Please all you guys should realise one thing"CRICKET IS NOT A SPORT". This Cricket is played only by English and its erstwhile colonies. Rather Cricket was a game, which was invented to entertain the british viceroys & governor generals. It was a pass time game. The international fraternity never realised this as sport. Sadly, all the former colonies continued to play the game, when the world has rejected this sport & NEVER PLAYED AT THE OLYMPICS. Cricket was viciously designed to kill time and deviate the attention of the people from other constructive purpose like NATION BUILDING, WEALTH & HEALTH BUILDING and betterment of the society. The parasite yet lurks in and a nation of 1.3 billion people, is pushed back by a day everytime theres a match. Isn't it irony, first GOLD MEDAL for the first time in 150 years of OLYMPICS HISTORY. Cheers Bindra---Death to Cricket..Death to all Cricketers who are UNKNOWN elsewhere in the world.

Well, with the exception of Formula 1, almost all the games that currently exist started as pass time activity. So it doesnt take anything away from cricket. And even though cricketers are unknown in parts of the world where cricket is not played, it doesnt make their achievements any lesser. For that matter, almost 50% of people in India and China (who constitute nearly one third of world population) would fail to recognize Kobe Bryant or Shaquille O'Neal or Michael Jordan. Does that make NBA insignificant ?
