ICL & IPL etc have come recently. Cricket became popular sport much earlier. The problem with other sports organisation is blaming cricket. The core issue is that majority people do not bother about other sports. When Dhanraj pillay was dropped out has any ripple seen? was there any body held responisble? So it is the people in general responsible. May be we can think of ways and means by which CRICKET is our national sport. What is wrong in that? what was the logic in declaring Hockey as nationa sport then? All other sports men were accomodated in good public sector companies and thereafter they build their bellys. No system exist to debate their utilities there after. But in Cricket most public follws and thus effigy burning and also victory dancning etc takes place. Who care hockey these days. Lat us blame the public. It is easy.
