India Or Pakistan In The Cricket

[JagsawSingh]

Too bad no one takes football seriously in our community. All Sikh team is something I can see myself supporting not this boring cricket game.

I don't know which 'community' you belong to but the one I belong to are football mad (hence the sheer number of dastar wearing Singhs in the stadium the whole world sees on their TV's each time a premier league match is televised). I remember my grandad telling me how, when he was little in Punjab, cricket was unheard of the pends. The only games they knew and loved were volleyball, kabaddi and football whereas cricket was known as the game played by the Bombay and Karachi wallahs. Just as Bombay and Karachi were alien places in lands that didn't belong in Punjab their pathetic excuse of a 'sport' where nothing happens for 5 hours and then someone hits a ball with a stick and then nothing happens again were also alien. But then seomething happened. What happened was that, because we mattered, a Karachi walla (Jinnah) made promises to us to join him, and then a Bombay wallah (Nehru) saw what the Karachi wallah just did and made even better promises to us if we joined him. We (and I promise I'll remember the cricket analogy in a moment), fell for the Bombay wallah's promises and went with him (btw, the Bombay wallah's promises were for an independant 'Khalistan').

So....'cricket'....Well, now that the bombay wallah's have taken us over I suppose we have no choice but to embrace their game.

India or Pakistan ?

Is this not the same as asking whether i prefer pol pot or genghis khan as a mass murderer ?

cricket is huge in punjab im currently their right now and alot of ppl in my pind play it and were all watching india vs pakistan tht day. but your right alot of nri punjabis seem to like playing Hockey (which is crap) alot more then cricket for some reason. I sometimes play cricket at the park with ppl but only 1 was sikh rest were pakistanis. Sikhs should be supporting cricket more then ice hockey and soccer (football) because these sports have more of a connection to desi people and we can show other communities tht we will put our sports before theirs!

Now cricket is played in the villages. But until 90s, this game was mainly played by the city folks since Cricket is not a very athletic sport so one does not need to be that physical strong to play this sport. Back then it was field hockey which dominated the villages because boys from the villages had good diet and were physically stronger and more athletic. In Doaba it was football. But now due to spread of drug usage, even the boys in the villages are growing weak like the city boys and that's why now cricket is so popular in villages along with city foods like noodles, burgers and other junk food

What do you mean "for some reason" ?

Can you not read ghettosikh ? Before you asked that question I told you the reason in the post before that. Did you not read how cricket was a totally alien sport to the mass of Sikhs in Punjab but was instead the sport of foreign Karach wallas' and Bombay wallas. Them foreign bombay wallas took over your land by trickery and deceipt and in the process imposed their foreign values on Punjab. One of those foreign values is the pathetic 'sport' of cricket. If anyone needs proof that their policy of total enslavement is now complete, they only need to look at your message.

Cricket did not really take off in India until world cup victory in 1983, before then it was hockey.

[StarStriker]

Panjab is deffo still anti-cricket to my eyes. When the 2011 world cup was staged in india, all the matches that were played in panjab (mohali), the matches had empty attendances, apart from the india vs pak match, which for obvious reasons was packed.
