Similarities and differences between US Basketball team team at Olympics and India's cricket team

[rising]

I think cricket is India are doing fine  I don't want India to dominate the way US does basketball, I would even more happier it goes football  way with so many countries you never sure which one can win , if cricket goes basketball   way we probably need playing IPL most of the year

 

What I would love India to become is competitive in other sports

We haven't produced a single atg fast bowler in 80 years, how are you comparing us to US? 

They are way more genetically gifted, and have produced legendary players. 

We aren't even amongst the top 3 in terms of producing atg talents. 

 

Please don't expect us to rule Cricket just bcoz of population, we aren't genetically gifted. 

Lol at not genetically gifted. Out of all commonwealth countries, indiand dominated in most physical sports like wrestling, weight lifting etc. 

 

Indians have plenty of gifted athletes. Just not the resources, access to nutrition etc.

I think genetics can be overcome with scientific training and a rigorous system.

 

Look no further than China, not really gifted genetically like India, but they have come a long way in track and field and other physical sports dominated by Europeans. 

Dude india have plenty of people with good genetics. Go to the village side and you will see yourself. 

 

People are confusing lack of diet, resources and sporting culture for genetics. SMH.

Just an excuse for hard work. Face it. Most parents don't encourage sports. That's the truth in India. Most don't have access to any amenities. Not to mention corruption.

You require gym and training, not genetics for wrestling and weight lifting.

African-Americans are genetically superior. Those blacks. They have those fast muscle fibers more than us. Even in cricket, they are naturally stronger and bigger than us. Our average men height is 5 foot 4 while US and Europeans 5 foot 9-10 plus. It's a disadvantage from the beginning difficult to offset.

Lol no. Population is way larger in India. So overall there will be more taller people to choose from. I don't know where people fabricate these stats from but just go to your average high school and you will see plenty of 6 foot plus kids. 

 

Modern generation Indians are way taller.

 

And no african Americans are not genetically superior. They just have the privilege to play sports from a young age. They have better sports culture. 

 

From asia, Indians probably have the best genes for strength and power based sports.

To add to your point  africans like kenyans have had historically poor diet but run long distances from toddler age. As a result no one csn ever beat them in marathons, they have unlimited stamina

ICC is pushing for Cricket into LA 2028..  Lolli will be long gone by then. 

India would have a decent chance under the Captaincy of Rishabh Pant

India GBR final..  & Poyzz will perhaps fetch a bronze

Nah.. BD is quite far away atm.  Their golden generation will be long gone & young players don't look anything special. 

Actually I think cricket will go football way in Olympics with only U23 players allowed. 

Afghan uncles thanks to age fudging may also do well.  Pakistan may also do jhol there.
