Why do young indians hate cricket nowadays?
Cricket has been at the centre of sports in India for a long time due to many reasons such as lack of participation in various sports or success of the nation in other sports.If u remember the good old days, all you got on TV was cricket.But everything's changed now you can watch any sport,anytime. Participation, more importantly winning in any sport by our fellow nationalists is a must for us to even know about the sport.(Not many people knew about F1 until Force India was a part of it)The decline in the number of cricket followers maybe due to the following reasons:Lack of time: If one has to watch a ODI match in which your favourite team is playing you have to spend a whole day in front of your TV.But it's not the case in other sports.Lack of suspense: The result of many matches are predictable even before the match begins. Even if the teams are head to head the result can be predicted way before the match ends.Only few matches can hold suspense till the end.Lack of breaks: Their will be atleast 1 match on any given day, much more if you consider all the leagues in which most the internationally renowned players play.Too much of any thing is always bad.Other sports gaining followers: Football is at the forefront in stealing cricket fans. It's short(90–100)minutes. Also leagues like ISL have played a great part in increasing interest in the youth.But cricket is here to stay for atleast few more decades. So for all the hardcore cricket fans,their is no need to panic.
IPL is good or bad for indian youth?
INDIAN YOUTH, are perhaps the most crux samples, on which almost every experiment is carried out. the success behind every new show, clearly speaking reality shows, IPL, door to bollywood, etc are the youths. all these big names together have one sole success mantra, i:e anyhow to augment as many group of youth attention, either by publicity stunt, limelight, fake promising career etc. IPL is not an exception to this. at one side it promises the BRIGHTENING FUTURE of INDIAN CRICKET TEAM, on the other hand, there is a stalking melodrama going on. at the backstage, there is a huge filthy game of money going. prime objective being to entertain people and acquire their own sum of money in return. there can't be a better wrecking drama than this. to snatch the bread from one, and throw in front of 4 to fight for it, and in return, ask for what u want. poor side of INDIAN POLITICS....
Do you think Sreesanth should get a new chance to play cricket?
This is a fantastic question and right in time.As a young kid I loved Sreesanth, I really did. There was something about him, maybe his emotional game play or funny antics, I don’t know. But, wasn’t he an excellent swing bowler.When someone talked about Sreesanth in my childhood:-He used to make me laugh as a kid. But boy, he was tough. He never cared about who the batsman was, what people would call him, he had his ways and enjoyed it. I used to feel he was original.From the above pictures you can make out that he played true to his heart, for the game, for the country. At least, I used to believe so. I always saw him as an Indian counter part of Shoaib Akhtar. A passionate idiot.But then this happened:-I could have digested the fact that Sreesanth was caught using steroids, but, never did I think Fixing could be stuck to his name. I was shocked. He was on his way to making a comeback into International Cricket, had he done well. He had a good domestic season the year. He also got Sachin’s wicket during a domestic game(remember watching the match).Ever since then, I have never been able to believe a match completely. Especially the IPL.He was never my childhood hero, but I used to like watching him play.About all the drama :-We as spectators don’t know what’s happening. The best that we know is from media coverage concentrated on their ratings. So, to make a judgment would mean an attempt for my rating in Quora.But, this is something I believe. If he is innocent, he can play. If he isn’t, no matter who he was and how much he loved the game, he shouldn’t play.BCCI has taken it’s stand and I don’t think it’s going to change anytime soon. We as spectators will be spectators to this drama, I guess. The only person changing roles seems to be Sreesanth. But, yes, he made me laugh.Never a chance, if he fixed it.
DEBATE on who is the greatest Indian captain ever:Dhoni or Ganguly?
MBIOF I easily have answer to all your questions. 1.Why ganguly failed to win world cups? Lol ,in how many world cups did Dhoni captain?answer is 5 so far.And in how many world cups did ganguly lead the team as captain?answer is only 1 & he took the team to finals in that after 20 long years,& as I said that World Cup was in RSA(not favourable conditions for India). 2.Why ganguly failed to make India no.1 in tests & ODIs? Again u can read this in answers of class of jaguar or desiboy,India were #8 when ganguly became captain,he took them till #2.When Dhoni becomes captain India were already #2,he takes them till #1 but those whitewashes against oz & eng bring them down to #5. And as far as u saying that ganguly team had great players,no that's totally false.Again read desiboy answer,dravid & Laxman had done nothing of note before he became captain(compare their average before he become captain & after he become captain),& Sachin too was in lean patch.He installed aggressive atti
Why don't Pakistani players play in IPL?
Simple answer:- because they are more trouble than they worth!Now let me explain1)Match fixing scandalsPSL was huge for Pakistan. It was like a life line to the pak cricket which is dying a slow death because of lack of international cricket. Any nationalist player would have encash the opportunity and made his own personal goal to make PSL great so that pak cricket can revive. And what Pak international players did? SPOT FIXING! Great. Now why would any team in IPL would want to risk its reputation by hiring players who are not even honest to their motherland. IPL have enough troubles already .2) Indo pak relationsThe relationship between india and pak are very volatile. Indians are no more tolerant to terrorist attacks and they want no relationship with pakistan. Liberals often say sports and politics should be seprated which is completly wrong. If your neighbor murders one of your family members, would you still send your kid to have a game of cricket with neighbors son?3) Political reasonsSome parties would go to any length to display their disdain to pak.Why would a franchise risk a cancelled match or empty stands or cost of extra security4) Cricketing reasonsTo be honest none of the current pak player except a couple would find a place in final 11 of IPL teams. IPL is the biggest domestic cricket tournament and boasts of best cricketers around the world. With the 4 slot restrictions on foreign player ,many greats of the game don't get a place in playing 11 and honestly pak players don’t even stand a chance! The only player who could make it is Aamir but with is fixing history, good luck getting an IPL contract!
