It seems quite evident that we in India do not have too much to cheer about and can hardly look up to anyone for inspiration. Why else would so many in India get delirious when our cricketers win what is termed as a World Cup with ONLY 14 Countries participating? Also, it was evident that the cricketers of at least 4 of those fourteen nations were not able to hold the bat properly. The amount of money that is being "WASTED" on these so called sportsmen makes my head spin. In a country where so many are not able to have even one square meal a day, to think that crores of rupees are being poured into the lap of cricketers who already have so much is scandalous and disgraceful to say the least. Mukesk Ambani is reported to have spent five crores on tickets for the finals and yet the same Mukesh Ambani was not able to even meet Warren Buffet and Bill Gates when invited to be generous.
I must admit that like the prophets of old I believe that the sins of all of these will catch up with them and they will have to answer for their scandalous actions to a God of the poor.
We agree with you about the wastage of money on the cricketers who already have abundant;it surely saddens us to see our millions of starving people, who cannot even be provided with decent amenities and a square meal. Not a single cricketer has offered to give some part of the prize money to our oppressed. Our country should be ashamed of this.
