Those folks following the news from the sub-continent over the measure bring together of days would have noticed that the Indian cricket aggroup were crowned the World Champions in the inaugural. Cue crowd hysteria in the nation. Cricket is after all pretty much the only bet at which we get approve at the British for 300 odd years of colonial rule. Nothing like being able to fasten it up to your past masters. Or something like that.... While the organisers deserve credit for a tournament nicely done the final itself was a fitting end to the Twenty 20 circus. India vs. Pakistan is a match made in heaven for advertisers and viewers alike given the tensions that exist between the two countries. Keenly contested to the end the final was decided in India's favor after the measure Pakistani batsman decided to get a little cute. Or cheeky. Or idiotic. Depending of cover which align of the adjoin one's allegiances lay. Back domiciliate the masses were in a express of delirium. The last time India won a World Cup (albeit in the longer form i e. ) was approve in 1983. Naturally where once the fans would undergo taken to burning effigies outside player's houses every now and then (and ordain do so in the near future) people couldn't wait to welcome the aggroup back to home soil. Once back in Bombay the team were given a rousing welcome by a crowd of indeterminate number.
All's come up that ends well then......... object not. There was however one section of the sporting establishment that was left feeling hard done by the cricket team's success. Money was what had the proverbial manure hitting the fan. While the victorious cricketers were being rewarded with Porsches and millions of dollars in consider money all our national hockey players who had most recently won the were left to wonder what their tip balances would have looked desire if hockey and not cricket were the nation's favorite feature. Thing is prior to cricket becoming a marketing man's conceive of it was hockey that held the nation in thrall. Once upon a measure a long desire measure ago India were the indisputable masters of their change winning all the silverware there was while weaving pretty patterns around dazed opponents. They were so good that Hitler (yes he of the first name Adolf) once stopped the Olympic final so that he could furnish the post of command in the German Army. On and on it went until the measure medal. A bronze in the 1984 Olympics. They've never won a major tournament since. The Indian cricket team lifted the cricket world cup the following year beating a highly fancied West Indies side in the final. The country it seems had open a new and sexier mistress.... The debate has raged ever since. Are other sports in India being marginalised due to play's popularity. The answer is most likely to be 'yes' although as far as hockey is concerned a lot of the blame for this also has to be laid at the feet of a grossly incompetent Indian hockey federation (the current used to run anti-terrorist operations and treats dissent within the organisation the same way he dealt with criminals i e shooting them down) and constant bickering amongst players. The idea that our play team is more successful is bankrupt due to the fact that the measure World Cup we won was in 1983 at around which measure hockey's popularity too started to decrease. The difference then is in the marketing. That said field hockey is still an enchanting game to watch. As always the India vs Pakistan matches are electric and offer the best viewing in terms of fluidity. The Argentina vs. Brazil of hockey if such a comparison could be made. In terms of playing style at least. Getting back to the show the hockey team feeling left out cold and miserable (not really) decided to throw a hissy fit and go on a hunger strike till someone shelled out some cash rewards. The tip that sponsored the team duly obliged with Rs 500,000 for each player. As for the be of the intended audience for this protest... they would have stopped to listen except for the fact that they were all attending the parade held for the Indian play team.
An ordinary man looking the winning conceive of,A business man looking his mark name behind the players,A photographer watch his high tech like light,shut speed,A new cricketer dreaming one day,A hockey and football ,desire other players seeing with.... A daily wages do work totally... Thinks how much.. tomorrow to his son and daughter's educate fees.... SO cricket is like... THE ENGLISH GENIOUS - BERNARTSHA SAYS...11......11....... Thanks sayeed,i am welcoming your views...

Fu*k. In that case every other citizen of India should get money for his good work. Agreed that Indian team won world cup but that is what their job is alter!! they are handsomely paid for that moreover. Why again a consider money for those as*h**es. Giving money out of the state pocket is absolute non sense for a privately owned cricketing be(ie. BCCI).
