You are a good Sport, John. A fine congratulatory note
regarding the "Famous Indian Victory." I prefer
reading such notes as yours to any others of a
nationalist chest thumping type. Let the score speak
for itself. When the game is over, leave it on the
field and join your opponent-mates in the club house
for friendly refreshment, and slap on the back and
good old comradery ...

Hello Rtn.John Glassford, and all the cricket lovers on ROTI,
Thanks for congratulating the Indian team. Hard luck John ,
but the point is that India is an upcoming team, while Australia
is a side which is seeing too much of retirements, so it is in
a transition phase. Now the Aussies require young blood
to be injected in the side. It is also not out of context to
mention that Indian young boys are the under 19 World
Champions now, winning the U-19 world cup in Malaysia,
only this Sunday.

Just to give you an idea of how fanatic we are about cricket,
I should tell you that right now, not only all the TV news
channels are running the news of Indian victory as the no. 1
to no. 5 headlines, we are having , on our prime time TV news,
and talk shows, interviews with Mothers of our newborn stars,
Harbhajan, Praveen Kumar, and other cricket stars. There are
special interviews with brothers, sisters, and even neighbours
of the cricket stars. There are public celebrations which will
last at least for a couple of days..

The BCCI (Board of Cricket Control in India) has declared a
cash award of Rs. 10 Crore ( 2.5 Million US $) for the team.
The corporate business houses, and the state governments have
started queuing up for bestowing awards on the stars in excess
of a million dollars, individually.

With all this money splashing, I would like to suggest that,
Rotary can encash the popularity of the game, (at least in India,
Aus, UK, and Pakistan) and organise charity cricket matches
between prominent teams, as a fund raising effort, and also can
propagate the Rotary Foundation programs of Polio eradication,
and water management, through such cricket events. (I know
soccer is more popular in UK, as compared to cricket , but the
Asian population there, loves cricket)

Off course, to some, cricket, is something that chirps, but in all
more than 2 billion people follow cricket, and that is 33 %
of the world.

Good on you Sudhindra
Well said mate!
Maybe you Indian Rotarians can get your cricket board
to harness some of that euphoria for the people of India
that are doing it tough.
Maybe you could also get the Indian cricketers to support
an orphan or million in Africa! Cricket is played in Africa
especially South Africa, Kenya and Zimbabwe in fact
everywhere the British were in power.

Now I am going to Wagga Wagga this morning to see
if I can buy an Indian one day cricket shirt!!! I will wear it
to our Indian night on Saturday in honour of your victories.

You Indians will be more than aware that Steve Waugh
supports an orphange in India. I wonder if the Little Master
Sachin would support Orphan Rescue in Africa.
Anyone know Sachin?

John,
Were you the bloke making a mad dash across the cricket
field in his birthday suit?
Looked more like a Kiwanian to me, but couldn't make it all out.
