Boxing Day Cricket

Cricket is one of the main sports in India. Even though hockey is the national game in India, it is an accepted fact that Cricket is far more popular than hockey. India is the country where cricketers are loved to the extent that they are sometimes called god and in some places even worshipped. The year 2011 was a glorious year for the Indian Cricket team as the team won the Cricket World Cup again after twenty eight years. Nothing better could have happened to the Indian cricket team or for the Indian cricket fans all around the world.

To spear or not to spear

The only topic of conversation at the pub this weekend was the Rugby Union World Cup – and more specifically Wales'tragic exit from the competition at the hands of the French. It’s hardly surprising that our neighbours from across The Channel were seen as the villains for beating the plucky Welsh, but it didn’t help that they won in such controversial circumstances, beating one of the best Wales teams for many years. A Wales team that some people had even dared to believe might win the whole tournament.

F1 Racing In India – A Momentous Development In The History Of The Sport

Those who follow motor sports and F1 racing have a wonderful opportunity to be a part of something historic. F1 racing will officially enter the second most populous nation in the world - India. October 30 is the race day for the Indian Grand Prix race. The racetrack has come up near the capital of the country and is considered to be one of the best tracks in the world as far as infrastructure and design is concerned.

Of course, what really matters is the quality of driving on the race day. However, the initial developments seem to be very positive. The sport is considered a niche attraction in the country. Cricket is the most popular sport in the country. This has led to a vicious cycle where cricket garners bulk of sponsorship which in turn helps reaffirm the status of the game.

However, there is a popular view that F1 racing may just be the thing to topple cricket off its perch. It has a huge following amongst the youngsters of the country. It has all the elements that appeals to the masses - speed, thrills, technique and lots of glamour.

It may take time but chances of corporate organizations shifting part of the sponsorship fund from cricket to F1 racing is considered to be very high. Of course, the average enthusiast is not bothered about the overall condition of the sport and is more interested in having a good race. Considering the close competition between the top drivers in the circuit and considering the presence of Michael Schumacher, one can only hope for a very grand race on October 30.

Those who love playing racing games on their gaming consoles using the latest R4 memory cards would do well to keep it aside for a while because Oct 30 is going to be the real thing in India.
