Real Shame

December 28th 2009 in Rants

We are worrying about the commonwealth games and here is the live examples of how things work in India when it comes to sports. Yesterday’s match between India and Sri-lanka, the final of the five match series at Ferozshah Kotla, Delhi had to be abandoned due to poor cricketing conditions. The pitch failed miserably to hold a one complete day’s cricket. Sri-Lankan batsmen were forced to have some serious bruises :P They just couldn’t understand the way pitch was behaving. Dilshan really had the toughest of the time while facing Zaheer Khan.

Although the managing committee has now been suspended but that doesn’t serve the greater purpose. Next year, we are going to host commonwealth games and over 71 nations will be participating. Doesn’t the recent incident sound ominous?

Yesterday’s story has cited some real doubts on nation’s prestige. More importantly it’s the same venue: DELHI. If they can’t hold Cricket (which is no less than our national sport), then I am seriously dubious about the kind of governance, we would be showing after 10 months. Anyways, I might sound pessimistic if I keep on writing on the subject-matter. It’s just a matter of few months time and everything will come into picture.

Here’s a brief video of what had happened yesterday
