Re: Indian Sports and Entertainment Industry

If there is a team I hate more than the Paki team, it is the Aussies. I love to see them being ground to dust, even by the Pakis. I noticed how complementary the comms were to Indian players this time, but it's just because they know what side of the bread is buttered. They need to be in the IPL to ...

Re: Indian Sports and Entertainment Industry

It seems pretty clear that the Aussies were good because they changed the paradigm of the game from sheer skill/talent and added bullying, sledging, intimidation into the mix.

Re: Indian Sports and Entertainment Industry

I'm disappointed to see the West Indies wallow in the basement. As a kid of the 80s, I remember how good they were winning everything in sight. Unlike the ugly uncouth Aussies, the Windies were popular as well. It's been a steep fall for about 30 years and no signs of waking up.
