The way Indian T20 Cricket Team was welcomed n the way in which the players were rewarded was just disturbing.It was definitely bad from the point of view of other players who do not play cricket.Specially,Hockey which is our National Game,the players were not dat much rewarded for their win as the Indian Cricket team enjoyed.Wht u say was it right?Is the passion of Cricket soo much dat we r forgetting other games???

Yes, the indian team's middle name is "all hype and no play". The win of t20 was hyped so much that it had come and closed their eyes when playing against australians. It is us who should be blamed for this, as we are ones who make them kings on one day when they win and treat them as enemy number one's when they lose. I feel that we should treat the game as just another game rather than taking it into our hearts.

i dont feel that it is right to give much importance to the t20 win in south africa.bcoz india has proved thier lack of consistency again in 50 over game by loosing to australia in the one day series.and the rewards offered to them after the T20 triumph has distracted them from the real game and i feel that whatever the game may be the skill must be recognizwd and rewarded.

well i dnt think so. what ever happens we hype it up so much that its a mess. if you see every time before the wrodl cup we dance so much that this time we will win and so on. this time for T20 no one was so much interested as the three oldies were not paying so all thought that we cannot do much and not to foget the patetic performance in world cup matches. so there was not much pressure in the team and they played so well.
