50yrs back India was one of the top team in the World.
15 yrs back India was one of the top team in the Asia.
Now our Hockey team is not even in top 3-4 teams in Asia.

If you do not have knowledge in the subject try not to poke your nose in it.

Especially when it concerns the pride of the nation.

Sandeep HRDT and sumyadev are sentimental indian hockey fans.Pls let them be reminded for the past 35 years the indian hockey team have never won a world cup ever.Of late they only win minor tournaments like the asia cup and a few other tourneys here and there and take pride in themlseves.Where it comes to playing teams like holland and germany they are stripped nude.

you can say the same of Indian cricket team. Last WC was 25 yrs ago ,dont talk abt 20 20 now, the way bthey were thrashed by australia in the recent 20 20 showed that it was a fluke.

Reddy, are you blind about the recent victory in commonwealth series? was it a fluke to win two finals in a row? Don't write against cricket if you do not know abt the game.
