Ban cricket
by Ram Sharma on Aug 12, 2008 07:25 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Why cricket is being discussed here? The heading is about train is a great leveler.

Cricket and its live commentary should b banned to save other games. We should b ashamed of our achievement in Olympic, the real test of competition in various games. We r a big zero.

Cricket is a time consuming, non competitive (only some ex British colonies play it) game. It is also a drain on our resources, as we finance the world cricket.

Cricket was banned in US long ago.

Being a former British colony, cricket was played there also. But seeing the waste of time, test cricket was banned long ago.

Yes, test cricket was banned many yrs ago. Since it was also a British colony, cricket used b played a lot. But being businessminded, US banned test cricket.
