Yeah I wonder why illegal Indians who earn low wages don't medal up in Western countries. 

 

Rich or poor we are no good at sports.

We are still the nation with second most trophies in cricket, Aus 10, India 6, 

Problem is not the trophies we won. But ICC Finals we lost : 7 ( CT 2001, WC 2003, WT20 2014, CT 2017, WTC 2021 , WTC 2023 ,WC 2023). And the scary thing is the last 5 losses were all from the years when all cricketers had become millionaires.. Vishwanathan Anand won 5 world titles. He was clutch. He only lost to one in a million Carlsen at the end of his career..

yes, but we lost most to Aussies, an already developed country. A lot of those finals were player by players who grew up in a previous era. We are going to win more and more from now particularly with our current generation who grew up when BCCI was rich and powerful 

 

we can already see the confidence change in women's cricket post WPL started.

  SANDEEP INTO THE 9s AGAIN

  Sandeep shoots a 9.9 in the last shot of the second series. 38th.

• July 28, 2024 15:09

  BABUTA 7TH

  Babuta just manages to hold on to a top-eight place despite a dull 104.9 in the second series.

[Gollum]

Kuch bhi bolo, at least we have something to look forward to every single day, with 120 participants. 

 

Spare a thought for other South Asian sports fans with zero representation, where their best haven't come close to qualifying, a few spots for them out of pity by IOC.

Did Bangladesh have a boat in the opening ceremony? I missed if there was one, has any of then qualified? 

Pak has arshad nadeem who has a shot at a medal. What about SL? 

[Vickydev]

They all have 5-6 athletes, but very few qualified on merit, Arshad made it on merit, no bheek.
