Though I am an avid cricketing fan and supporter of India, Still i believe that cricket has commodify beyond the status of a game, Since Pakistan is already out and India is onte verge of being out. Isnt that a lesson for the sponsors like hutch, hero honda and so many others including satmax who has already invested multimillion carores in this event, Also for the self intest news channels those are barking for months and creating the nonsence atmosphere for world cup by giving the absurd and non innovative programs about it. Cricket is all about performances and not just about keeping styles with the fashion and wardrobe. You are being taught a lesson, wonderfully we will be saved with low quality telecast by satmax, you satmax guys havnt u seen the channel 9 even a single time when you have thought about coverage the most important event in this game. Now take a lesson, nobody will awake till 4am to watch the match.

Very very true. Set max and doordarshan are the worst broadcasters.Set max is not showing even the full over. Before the ball reaches back to the keeper, the ads start blaring. I have sweared that i will NOT buy the products of which the ads are being shown. I urge all Indians to do the same, so that it can send a lesson to the brodcasters that they are ads in between criket, and not cricket in between ads.

Because Indian cricket team is highly overrated, overpaid, overhyped and a bunch of losers whom we have made Gods out of.
There are more deserving sportsmen than the cricketers for e.g the tennis stars, the chess players, hocky players, footballers or even athletes. Only thing is that we choose to ignore all of them. It is a known fact that many of such people live in substandard conditions.
