hockey is teh toughest of all games..it involves, constant movement by all the playyers, come face to face and stick to stick with the opposition, get ready for body blows and stilll perform..hence, time to encourage sports like hockey, boxing, shooting,archery,football and tennis so that we could win more gold medals..

well sir, i love cricket and am myself a cricketer..if a poor student who studies well and a rich student who is average, whom will u try to support? this is what is happening in india..
if tehre is fire in teh belly, we can conquer any heights..kapils team for ex, conquered new heights consistently as every one had national feeling, were also poor and hence worked as professionals to meet their ends..todays cricketers are getting money directly to their door step and hence dont care about performing for the nation..

will the sale of toilet papers increase just becaue india is growing?we stil depend on two fingers my dear praveen..
Just go to a cricket field with almost 75000 people watching and try holding a bat to face the likes of Steyn and Morkel. Then you will know what an idiot you are being to criticize the young cricket players.
Practise what you preach. Start being more mature in your analyses and look at the pros and cons instead of forever cribbing about one thing or the other.

if they cant handle the pressure mentioned by u, then they can quit cricket and look for other jobs..ultimately, winning is what matters rather than trying to learn and adapt to pressures and lose..

bcci and tax payer's money??? bcci is not a govt / semi govt / quasi govt body; it's an autonomous instituition that pays tax to the govt. any money generated by bcci is from corporate sponsorships as well as the games it runs. so why r u so much worried abt tax payer money?

as a batsman, he can give technical adjustments in our batsmen..apart from that, killer instincts and basic instincts are there in our genes..we won the t20 WC and tri series in aus without a coach..
