The match lost to India is too much to digest by any Pakistani. Once it was reported in the news that one roadside vendor in Pakistan commented that "we dont mind losing against any other country but not India". It just confirms that Pakis are all enemies of India. They cant take cricket as a game. But it is always fair game, approach and finally the better team wins. Above all, what all these people gain by burning their TV sets? It shows their mental make up and approach to the game.
NEither ICC nor nor World media call that, its we people who are keep chanting this. This is the world cup, which comes in every 4 years.
ICC is promoting T20 cricket,which is good for minnows to take part. And, for that ICC arranging World T20 (the biggest tournament in T20), but never it mentioned as World cup. And, world media do not cover World T20, where Cricket World Cup (which is the 3rd biggst sporting event after Football world cup and Olympics) covers many countries, and show live matches in cable channels nearly in 100 countries...
Last match between Ind vs Pak, is estimated to be watched by 1 billion plus, which is just second to last year's FIFA world cup final.
The winners are all gong-ho with their celebratory chest-thumping, while the disappointed losers are venting their anger by thrashing their television sets in the streets...childishness!

Billions of people tie their emotions, pride and passion with the performance of 11 players on the field on a single day, to forget the fact that they are low achievers in real Life. Whereas no such passion exists between England and Australia or in other Western countries where people are more focused on their achievements and performance and not about what 11 people are doing in a single day. Second problem is nobody has real passion for sports in their daily Life. No real gym or athletics or marathons or other sports like hockey etc. Just chit-chatting ...

Bullshit. I am sure you have never ever stepped outside your home in the Indian subcontinent. It is only that millions (unfortunately they dont have a billion population) are glued to UEFA and world cup soccer in western countries as much as Indians are tied to cricket. It is matter of discussion between them for days and even office presentations.
