RE:Cricket and India
by radhika kumari on Apr 03, 2007 03:32 AM

i can see our guys making a mark in the 100m dash, soccer, swimming, diving, badminton, basketball(ah!), man, you name it. physically we are not really there to excel in certain sports. the other fact is, what is wrong with liking cricket? in US they are mad with football and the local superball is like a world cup. it may sound and look funny but the bottom line is let the people enjoy and spend(waste) time with whatever thay want. may be it is part of british culture. the only problem with the average indian cricket fan is that they take losses too personally. but then life moves on. our team tours bangladesh in may and i am pretty sure we will make them pay. that will make our fans happy again albeit a certain section who will say, hey it is BD? it is not aussies. its all part of it. lets enjoy whatever cricket is around. rt now most fans are not able to come in terms with india's exit. some one will win the sup on april 28 and then we start thinking about the next series and so on. let people enjoy cricket and there is nothing wrong in some hero worship and money spending. thats the way india is and its fine. the only thing that shouldnt happen is attacking player's families, houses, properties etc.
