Atleast you got something right, finally. But as long as detractors exist, it is all the more difficult to turn the attention away from cricket. It does need supporters, yes.

Guys ask questions like ''why not concentrating on hockey or other game'' but not like ''why concentrating on cricket and not on hockey or others''. Anyways both will be unanswered untill we shine in olympics for which government must take a big part in helping players. Sadly, its like a deadlock situation. or may be Indian govt needs Naresh, Rachel, Srividhya to make India shine in other games other than cricket. :lol: Arguments never end.

You may like cricket. Millions of other people may like cricket too. But so much money is being poured into the game that cricketing talent as such has been pushed to the background. Total commercialization of cricket has led to ppl believing that all talent lies only in cricket, while you cant be further from the truth.Even when India continues to lose a string of matches, the money continues to pour in. We have seen instances of laymen indulging in stone-throwing as well as idol worshiping. Why this excessive emotion is all we ask?We are not against cricket per se. It is not like the Indian hockey team is not talented. They are regularly winning tournaments abroad. We don't want you to like hockey. All we ask is for a more fair distribution of resources to other sports too. So that we can exhibit our talent in those sports as well. Hari, your missing the point, as usual.
