India will win
by vipul saxena on Mar 09, 2008 02:39 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Our country has so much negative attitude towards games other then cricket.They criticise all the players and all the games other then cricket. We, hockey fans, are fully in support of our Indian Team. Defeat England.
Long live Indian Hockey

Mr Saxena, cricketars are most criticised than any other players in India because most Indians love cricket and treat the game as relegion. Hocky is in present state because of politics in Hockey Federation and lack of interest in the game of people. Hocky, tennis are such games which can not be played by masses but crciket can be by any two persons with ball and bat in hand. Indians love success and if India qualifies for the Olympics every Indian will feel proud. But why compare with and critisise Cricket? You may not like cricket but cricket fans in India like hocky too.

Why Print or Visual Media dont give the details of the matches in length. Cricket is hyped by the combination Media, Mafia, Businessmen and Cine artists and keep the glamour going on despite loses in matches despite bas performances

there is no need to criticise cricket or earnigns of cricket palyers. If hockey is not popular in masses is the failure of Indian Hockey federation which is a goverment body (BCCI is private body) and failure of two cartoons gill and jyothi
