Cricket matches during exams?
by CP Venkatesan on Mar 31, 2005 03:43 PM   Permalink

It is a fate that we cannot escape from this tragedy like accepting Indian politicians.Cricket test matches and one day matches are played from October to March during which time all school/college exams are conducted. Cricket Control Board decides the dates. There is nobody to put pressure to change the schedule. Even the top political leaders in the rank of PM, CM are invited or they themselves spend their time watching Cricket play. Mostly in all government offices, nationalised banks, Insurance companies, they waste their time watching/discussing about the play. Millions of man hours are lost. Nobody is bothered about it. The school children are no escape to this situation. They waste about 40-50 days by watching cricketing matches.

The best way is to stop telecasting the matches in TVs. Only highlights should be shown in the evenings.Several countries do not encourage the long hours, days and months game into their habit. Though the game is interesting one but should not be allowed like this to continue which will have adverse effect in our country's properrity particularly school/college going students.
