I believe cricket matches are scripted {like WWE}.  To keep its charm alive?

It is possible. At certain occasion some channels like Sony, Zee give us a link to watch live cricket.

Pro wrestling is scripted. They know who will win the match and how but I think in between they have to go with the flow. Maybe they schedule one or two big moves but they can't have an entire match scripted. Though it is scripted make no mistake that they still train and go through a lot of pain for the fans(and their paychecks).

I think you are trying to convey " our Indian team must perform". Sorry dear, this may not be the solution for your thought. Without a view how people will evaluate and watch our teams performance. \n\nTelecasting is just for ENJOY the game at home !!!!!!!! Win or loss doesn't make any difference for a true cricket lover.\n\nThere are many other ways how our team can do better !!!!

I'm not just talking abt the pak cricket..They are good indeed ..very competitive(I'm really afraid of Inzi,ofcourse)..But winning  taking advantages of the unique features of this season(I heard Imran khan once stressing on that point)..leaving the visitors astonished(they don't know what at all happened) You could even see it when england came there..Now you look to forth coming India-England series,that one's gonna be a fair competition..\nPak cricket is good, I agree.. but the strategies they take do irritate.. Pak board too play quite a lot for them..

No, it's choreographed.  Although there are times when the blood is real, and so are the deaths.  The wrestlers are really athletic, and if they make a small mistake, it could be extremely painful and sad.

All of the answers are correct.  The physical contact are all real, but there's a predetermined winner.  In other words, scripted.  I myself is a WWE fan, but I watch for the sake of entertainment.  That's it.  \n\nYou might wanna read the infamous Montreal Screwjob, where WWE chairman Vince McMahon literally changed the outcome of the match between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels in what would've been the biggest controversy in pro-wrestling.  This for sure that all results are predetermined and thus having a storyline for each character.  It just happened that McMahon changed the predicted outcome that led to an almost boycott of Monday Night RAW by some superstars the day after.

It's fake.  But sooooo much fun to watch.  and r.d. are you talking about Sid Vicious and his leg snapping during a match?  That was sooo gross to see, and yet strangely exciting!

Even the actors in the matches admit it is fake.\n\nYou still have to be physically fit to participate.

how silly you are asking this question. Cricket is our life & football is our breath.

I dunno... betting n stuff will go on everywhere unless u do something really fantastic, i honestly can't imagine what!! but fact remains that participating in fixing matches may not really appeal to today's cricketer, especially when he's raking in more moolah in a single match than what some people manage to make in 15 years...

I only like WWE. It may be fake but it is really entertaining!

Why? Because it is scripted in advance and will lead to a big comeback show on pay-per-view.

DD HAS BEEN DENIED THE TELECAST THROUGH A COURT VERDICT.\n\nSO.. NO CHANCES ARE THERE IN CITY TO VIEW THE MATCH.\n\nBUT I THINK THE MATCH WILL BE WORTH TO PAY.

We cannot compare football with cricket both are different games, as so many cricket players not intrested in  playing too much cricket, it is better to reduce the no.of matches. Personally i believe it will helps international cricket or else people will not respond very much for every match.

NO.\nCRICKET WILL LOOSE ITS ATTRACTION SOON.\n\nPEOPLE WILL FIND THE CHEATS AND FIXING MADE BY ICC ITSELF.\n\nAFTER THAT IT WILL BE RATED AS 'WWE'.
