Now thequestion has rose whether recent performance of the team will eventually affectthe games popularity. Have the spectators lost their restored faith in theplayers but the truth of the matter is team’s good or bad performance is notgoing to affect its popularity. The reason is simple; cricket will always standout any of sports in country. This is not more so because we people of Indialoves and admire this game so much, it is because people of this country don’t standwith many choices. Except cricket there are not many other sports in which ourcountry competes on international level.&amp;nbsp;We don’t have Rooney, if Tendulkar fails to look up to, we don’t have Cahill,if Dravids fails, to look up to. So as the result we the people of India willalways have to fall back on to this only sport. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;i&gt;As the result, how much we get agitated, irritated, angry wecannot ignore cricket. How badly the team plays, there always be hope and anticipationfrom the fans for the next day. And this hope and anticipation will lead to excitementand this excitement will lead to joy or sorrow. Joy will lead to love and appreciationwhereas; sorrow will eventually lead to anger and curse.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4712567635196835166-7092505106377970029?l=indiascall.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://indiascall.blogspot.com/feeds/7092505106377970029/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4712567635196835166&amp;postID=7092505106377970029&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4712567635196835166/posts/default/7092505106377970029'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4712567635196835166/posts/default/7092505106377970029'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://indiascall.blogspot.com/2012/01/love-or-hate-but-cant-ignore-cricket.html' title='Love or Hate But Can&apos;t Ignore Cricket'/><author><name>Vishal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02433661078706625482</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4712567635196835166.post-4859363996017237195</id><published>2012-01-06T05:40:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-06T08:11:06.579-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Time to look forward'/><title type='text'>Time to look forward</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;i style="background-color: white; color: #636363; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"&gt;Now the time has come for the Indian cricket team to look forward . Youngsters need to be given an extensive run in the team. Players like Rohit and Virat need to take up the responsibility . And the the only way out for them is they need to play in the team without the shadow of big three. And if the big three aren't able to take a decision themselves then its up to the selectors to give them farewell. Players like Tendulkar, Dravid and Laxman, after giving so much to Indian cricket, doesn't deserve rough deal, so it should be them who should make a grand exit or they too will have to go through what former captain Ganguli had to experience.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: white; color: #636363; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Still two test to go and this should be the ideal time for it. Selectors and the team management have to consider Rohit and Ajinkya even if it is with the expense of some of the big guns . Youngsters need to get the opportunity rather than sitting on the bench and warming them. And the experience cricketers can guide them sitting on the bench.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4712567635196835166-4859363996017237195?l=indiascall.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://indiascall.blogspot.com/feeds/4859363996017237195/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4712567635196835166&amp;postID=4859363996017237195&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4712567635196835166/posts/default/4859363996017237195'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4712567635196835166/posts/default/4859363996017237195'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://indiascall.blogspot.com/2012/01/time-to-look-forward.html' title='Time to look forward'/><author><name>Vishal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02433661078706625482</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry></feed>
