Default cricket overshadowing other indian sports

i think its high time we gave cricket a break and let the other sports have its share of the limelight.i mean even in this forum all talk is on cricket.
the football team has qualified for Asia cup, the olypic team made the best record till date..
so maybe sports in other fields is pickin up and we need to give them our support!

you are right ..but i think in recent years indians have starting showing interest in tennis, boxing, formula 1, badminton, hocking and boxing

I think govt should support each sport equally

The problem with most of the other sports in India is the lack of facilities, and encouragement, even from the family members. The first outdoor game that most of the parents teach their children is CRICKET....

I hope that Olympic medals might bring a change in the thoughts

I completely agree with you.Unless parents and family members encourage their young kids nothing will change.You can not create world class players once they become mature.This has to be started at vey young age.
