OK , last time i have written about my love for football . Today i will write about the importance of cricket in my life .
Like football , also cricket has always been followed in our house by my grandfather and my dad . So naturally, i started to take interest in the game from a very young age .
This game is known for its association with the CLASS ( quite different from the 'MASS assotiation' i. e. bodily contact of football ) . In cricket , the players are so smart , and the game has a soothing power in it ( because of the time alloted for fielding and for the bowler to walk back , and above all the break between 2 overs ) . I mean it is so different from fast- pace of football , where the game changes in every moment , it keeps you glued with your seat . Here i have not planned to compare the two games , but my last post was about football , so those points are still there in my mind .
I had some favourite players in cricket too --SACHIN TENDULKAR , ANIL KUMBLE , SOURAV GANGULY , HANSE CRONJE , JHONTY RHODES , KEPLAR WESSELS , ROSHAN MAHANAMA ...and many more i guess, i cannot remember all the names right now .
10-25 years back i really loved cricket . But when i came to know about the BETTING episode -- from then onwards , i lost my interest in the game . Now a days i watch the game , follow the news in the newspaper/television , but never feel that-much invovement with the game as the same in the past .
Why i took such a long gap to post a new topic here ? Because all these days i was busy with a discussion in my social -networking site . And believe me , that was a serious debate and has been a learning experience for me .
With best wishes
