I have never expected such a wonderful performance by team India in the elite Champions Trophy this year in Melbourne.Indis topped their group after league matches even after conceding a 2-3 defeat against the Olympic champions Germany.But India defeated England and Newzealand in two consecutive encounters.Then they thrashed Belgium to enter the semifinals.Today they lost against Australia and failed to make it to the final.This was expected.But this was the first time India after 2004 when India entered the semifinals.It's really a morale boosting performance.

It was amazing.With a better luck who knows they might get an olympics medal the next time.

Hockey lacks encouragement.Coverage both in print and electronic media is reserved for cricket and cricketers.They are awarded coverage even when they concede a shameful defeat.Cricket has money that hockey does not have.Cricketers go on getting rich and richer.Cricket has eclipsed not only hockey,but also all other games and sports.
