Is cricket still a sport?

Commercilisation of Cricket really hampers the spirtit of the Game. Match fixing will definitely start just to earn name and fame and offcourse MONEY!

I just don't like to talk about cricket nowadays. See what has happened to the Indian team in Australia now and see what the under 19 team is doing?? When the advts and the money starts coming to the player he loses that interest and tries to make as much money as possible. It loses his concentration in the game. See , BCCI thought Sachin was young for the Oneday team compared to Ganguly and Dravid and see what happened? What could Sachin do there? In australia, experience is needed. They should have had dravid and ganguly in the team.. Atleast they would have batted?? Don't you think so? We commercialise everything, till they got the money on their side they wouldn't bother to play at all.

You are right. Now that the players taste the blood (money) they are prepared to do anything to get more of it. It is only the viewers are are going to be fooled Unfortunately the most laziest sport gets highest revenue in this part of the world. The best we can do is to ignore this game. Can we do it. I just stopped reading about cricket, I stopped watching the play on tv.
