Cricket will never spread simply because objectively it is a poor game cause it is a turn-based conditions dependent game where luck/toss becomes a factor. I enjoy it a lot but again I enjoy it because it is one of the sports India is good at.

 

I have begun watching hockey and badminton since we have started doing well and those are objectively better sports. Also no Bangladesh-Pakistan types there. It genuinely feels good when you are competing against Netherlands, Germany etc in hockey and Korea, Japan, China etc in badminton.

 

As India keeps becoming better at other sports, I expect interest and popularity to blossom as well.

Those Dutch and Germans are some great athletes. So are Aussies and Brits.

 

Why when India does beat Pakistan everyone celebrates is beyond me. They are trash sporting country/culture. Beating them means nothing.

Naah, conditions matter.

 

1983/2011 we were on the right side. This time on the opposite side.

Conditions matter but India has the lineup to put 300 on the board.

[mishra]

 No shame in lossing to a better team on the day.

Aussies have won 6 world Cups. they are great side. I accept it. But I also think our Boyz are brilliant and future is bright.

 

Absolutely proud of our boyz

SL may have beaten Aus chasing. That wasn't that good an Aus side. Plus SL batting was in form. Also were doing ok in the group match before it was abandoned.

 

Now that I think about it, even 96 final had dew lol. 96, 11, 23 all dew affected. 87 no dew cause day match.

 

WC KOs in Asia should be day matches.

Dew definitely had an impact in 96. Ranatunga may elected to field because of that i think?

As far as i know dew hasn't been a factor in any big finals in Sri Lanka i think.. I'm not sure though. Back when Dhoni chose to field in that WC final every SL fans i know of did a mild celebration. Most of us thought it was a dumb decision and the only viable explanation offered was that Indians felt safer at chasing.  Not a lot of people here were aware of dew having that much of an influence in matches.  I was a bit of an ignorant but die-hard fan then lol

I wish I can find a filter on social media wesbites to hide all the cringe and wannabe Indian cricket fans who are making reels with sad faces and how they are sad and hurt while sitting  road side or those making reels on their kids crying etc after the defeat. 

 

Typical Bollywood cringe level wannabe fans. They don’t know anything about cricket, only watch movies, haven’t seen Rohit or Kohli ever score even a 50 but are feeling sad for the two in a video reel for the views, and come out with these posts about Indian cricket when India loses a big world cup game. 

 

This. Exactly, all these people abusing the players would never have played any sport  in real-life. No sportsman worth his salt will deliberately play to lose. Either they get outplayed by a better team on that day or they are lacking in ability. No team that beat all other teams before the final can’t be lacing in ability, just it happens things didn’t go their way. 

[Vilander]

Great performance from the team. Final loss was un believable for a team like them. 

 

Any ways following this WC with this site was awesome, till we see again..

Proud of the way Team India played @Mariyam
Like Ticz  @Cricketics says somewhat accustomed to the big final/semi losses since 2013.

 

One thing that hurts is how many years! is it gonna take to build a team at peak performance and skills like this - Rohit, kohli, bumrah, shami, jadu(fielding/bowling).
But brilliant campaign by Team Ind and they are the best team of WC23 despite not being title winners (and that does hurt yes).

Well done Rohit - super leadership and well done team

PS:

And yes - make them Day Matches, 11.00 am IST start - rather than D/N like folks here say.
So crappy that bcci/icc let dew factor affect important outcomes.

Saying India did well is really the root of the problem.

Its the Dravid Mentality of accepting mediocrity.

 

To be honest supporters like yourself are the reason why India is ok with failing.

Wow!

 

Casual fans are responsible for the India being okay with failing?

 

Way to shift blame!

 

First off, I don't even watch much cricket.

Secondly, why are we assuming that India is okay failing? We were not good enough till this WC. In this WC we were good, yet fell short.

There is a huge difference failing and being okay with failing. Surely its a distinction that you can draw.

 

Also @Khota @LordPrabhzy theory of milestones/ player worship doesn't stand scrutiny.

Winning a WC or playing a winning knock in a WC final will get you more adulation from the fans and they will worship you more. Winning the WC is also a milestone.

So to think that they didn't want to win is plain ugggh.

 

Never thought I'd read that me ( or others here) are the reason the Indian team is failing.

Whatever most of them do is purely for attention, they attended the match not to watch it but just to post about it on SM.

If you open countless threads ranting on what's wrong with the Indian team, BCCI or some expert selector will read it and they will fix the team. Didn't you know that by now? No more of "Well Done!" "Buck up!" "Better Luck Next time!" "Good game!" kind of threads. Such threads are what causing this team to be mediocre. It's time for Tough Love!!!

Nah, you post on a cricket forum and discuss the finer points of the game so you definitely go to watch the game & not just post about it on SM.

That is the biggest part of the cultural problem. I don't know what all sports you follow but in no other sport individual milestones are celebrated so much.

 

I never said they did not want to win. I am saying is Dravid did not prepare them adequately.

 

I can draw lot of distinctions but flying a white flag is the most disturbing one.
