Why will Cricket be never on the Olympic Games ?

[ajithfederer]

I still like to watch football and watch it. Naan pr level opposite illa./Almost all wc games(brazil and other biggies) and euros i have watched from 96 - 2004 and parts of 2008. 2012 laam paakalai naane othukaren and i will watch next wc also. But nyaayam onnu irukilla

What's the incentive for a non enthusiast to follow this sport?.

"Non-enthusiasts" - a minuscule minority, vandha enna varaatti enna?

Of course, physical kasamusa will be possible/more in football because of its nature. It's a physical sport. Cricket la Gilchrist azhuguni appeal, Ponting appealing for a grounded catch, Shakoor Rana, idhellaam illaiya? Inga John Terry hearing, anga Maa Kii hearing. The point is not it is greater in cricket (obviously!). The point is cricket-laye irukke.
So, you shouldn't be quoting and questioning based on bongugal in football
BTW, Zidane was sent off (fortunately )

idhellam naan maruthu pesave illa.

Take our mutual liking sport tennis idhula edhavadhu onnu nadakka mudiyuma?. Cricket-la you get stricter punishments also. For eg pak 3 players banned for m.fixin etc etc.. Aana football -la andha madhiri nadakaradhu illa adhai solla varen. At-least en arivukku.

W/o Zidane headbutt, the match was going to penalties. No effect on result.

Holland strong tackle, the match was not going to be decided by that red card, in fact, Holland would have played even more defensive, so in the end, it favored Spain.

w/o Thierry henry handball, it would have gone on to penalties any way. France were on top for 10-15 minutes, Dunne, Given everyone stopped playing, always play for the whistle. Indha madhiri errors'lam cost you, hence why the Sport is what it is.

Cricket is for fat obese body, deluding it to have used their mind for what is essentially a static sport with discrete variables and sleep inducing dead time in between to make up for their slowness. Most of the team are left to contemplate meaning of existence, life and death, no wonder old people love it.

Messi has no 6 pack and he is no Robot either. I am second guessing why Cricket exists at all. not that Abdv or gayle play this sport. Also, is it even a sport. Not recognized as such, it's a charade for slow folks.

Natural athletes with pure aesthetic game will only exist in proper sports. M Jordan's, Federer's and Zidane's.
Fraction of a second then minutes of rest, fraction of a second then minutes of rest, rinse, repeat.

Think I'd pass and take proper sports where they play more, not spend more dead time in rituals and routine to play, and in a ever changing labyrinth where you continually engage in problem solving, where every fraction of second, every move, space, time and conciousness in a dynamic continuum. Like a 3 dimensional graph, not bar charts. No thank you.

I still wonder why they even request for 'rest' these Cricketers, they'd do that for most of the game.

White on whites, kerchief pinned to the hip, spitting and cleaning the ball, chucking it like a limp, Take shelter when it drizzles down, Drinks, Tea and lunch, and many other associated oddities combined with Duckworth and Lewis, Hawkeye, etc makes it a queer lazy ass sport ever known to Man kind. More of a charade as I said before.

You don't have to be Western to love Western Classical Meesik.

More partisanship and hypothetical re-imagining, making it seem like there's nothing inherently good about Cricket as is.

Find angles through a circular pin chart with a hand controlled blade of wood isn't quite elitist, no amount of partisanship would mask the elite posturing, it's not quite a continual space-time orchestration of XI vs XI on chalkboard..

A balance of physique and technique, matched with ever changing tactical choices = Sport.

I find it all very compromised in Cricket to consider it a Sport.

The End.

Mazha vandha odane Odi poi olinjikkara andha idhu. This is the worsssessstu thing eva!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean i know that's just the nature of the game/soozhal. Vlaada mudiyaadhu but net result it's just extremely irritating

I agree, cheating exists in Football. It does in Basketball. It even does in Tennis to a sumall extent.

That it does or does not in Cricket, doesn't matter to me. It's a charade. A boring one at that.

Grouch, yam much more perturbed by the new found following the club/world cup football seems to enjoy amongst youths in India..we really don't have a tradition nor we ever been any good in playing it so never understood the fuss in following it

Yeah and if you ask them, it seems they start following a particular club after carefully analysing their reputation 100 year history etc etc. And they even go to the extent of buying team gear etc. Hilarious whichever way you look at it

Liking a single player or a set of players is one thing (appO vENaa beety etc paththi pEsalaam) but blindly following a club, no matter whoever plays, semma comedy saar neenga
