The disturbing trend of empty galleries (The Hindu, November 6, 2015)


Legendary players like Sachin Tendulkar too would feel depressed if they happen to be performing n front of empty gallery. Mohali test is the latest example where empty galleries were watching and laughing at the test players!

I would say it is a good sign. It augurs well for other active and manly games like hockey, football and athletics etc. to pick up. In fact Cricket, like golf, was a stately game played by the English lords and their servants  in those days. Initially they were wasting a number of days by playing  such a low paced game.

Precious mandays of active workers and their hard-earned money should not be invested in such games in a developing nation like ours for some more time.
