Cricket Mania

There are very few things in India which are not affected by the recent economic slowdown or recession or meltdown, occurrence of natural disasters or any man-made tragedies. They go on for ever. Other than Bollywood and Politics, one such thing is Cricket.

People here in India are just crazy about it. They might even not be knowing the names of the players playing for the national teams of other sports such as hockey, football or basketball etc. but can easily give you the full description of every cricketer playing in national team with all the brief statistics related to him. Such is the madness for the sport down here.


In our country...For some people cricket is like their religion.The cricketers are worshiped like Gods if they play well but the agony is they are also criticized a lot when they don't perform and loose matches.Strange but true.

And when the World Cup is round the corner...every person of the country awaits the fun and excitement of the Cricket World Cup.The Cricket World Cup 2011 starts from 19th February.This time the world is co-hosted by three Asian countries that are-India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

There is cricket and cricket everywhere these days.The news channels are busy taking interview's of cricketers,showing various pros and cons of the cricket team and what not; the advertisements are totally world cup targeted like"Helicopter shot-Pepsi","Lays-Cricket world cup flavours" etc...In a way cricket is on everybody's nerves these days.

Sooo..lets up that this tym the history repeats and India gets hold of the much awaited World Cup trophy for itself.
