My Dear Naveen Jee,
Let me try to answer the points raised by you:
1. "....I am just saying that this cricket close all the dorrs for other games in India and still they are just hopless....."
Acc to you we are so obsessed with Cricket that we have stoped bothering about other games in India. Well to an extent I agree with you but there are many reasons why cricke is more popular in India then other sports. One is that its being run in a very professional manner and that has made BCCI financially independent. With the kind of money at its disposal its not dependent on the Govt for promoting the game. Hope you will not suggest that we take 80% of the BCCI money and donate it to various sports associations so that they can also flourish like cricket. Or its like saying that why Punjab has got a better per capity income as compared to Bihar or Orrisa.
Its was after the 1983 world cup win that cricket become immensely popular in India. That victory gave millions of Indians reason to smile, enjoy and feel proud to be an Indian. Before that it was Hockey which was more popular thanks to the 8 Olympic Golds that our Hockey team had won. But after that it has been a steady decline for the Hockey in India. Same applies to football as well. Well we can go into the deatils of that but may be at a later stage and in a diff thread.
2. Reg " ...Plus we are so concern about our Jat bhai ( sehwag) and othe players but they don;t care about us or this country...."
How can you say that we are only concerned abt sehwag and other players only....i would want you to go through the previous posts on sehwag where he has already been discussed at length...and the conclusion which i have drawn from them is that most of the worthy Jatlanders and very critical of him when he is not performing but also wish him to regain his form to help team india win.....its the team which is more important than an individual....we are not like bangalis who are always more content to see only Sourav score and perform...
3. "....they are just proffesional players and they are just playing for money and name...."
Whats wrong in playing for money??? On the one hand you are saying that they are professional and then in the same breath you are contradicting yourself by claming that they only play for the money. The life of a professional sportsman is very short.......and they have all the right to earn good money during their peak period to lead a comfortable and good life post thier retirement or forced exit from the sport. They are also human beings like u and us and they also have have a family to take care of. Also you must be something to be in that group of top 15 out of 1 billion people.It seems that you are disappointed becuase despite being paid so much money why are not they performing like machines. Give them a break yaar.......
4. "....Any i know u are fan or cricket it;s hard for you to undertsand what I mean...."
love all the sports alike .....I am a fan of sports.....i have been a sportsman myself and most of my relatives have been associated with sports in one way or the other, and i am not talking about cricket only....i am talking abt sports like Cycling, Athletics, Wrestling and Kabbadi......and of course cricket......
I hope you will look at the game of cricket from a broader prospective and consider its just like any other sports.....if the Indian cricket team will not perform up to the expectations of the people then the game will automatically go back to the classes from the masses, but that doesnt seems to be happening too soon in the near future..

I am not shocked from this defeat or anything, Anyway I am not evening talking about this defeat. I am just saying that this cricket close all the dorrs for other games in India and still they are just hopless. Plus we are so concern about our Jat bhai ( sehwag) and othe players but they don;t care about us or this country, they are just proffesional players and they are just playing for money and name. You think they will be still playing if u get nothing from this world cup? never. And these players have so much money still they do zero contribution in our society or for our MERA DES MAHAN. Plus anyone can buy our indian team like SHARA gruop or Hero Honda as long as they can bid good money for these useless players. Any i know u are fan or cricket it;s hard for you to undertsand what I mean .
Ok ji Raam Raam.
