Have you ever analyzed as to which
game consumes more of the valuable time of the ordinary people than any other in the
poor countries?
Can you name a game which makes people lazy and slothful?
Can you name a sport which is doing the greatest harm to those who
watch?
We all need entertainment when we get tired.
We all want relaxation after hard work.
But can you think about a game which is a like a way of life, a 24-hour-craze all round the year?
Can you identify anything in the world which robs people of their imitative, and their
strength to go after great goals?

Every day there is a cricket match and there is one TV or other showing the thing round the clock.
My god, what is this?
Well, who benefits?
Of course the players, the umpires, the
coaches and the

There are only a couple of countries who play test matches. Pakistan, India, Sri-Lanka, Bangladesh, West Indies, UK, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Kenya, just a handful my be ten may be twelve.

They go on playing in various permutations and combinations! The same thing, the same players. May be the setting is slightly different. But the gist is the same. Don’t people get bored? Further, what about the cost ?
Those who go to watch a match ( world cup of course, there are many such matches)
Have to pay a lot to see just one game. And millions go for it. The players,
Coaches, and the organizers are billionaires ate the expense of the poor followers!
