I like the way India cricket team has transformed from a distinctly urban orientation (most players were from Bombay Bangalore etc.) to an increasingly semi-urban/rural one. Love the spirit in Jogy, RP, Sree et al. Link to comment

sm332 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I like the way India cricket team has transformed from a distinctly urban orientation (most players were from Bombay Bangalore etc.) to an increasingly semi-urban/rural one. Love the spirit in Jogy' date=' RP, Sree et al.[/quote'] But I do like the fact that after a cpl of years all of them learn English and develop a level of sophistication. They do serve as brand ambassadors for India, something that is crucial. Link to comment

varun Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I was wondering.. all this cash, how does it change the mindset of the newbies ? - Will they be under more pressure next time they play a cruch game knowing that so much cash is on the line ? - Whenever they play now, will they have money and rewards in their mind before playing ? Thinking about the fruits and not doing your duty is tantamount to failure (as the famous sanskrit shloka : "karmanyeva .. etc etc" tells us) - Or do they become complacent after realizing that their lives are comfortable as it is ? I guess it boils down to the issue of commercialization, and it's advantages/disadvantages.. How do soccer players in clubs handle it ? Link to comment
