Unfortunately cricket is given way too much importance here. Tennis is finally picking up after the emergence of Sania Mirza. Hockey, which used to be popular is also given less importance these days. The media is partly to blame for that, since they idolise the cricketers & leave the players of others sports out...\n\nAlso, politics has crept into sports as well. Really good players might be dropped from the team, & the ones who have the influence & are thick with the selectors will find a way in...\n\nHopefully by the end of the next decade things should change (though personally I don't see it happen), & India atleast qualifies for the World Cup!

well the advancement in television technology has assured that many more people watch cricket. People who are thousands of miles away from the venue of the match can watch the match, with all the tiny details. New features like the hawkeye have proved to be very useful. Cricket has certainly been made more enjoyable.

Cricket: The Rules \nHenry VIII called it "the sport of kings," but for many cricket is shrouded in enigma. This needn't be the case. At heart, once removed of jargon, it remains a simple game of immense depth and beauty, combining strategy, cunning, raw hand-to-hand fist fighting to the death, teamwork and even the occasional tear of sorrow. What follows is a simplified summary of the rules, as first set down by WG Grace, Lord of Wisden, in 1851. \n\n\nThe Basic Set-up \n Cricket is played between two opposing teams. One team bats while the other fields. It is easy to tell which is the batting team, because they are wearing fenners — white woolly jumpers with two cyan stripes around the upper arm (the other team's jumpers have two turquoise stripes). The batters play within the light green rectangle known as the crease, and each stands in front of the wicket — the small wooden apparatus at each end. Although anyone in the team may bat, usually two batters are chosen. The ball is thrown at the batter by the bowler. It is the bowler's job to try and befuddle the batter so that he misses the ball or plays a bad shot. \n\n\nHow Are Points Scored? \nPlayers gain points in the following way: \n\nBy Runs: after hitting the ball the batter may run as many times as he likes between the two ends. Each run (there and back) equals one point on his team's score. \nBy Fours: after hitting the ball the batter may crawl on all fours between the two ends. Each completed trip scores four points. \nBy Popping: If the ball 'knobs' the batter, a pop (two points) is added to the score. \nBy Googling a Six: If the ball, after being hit, rolls along the ground uninterrupted for fifty yards (a google), the team receives six points. (Named after Reg Google, Australian wicket-keeper who was so short that he was incapable of lifting the bat.) \nBy an Over: one point is scored (see below). \nFielding \nLord Larry Grayson said "cricket, like chess, is won in the field," and it is certainly true that the strategic positioning of your men on the pitch can make the difference between check and checkmate. However, it is important to remember that fielders mostly stand around doing nothing. The sometimes obscure names for fielding positions are illustrated below. \n\n \n\nBowling \nThe ball must be thrown from the Knacker's End: the end nearest which the umpire (referee) wearing the Knacker's Hat stands. The ball bounces and the batter must attempt to hit it. If he fails to hit the ball, the following penalties apply, in order: \n\nFirst miss: umpire calls 'maiden' and the ball is passed again to the bowler. \nSecond miss: umpire calls 'over' and one point is given to the opposing team. \nThird miss: umpire calls 'bye' and the player must leave. \nOther Ways of Being Out \nThere are in total seven ways of being out, or dismissed: \n\nWhen the umpire calls 'bye' (explained above). \nWhen the ball is caught by an opposing fielder before it has touched the ground, but after it has been knocked by any part of the batter (including the bat) other than the extra legs (below the navel) or the eyes. \nWhen the player is adjudged to be wasting time (taking more than 24 hours between consecutive bowls). \nWhen the player hits the ball twice, unless doing it to protect his wicket or testicles. \nWhen the umpire calls 'leg before wicket'. This is a complex rule, explained below. \nWhen player, bat and ball remain static, at the discretion of the umpire. This rule was introduced in 1983 after a cardboard cut-out of Ian Botham played for seventeen hours. (Does not apply in wet weather.) \nWhen the ball, after being bowled, hits the wicket and knocks it over (rare). \nLeg Before Wicket \nThis rule was introduced when players realised that it was more productive to kick the ball rather than play it using the bat, because no-one may be caught out thereby (rule 2 above). \n\n \n\nThe

It depends on whether one is a true cricket fan for its classic characteristics that no other sports offer. Not if you'd rather watch or play a fast-paced sport.
