I read somewhere that BCCI is not supported by Indian Government but just a private entity sponsored by companies. The indian team doesnt play for india but plays for BCCI. Even the cricketers, they are owned by BCCI which runs by sponsorships. So, I believe there is nothing wrong that the sponsors get good advertisements throught player shirts, bats n wotever. Its only us fool fans skip schools, colleges, office, work, sleep and spend hundreds of rupees or dollars to watch them play thinking that they are playing for the country. We franatic frenzy fans feel utmost happy n joy when they win and feel depressed when they lose. we even fight/argue with other country fellows on these issues. But remember the cricketers are just doing their job for thier employer(BCCI) and filling up their pockets. They are not playing for our country, they are just playing for themselves and their employers. So Chill out and enjoy whatever you can.

Mar, what u said is correct. Indian Team is actually BCCI team. But its the same as in all countires for all sports. Brazil foot ball team is not owned/paid by Brazilian Govt, its their football association. If u take India, do u think Indian Hockey is governed by Govt, of India? No, its have a Hockey federation of its own. So no problem in supporting them. Just think the support which Schumi gets in germany. Is he playing for Germany? No.. he played for Ferrari, an Italian Company. But does that stope his fans from Germany boycotting his games. So I dont think there is any wrong in supporting Indian Players. Take the case of Kalpana Chawla or Sunita. Why we are supporting them? They are NASA (American) scientists. Hope u got my point.
