why I love cricket so much?


Recommended Posts

I used to watch cricket a lot back in school, but mainly coz I went to a paki majority school    so Pak vs Ind matches ended up becoming more important than your GCSEs   it was like a war a matter of izat  lmao!

Even the teachers used to give up lessons on those days

When it was ind vs pak in 2011 the year ind won the world cup, I went in wearing on of those orange backpacks with a khanda on it that they used to give out on nagar kirtans     LMAO 

Now I look back and it was just stupid 

I dnt watch it any more

before becoming amritdhari, I used to watch lots of cricket, tennis and lots of movies.

after becoming amritdhari, I completely stopped watching tennis and watch very few movies as I want to give more time to my spiritual life.

But I am unable to give up on my cricket addiction.

is cricket the greatest sport discovered by man?

Are you still watching cricket? What is it about cricket that you find addictive ?

It's the third or fourth most popular sport in UK. Probably because there is less open space here and the weather is worse, that limits how much kids can play it. 

Soccer is by far the most popular. Rugby is second. 

Do you watch all types of cricket? What do you think of T20?

I hv started to watch less cricket lately but I do keep an eye on the scores.

There are so many dimensions in cricket.

Fielding

Batting: defense, attack

Bowling: fast, spin, leg spin....

God's creation is beautiful. Sports are part of that creation. Cricket is a beautiful sport.....

What other sports are popular in Punjab other than hockey and kabaddi ?

Do you think parents do not encourage their children much into sports in Punjab ?

Cricket has become very popular in punjab.

Sadly parents in India put too much pressure on their kids to become doctors and engineers and not sportsmen.

Alot of people live like they are never going to die. No wonder they develop so much attachment to maya.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
