            Yeah vision ur vision is correct. I agree wid u. Their contribution to the nation is less, But its depends on their respect towards the nation. So as Indians we should admire the whole cricket team bcoz they represent our country as the best by their best performance. This should not exceed the limits by considering them as Heros.What ever it may be their contribution to the nation refers to their personnel area. But our topic here is cricket should be banned or not? Right.

          I agree with Keerthi and Vision. Today other sports are not given much preference compared to Cricket. If you ask a teenager which is the national game of INDIA, he/she will answer it is Cricket. The Cricket game has influenced the minds of all Indians.so much that many of them cannot live with out. Few days back we had a discussion that "India is forgetting its Culture “. I think we are encouraging cricket so much that we are forgetting that it is not our game. It is the favorite game of Britishers who ruled us for more than 200 years.they have injected the game in to INDIA, I think following Cricket, we are forgetting our culture. As an Indian we should focus on ancient games such as Kabaddi, Horse races, Kusti, Chess etc. We should encourage our national game Hockey by making it as part of every body’s education.

        Let me make it clear that now a days Tennis has got some craze in India because of Sania Mirza But I think it would have been different scenario If it was a  " HE “. Only thing I noticed is that the craze for tennis is ONLY because of  " SHE  “.

Hi,

       Banning a sport is not the solution for encouraging other sports, only thing is that every sport should be given preference according to its stature, I would say that Govt should provide aid to those games which are not came into limelight, instead of concentrating on games like cricket, even if govt doesn't care about cricket in providing funds for them, many sponsors are ready to sponsor them, only thing is that govt should take initiative steps to develop less popular games.

            Even I want to say that, any particular sport is not popular with any particular gender as our friend "Binny said ,I think it would have been different scenario If it were a " HE " . Only thing I noticed is that the craze for tennis is ONLY because of " SHE (sania mirza) " " .

      so I ultimately say that banning of cricket is not the solution for encouraging other sports.

        yeah, I agree with all of u, banning of cricket is not at all the  solution for diverting interests of youngsters on to other games, they themselves should be inspired of some great players in other fields, just like sania mirza as some of u told...

          In my view cricket shows the best example for work done in unity by all the teammembers,this the quality every one should develop, and many more things can be learnt by such games...

          so my conclusion is banning is not the solution...

          No cricket should not be banned. We can see a good team effort in cricket, which motivates the youngsters a lot. For Indians cricket is like a religion and this increases the union of our country. I can't accept that banning of cricket will redirect the people to concentrate on other games.
