Ladies and Gentlemen (North and South American Nationals) I am not talking about insect species belongs to Gryllidae Family. This is what usually Latin and North American people think when I talk with them about “cricket”. I want to clarify this misconception. We are not insect fanatic Nation. WE ARE NOT… Sigh!!!!!!!
We shout…We slang…We criticize when
Owned by few eminent personalities, auction of Cricket players, Negligence of Playing for nation are enough to support my perspective. I believe Cricket is not just a source of entertainment but much more than that. The negligence of other sports and not getting the much deserved attention to regional cricket is certainly not good for future of this great nation ... That is the real jeopardy. I feel lot can be done for regional cricket instead of just making cricket a means of earning money and entertainment.
Period!!

players and the viewing public are, at the end of the day just pawns in the entire game.people are minting the greens at our expense...

neways, we jus gotta enjoy the game n leave it at tat.. cos,if we think further, we're in for some trouble!

Cricket I believe has evolved over the years in India. I think the current IPL is an attempt to break away from the traditional drivers of regional and national pride and look at the game purely for itself. However we are still far away from the way the English Premier leageue happens or the way games like baseball and basketball in the US hold the capability of polarizing people. I think we're a good 5-10 years from when we will be cheering for a 'Mumbai Indians' or a 'Kolkata Knight Riders' with the same zeal & vigour that we cheer for India in the world cup. Till then, it's just entertainment and I personally don't care who wins or loses... :-)

Enigma, do drop in your email ID at authors@angryindian.com if you're interested in writing on these issues. Do write in something more about you as well.

As far as anger goes, I believe homo-sapiens as a species do have this trait and it won't go away. As long as we channel it the right way, we should be good to go. Some people do yoga, I write.. :-)

Er..if thats all your prob is (Mumbai Indians calling themselves "Indians".)..well thats narrow mindedness (no pun intended)..
Even we buy foreign brand clothes..but we don't become "Foreign" by that..if those outsiders are being AUCTIONED and playin for another country with their heart and soul..then who're you and I to critisize them?
