She is pretty sober lady indeed. The way she explained Cricket along with gender comparison, requires maturity. Hats off to her.... Best of luck India.
Both are the same, it always remains a Women's game even if it is played by Men. There is no sweat,stamina and strength required to play Cricket like Soccer

Most of the countries in Europe does not even know what the game is all about and they are least interested, not even the United States play the game.

but it is a pity that the British are more interested in EPL than in County. ICC has been promoting but nobody is taking the game seriously.

Rainer, Your comment was humorous but quite inappropriate and distasteful. May be you should have logged your comments on some other forum.
1. Lady cricketer should play more like ladies and not like gents.. 2. Ladies should sport hair band with buff cut. 3. Please wear T-shirts with half sleves.. That has a girly appeal in them. It looks ankward for ladies in cricket to wear full sleeves. 4. Please do not have big boundaries like mens cricket.. Bouandaries should be restricted to 65 - 70 Square yards. 5. Have different cricket stadiums for ladies with big LCD monitors and luxurious seating capacity not exceeding 15000 and of course have evening starts as sun tan does effect ladies more than men. 6. Reduce the number of overs to 40 instead of regular 50 overs with no extra deliveries. Wides should cost 2 runs and nobes a free hit. 7. Have replacements in terms of fielders and rotation in terms of bowlers and batsmen.
Womens needs to be completely reinvented with some of the points given above. If womens tennis or badminton have their identity of their own.. We have 3 sets instead of 5 and they don't wear shorts like that of men..
So please Mr. Lalit and BCCI please reinvent as there is lots of money in it.

Althoug we'll have the most weirdest game to be played in n different formats and different approach, still your tips seems to be good, practical and worth implementing.

Quite right, friend. I'm sure this "dumbindian" MCP behaves with his mother, sister and wife in the same manner, if he has one.

Friends, this MCP is an ardent supporter of the ram sene. Couple of weeks back, in the wake of the mangalore pub attack, this guy was raving all over the place as to how women shouldn't wear jeans and be in a pub. And now he says women shouldn't play cricket. What happened? is that against our culture as well??

why do you waste your time by watching their game? and if you do not watch how can you remark that "even schoolboys play better"? better keep your dumb opinions to yourself only dumpindian. do not dump it on us.

Yes you are right, may be your father should also have not wasted his time with your mother as you are a big waste.
