Autrialia wins in Cricket, Rugby, Swimming , are better placed in Olympics. Not to mention their good show in the of the soccer worldcup just going down to eventual winners Italy by a sole goal. Indias on the other hand are behind cricket, eat cricket, suck cricket, drink cricket and loses in cricket. And other sports in India is sucked by Cricket. No use.. this will go on until people change and stop running behind politicians and cricket. Future will also be the same.

I agree with you...though i also feel, wat's lacking is the cultural mindset...parents still across the country focus way too much of time and energy on academics and too little encouragement on sports...this mindset also spills over and shows the absurdly poor infrastructure for national level tournaments...in other countries one can fail in school because of poor performance in fitness/gym or sports...but in India...the physical training instructors are the same ones forcing English grammar down childrens' throats...so its a bigger prob...one that has a very bleak future in the present scenario.

Indians does not take risk and wants security. Indians concern for food ,clothing and shelter Therefore middle class and lower middle class wants their children to be professionals like engineers, doctors, graduates etc.They never try to become sportsmen.
