has cricket in our nation become a war rather than being just a sport?

Question

has the great game of cricket become a war and people are ready to kill each other for it?have the people forgotten to relate it as a sport only or they are relating it to their lives?

Answer 1

You are very much right.
Like in any other field Cricket also has become a way to earn money. Starting from players to coach to betting people everyone is running behind money.

Just imagine for a batsman we are spending around Rs. 15000/- for each of his run.
For a bowler we are paying Rs. 100000/- per wicket.
(Their annual pay out divided by number of run or wicket they take).

The advertising companies are paying even more.

Indian Cricket Board and advertising agencies are paying if a cricketer's performance is very good.

Betting people must be paying undisclosed maximum amount and that to for NOT PLAYING.

For a batsman to earn Rs. 15000/- they have to run 44 yards.
And to earn even more than that they don't have to run a single inch.
What they should prefer !!


All these things have converted a game to a war.
The TV show WWF we all enjoy even when we know all the games are planned.
We are cheering for our Cricket players even when we know all are pre-planned.


Rs. is Indian currency. 1 $ = Rs. 44/- approximately.

Answer 2

as an outsider looking in id have to say yes,i find it un-believable they way your supporters carry on just because your team didn't perform well for one tournament,you should support the team no matter what through good and bad times.

when our side lost the Ashes people here we were generally supportive of our side, the team was still greeted to a warm welcome and cheers when they came home,and i think this kind of support helped the side recover quickly and plan to win back the ashes-which they did.

i think the Aussie team knows it has the countries support no matter what,which lets the players relax and do what comes natural-play great cricket. inda need to relax a bit and then you may see the success you guys have promised for so long but not delivered

Answer 3

As for me, Cricket is the field where if got a chance, then u are famous. First make good runs, then u r so famous that instead of practising u will be seen on televison and ramps.
I think first, one agreement should be made that no crickets will be sign up for any advertisement or on ramps.
This will help them to concentrate on their pratice and they will do well on the fields.
