I wish India to be looser in World Cup Cricket

Anirban.........



I can't really understand why people call this tourmament as World Cup. This is a big joke to all of us Indians. Media is provoking us to believe this and we do. We just don't think that because of this jocker like circus, we are loosing our control over other sporting events. We were at the last position in tha last Olympic. Ghana is qualifying for WC Football, Malta is winning Gold in Olympics, and we are becoming crazy behind all these bloody cricketers. Still we have time. We should throw Cricket and Cricketers in the sea. Because, making people fool with this type of circus like game is very easy and we are becoming fool everyday by cricketers, Bollywood stars and politicians. May god bless our country...................................

Yes I am an Indian and I love my country and I can not see the downfall of my nation. You will see the effect of cricket after 15 years. Only time will tell.

Some effects are already seen.

Some people are mad for the game and some are mad against the game.

It is still better than boozing, gambling or scuffling, although these three things might go along as well.

Still it is better.

The positives are - inspite of all crazy fan behaviours cricket is something on which entire India can unite. It is a sort of ingredient of nationalism.

Secondly just imagine how much money is generated and spend around the game. Spending by some means income for some others. Players coaches organisers TV commentators column writers groundsmen food packet sellers tattoo makers etc etc etc. The money these people spend generates more money and so on.

So pleez have mercy on these people.

Don't rob their livelihood.

Dont rob the livelihood of Sachin Saurav Rahul and and and and and Viru also and thers in the team or out of the team.

I beseech you do not plead for something which if the country somehow accepts would create a huge uneployment beside other reasons posted by

the readers.

Thanks!

Just forget it for a grater cause.
