Cricket hype
by Shankar Panday on Mar 27, 2007 07:21 AM

cricket has been hyped up in India by the media..its a so so game, not really a global sport..the game never attained the high skill levels of football or basketball..as a matter of fact not even one cricketing nation attained the levels of West Indies of the 70s...India should now place its resources and energy into developing more grass root & mass sports which take shorter time and you can enjoy with your family...football, hockey, basketball are great sports and necessary for a healthy nation..community centres should have these facilities and offer these sports which are affordable, and reduces class disparity thru sports..more power to mass level and physically demanding sports for India...make a resolution to reach the World Cup football finals !!
