Why will Cricket be never on the Olympic Games ?

[venkkiram]

கிரிக்கட் - விளையாட்டில் எப்போதுமே எல்லாரும் இயங்கிக் கொண்டிக்க தேவையிருக்காது. அதுவே பெரிய பலவீனம். நானேல்லாம் கிரிக்கட்டை ஒரு விளையாட்டாக மதித்து விளையாடி ஆறு வருடங்கள் ஆகிவிட்டது. ரெண்டு, மூணு மணி நேரம் விளையாடுறோம்னு தான் பேரு. ஐம்பது/அறுபது கலோரி கூட எரிய மாடீங்க்குது.

if u talk abt concentration, then the batsman in cricket shd have the most... one mistake, go back and wait until next match... wherein football u can always come back after losing concentration a bit...

Don't u think batsman are given ample amount of time for adjusting/looking around.Even though they have only fraction of seconds to react it is much better something like this.



If 1 guy goes another guy can pitch in and make the score better in cricket. But inga.. ellarume nalla adanum illana appeatu. This is more a 'team' game than the other.

11 at a time... but not necessarily the same 11... u got the luxury of playing substitutes when a person is tired or playin poorly...
team game and all - agree.

Every fraction of second is important for the entire duration of the game. You can't get away with just positional sense, you need mobility and superior reading of the game. Re.Patience. True patience is with counter-attacking in football. Because you can't relax and/or leave out all 6 balls in an over. You have to be 'IN' all the time.

Even Weather has its place. Odi poi plastic cover thalaila pOduradhu illa. It could be a problem but also a blessing in disguise.

If you play in a surface where you can't really pass (on the ground), run with the ball, or make runs fluently, you have to adjust your entire tactical setup. Your main playmaker will have to orchestrate, set the tempo of passing, go long/in the air if it's a plough field.

If it rains, passing will get better. A different temperature of passing and style of play is needed. The entire XI need to be in sync. Ball will glide through quicker for every fraction if you play a passing game. I could think of many such matches involving Arsenal, Sid might know, struggled vs Bolton and one of our players (Diaby) got sent off, so we went back 0-2, 10 men down, but as it poured, we started to increase the tempo. Switched our play with diagonal cross-field passes, favoring the more sophisticaed style of play. Came back to win 2-3. Every match is a short fiction. A Season is a long masterpiece.

Even individually, one player could not impact the entire result of the game like Football or Basketball

We have Le Bron, Xavi, complete players who decide the entire tempo, passing range, and overall play, in all 3 aspects, defensive, transition and offensive. This doesn't happen in cricket. Even Kallis, who is a major bore, doesn't impact as much. Period.
