All I can say is that none of the cricketers asked us to buy a ticket and watch the match or hook onto private channel telecasts at pretty steep rates. It was a choice you and I made out of love for the game. So where is question of give and take? It is only a game - win or lose are the only two options (may be a tie in some cases).
As far as sports is concerned we still have a long way to go in our country. By nature we are soft sportsmen in all our sports - not ones who have battle hard mentality to win every game in the sports we play. I am sure you will agree with me on this point.
