I love cricket but I'll be honest and admit that I don't know much about cricket. Oh, I know the basics, but unlike Dad, I wouldn't be able to tell you why that four wasn't good cricketing. I enjoy watching the game, like I enjoy watching football.
How many Indians really understand the game? Most of us watch the game cause India's playing.
I might not agree with everything Aaker Patel says here, but this is true: Indians, most of them atleast, love India and not the game.
Most of us will vehemently deny it but that's how we Indians are.
Part II: True enough, our commentators are horrible. Which is another reason why most of us can't tell a good shot from a bad one. Instead of providing insight into the game, we have commentators discuss celebrities and say things like, "We have two Asian teams in the finals and one Asian team will win the World Cup." Like, dude, duh?
Cricket has become more and more commercialized. Somewhere, yes, it has lost its soul to advertisers and money making companies. Let's accept that if nothing else.
I wonder if we'll ever see good cricketing after Sachin retires.
