I am not a complete cricket lover. However, I see the game sometimes and most often through the news. I won't be able to understand what the author mean by 'true cricket'? It seems the author is quite frustrated with the game rather the issue.
I am also equally concern with the issue of hockey? But for this you don't blame the cricket, rather blame the sponsorers who don't want to invest on hockey. Thirdly, it is not the game, rather people like us have put the game in the top that pulls the sponsorers to make it more popular.
4th, the policy, there is BCCI for Cricket the autonomous body. I don't know what is the agency for hockey and how vibrant it is like BCCI.
5th, raising the status of hockey by popularising at the grassroot level and not at the higher level only. Sashikant
