Cricket fever is raging across the country... World Cup action is set to begin on Saturday, and for the next 45 days or so, people will just forget about any thing , they will simply Eat cricket...Drink Cricket and Sleep Cricket (thanx to Commerce part of the game)....
There was a time when only five days matches used to be played....
Players used to behave like gentlemen....
Ballers used to just walk a little and throw the ball to batsmen, without any rush of blood...
And appealing to tha umpire was so polite like telling...." i beg, out de do Sir ji...."
Even the spectators used to take a nap in between the overs...
So, over all it was a Gentlemen game......
But things have changed now...
Like our life style, there is too much aggressiveness involved in the game of cricket now....
Cricket is no more a gentlemen game now.....
"Ab Baller, Batsman ko is tarah ghoortaa hai jaise Chabaa jaayega"
Even the spectators can't get a nap in between, and if they do so...they are certainly going to miss the Cheer Girls....;)

Its the cricket season now.... The blogosphere already shows the cricket fever around... :)
ReplyDeleteu r right there i think..games need controversies and aggressiveness to be popular..
ReplyDeleteas far as i am concerned, i dont like watching cricket anymore, except when sachin plays..
yep..I am gonna try watching this..whole series!its goin to be fun!!
ReplyDeleteCricket is something Like it gets on edge and everyone hits the wall at last over..when equation starts!
Its a crazy crazy..gmae
God Bless..all with weak hearts!!
do not watch it.
ReplyDeleteI used to watch cricket but not anymore. I will view the scores though. I hope India wins this time......I know Cricket is different but it is not India that made it non gentlemen game..it is other countries...we are so 'gentle'
ReplyDeleteYa test cricket is loosing popularity now..so is one day cricket..all the focus is now on fatafat cricket..as far as aggression goes..it is more evident now a days because of hight quality cameras and microphones which get every detail on the field. And of course "Jo dikta hai, Wahi Bikta hai" mere dost..
ReplyDeletehmmm...enjoy this fever...

Oh, Even i was a great fan of cricket during my school days when 5 day match was the norm. I especially liked the last 20 mandatory overs which was total fun.
ReplyDeleteNow, I HATE cricket.
@Asha: even i don't like to see much of it now... bcoz after all celebrations or otherwise when u come to know that it was fixed ball to ball, then feel cheated....
ReplyDeleteeven then heart beats for India.... :)
@Irfan
ReplyDeleteI m agree with you!
Annt bhala to sab bhala :)
Aur jo aakhri baaji jeete wahi muqaddar hai :)
haina..
Hoping for the best!
Let's see..how they perform.
Cricket will always be a religion in India and one cant separate an Indian from his religion.
ReplyDeleteI remember my school-days when we used to listen commentary on Radio as it was the only mode available with us to keep updated with latest score. Mob of cricket-fans could be seen hovering around Tea-stalls, Pan-stalls whole day only to know the latest score !
ReplyDeleteMy classmates even carried small transistor into the classroom in school-bag to enable us listen commentary. Such was the craze during those days which cannot be explained in few lines.
Now everything has become Nano, five day Test Match reduced to one day………
probably this is where cricket has won, see no matter what, it makes even people write about it! And the fever is everywhere , and most of the blogs have something or the other on them.

what sir ji... still thinking about those black n white movies, every thing is colorful n vibrant these days and so is cricket.
ReplyDeleteLife is very fast now who knows after few years only toss will be done to declare the winner...ha haaa.
its not only test matches but 50 overs one day game is also on the back foot bcoz of 20-20 cricket.
ReplyDeleteits our life style, we want every thing instantaneous. who can sit for 5 days in a row to see 11 people running behind a ball and chances are more there will be a draw.
@sunidhi: you no one thing, people like me who neither belong to B&W era and nor to the present colorful one are really in problem...don't know which way to go???? hehehehe
ReplyDeleteresult from a toss... who knows that too all concerned captains n officials will be interconnected through webcams...hahaaaaaa
@rahul: 11 people running behind the ball, that too in between the rush of commercial spots....heheheh
ReplyDeleteBTW thanx for stopping by.....
