let there be a clause in the contract that if player doesnt play well(including missed catches) he will have to refund the sponsor money.
If money is being paid to sponsor Sachin how are we sure that money is not being used to see that he is in the team?
Suppose management had made a decision to drop him but with crores at stake and the amount of influence money has everywhere, he is not dropped. Palio and Visa are not ditched and they will go any length to see him in the team.
similarly for the lesser mortals.
Media makes such a hyoe over a silly one day victory(and who and why T shirts were taken off) it is really a blow to ones sensibilities.
I mean Kaif scores well in a SINGLE one day tie with a weak knee team and the WHOLE print media is ga ga.What is this? have we lost all sense of equilibrium or what?Let him at least be consistent before going all out for him.
Let Saurav win a few decent Test matches/onedayers before you splash his beaming face all over the front pages.
Cricket is being played in countries who do not have the class in them or lack the knack to be ahead.(England and Australia included).
The best part is there are 2 formats to this stupid game.One you play in 50 overs other in 5 days or 500 overs.
whoever heard of such thing in any other sport.Imagine a kabbadi game for 5 days or for that matter a polo game or soccer....
Let us face it that some one has put in a lot of money and these are the guys laughing their way to the banks.
So forget the team, earn money. Just bet on Sachins duck, India losing the match, Saurav getting 10 runs etc. As for the Sehwags and Kaifs well when you have spend so much on your cricket ’’Academies’’ you have every right to earn it back and replenish your reserves.
Till reality dawns happy betting!!!!
