I just got one thing to say to you…please read the 6th comment…then, read the post again…if you still lack the mental capacity to comprehend subtle sarcasm, let me just say you are a nitwit, lacking in intellectual acuity.
TheBestoFaeces would have been a more apt name for you.

I don’t really want to dampen your spirits par-se, but looks like you are either misled… Or plain maniac/mad.

I really fail to understand what you want to mean… If you think that praising cricket is what you were born for, you are maybe made for it… I for one, have played the game alongside some of the best… Yeah, alongside and in the same teams as your famed Robin Uthappa has played for… (Even represented Karnataka State by the way for your kind information) And I know for a fact that you are talking crap.

If you mean to say that Cricketers are paid more just because they got the world cup and perform really well, I have some uncomfortable questions for you… Do you remember that we had won major tournaments loooong back right, how is it that you don’t remember the name of the captains of those teams??? Hos is it that they were never even given Rs.50000 for winning the World Cup or even 5,ooo for the Olympics???

Do you actually know that the match fee that was paid to each Indian player in the Asia Cup win totaling was Rs.5,650??? And match it, an umpire standing in a first class match gets paid 1,500 a match… If you think that Indian Hockey players are still wrong, please come and watch them practice day in and day out… Cricket is sold better… It is marketed better… That’s about it… Nothing else. The bitches in the IHF loot all the money and how do you expect someone to make a living out of playing hockey if they are paid like that. I am talking about the ‘Indian team’ here, not a school match. I was paid Rs.800 per match by my state for under-16 matches… Match it… Would you play hockey???

By the way, I would really like to see the Tirky v/s Yuvraj match… Due respect to Yuvraj who has put in the effort and one of the actual ’sportsman’ in the cricket team, Yuvraj Singh with his bat, by the way can never even ‘chase down’ Tirky… Leave alone hitting him… By the way, in a one on one Yuvi may win… But talk of Tirky against yur famed Sachin… Or how about Len Aiyappa v/s Yuvraj… You might just want to count how many times your Yuvi gets knocked out in a minute… Interesting stuff… Kick your own arse idiot. Stop writing shit and do something if you really can… Do you even know how many great players India is losing out on just because of the lack of money in Hockey??? Len is not playing for India just because he is unable to even scratch out a living with what the federation pays them. Go blast the Hockey federation’s system and maybe you would want a bullet in their head. That would be great service to India by the way. I’d really appreciate that. Not talking all gibbish when you don’t even know the game…

Btw, countries such as South Africa, Australia and England are not just one-sport nation. In fact, cricket is the Aussies’ national sport. But then, Australian rules football is by far the most popular sport in terms of attendance and television figures. Australia continue to remain a force to reckon with in rugby, hockey…and they excel in Olympics too, with a huge medal haul… it’s not just cricket for them. Same case with South Africa…they give equal importance to all sports. Well, England is entirely different matter…they invented most sports but they never excel in any but then cricket is not as popular as football is…but then, at least media coverage is there for every sport! So, stop saying cricket rules in these countries. I would say cricket survives just because a billion Indians watch it. I doubt if cricket will make in-roads to other nations, ever!

People are passionate about cricket.
Its really a religion in this part of the world.

I feel sorry for the “poor hockey guyz”. But no one can help them. If they want to get noticed, hunger strike will not do any good,just try to raise standards. Produce results.
