Unfortunately I could not attend this match since all the tickets were sold out :(<BR/><BR/>I have never seen a game like that in south africa ever, and I just want to say that i am proud to be indian, not that I am not on any other day :)<BR/><BR/>PS. and proud to be a guju too :)Bellanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365538972650430145.post-37553121187298141752007-09-26T13:22:24.278-05:002007-09-26T13:22:24.278-05:00--- i was watching the documentary on Discovery or TLC the other day a<BR/>athlets in CHINA --- regardless of what they make , they have to pay 50 % of net earnings to help the sports byiteself...they had 10% going to province , 20 % to chinese govt to promote sports and 10% goes to the coatch and teammates......<BR/><BR/>just something to think about !!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365538972650430145.post-30847789069165817552007-09-26T12:51:21.720-05:002007-09-26T12:51:21.720-05:00Saritha, thanks for the link....<BR/>I sympathise greatly with all the non-cricketers.I personally love cricket, and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the match.....the guys r getting fantastic sops by bcci , thats fine cos its being given by one of the richest org in india(tho i believe bcci is doing all this just to prevent them from joining icl). Sahara is giving them a flat each.(piyush ko to lottery lag gayi!baithe baithe!)But the state governments also doling out money is unfair esp since they didnt give one penny to the hockey players.<BR/>My husband and I met an Indian hockey player a few years ago, ahd he was telling us about the abysmal conditions they have to play in....they travel by 3 class in trains, live in very budget hotels etc(i dont know if the situation has improved in the last few years).<BR/>Even they put in their best to play...so if the Government wants to spend money on cricket , then why not on other sports as well?<BR/>It was shocking when the Karnataka CM said 'let them win the world cup, then we will give them also'.Then I am sure he was criticised, so he suddenly came out sheepishly and said that 'since the hockey players have won the Nehru Cup, they get 2 lakhs each".<BR/>I hope 'Chak de'helps hockey and other sports get a boost.Suneil Shetty, where r u?
