Cricwala Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 2 hours ago, rollingstoned said: most of the indian cricketing fandom care only about pyjama and white ball cricket even if it may be dodgy and just a money laundering front. it;s like going to a 3hr movie at the multiplex for them where you can forget your life and take selfies. it's another thing that the fandom is big enough that there are enough 'purist' nerds among them who will also move the needle which is why test matches in metros in india are often full and the media will scrutinise a bad away series defeat like the one we just suffered. You are right, pressure to excel will never come from fans, most of whom really don't understand the game but are hooked as cricket is one game where we are world-beaters (in home conditions) and because the game has been packaged well as an entertainment product especially with IPL. Drive to excel must come from player and administrative body...that's where nerdy fans like us need to focus energies. Ruthlessly pillory the time-servers & yes-men like Shastri, hope we hv more enlightened administrators like Dalmiya. I think our dilemma has some parallel with UK soccer, where an obsessive fan base treats a mediocre team with over the top adulation, and players fail to develop the game or mental toughness required to consistently succeed.
