We often talk about cricket like an english man. It is the most popular game in today's world. But if you analyze the game, u will find interesting conclusions. It is the only game which is not played by the player itself. Sometimes it is played by Sponsors and sometimes by Satta Bajari. More interestingly, if u closely watch the techniques applied by the players, you will feel that, either the very objective of the game has been shifted or they are playing for their personal achievements. See the example of today's match, where the bowling of Australian Brett Lee seemed to be not meant for heating the wicket but the batsman and ultimately he killed Birendra Sawagh. While cricket was composed, the main aim of the bowling was to defeat the batsman and get the wicket down by heating it. But the objective has been changed now a days, you may through ups and down, wide and no, but you should get the wicket otherwise than heating the wicket. The players also lost their team spirit, they rather play for getting more and more advertisements.
So I am very sorry to say that, the very ambition of cricket has been deviated.
