Cricketics Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Some resolutions displayed on The Hindu... its pretty good, just chk it out.. 1. Let us resolve that we will not burn effigies and paint players' names on donkeys should India lose a crucial contest in the Caribbean. More than the insult meant to the players, donkeys, blissfully unaware of a trivial pursuit over which we expend passions like gamblers part with Casino chips in Las Vegas, deserve to be left alone. 2. Let us resolve that we will not abuse the national flag, dragging it across spilt spirits and soft drinks and eatables as we celebrate a `famous' Indian victory. Some things in life are too sacred for even cricket to be allowed to pull down from the pedestal. 3. Let us resolve that we will not elevate ? apeing the tacky TV tripe peddled by sportscasters ? the latest match-winning century by an Indian batsman into `the greatest ODI hundred ever made.' Even a cursory knowledge of history will be enough to realise that there were, indeed, a few in the past who could do a bit with the bat in World Cups. Ever heard of Viv Richards? for the remaining 7 resolutions go to...http://www.hindu.com/2007/03/08/stories/2007030809112200.htm Link to comment

Chandan Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Re: Some resolutions Some are good but some aren't. For example I don't think it is going to be the most boring WC. No one is forcing us to watch the games played by Minnows. Link to comment
