What Have They Done to Our Beloved Game of Cricket?

Although half of June and the height of the cricket season, coverage of major sports on television and newspapers, I think, is almost entirely devoted to football, cricket. In fact, I would go so far as to say that our beloved game of the summer almost be described as a race also in connection with football, because we are always driven by the news of the latest of several million pounds transfer of players, clubs are pay such astronomical amounts of money managers redundancy latest club to appoint new director of the club club upgrades in remote areas of the country we've never heard of. And so on. . . On. . . y. . . y. . . y. . . I wonder, there is no end, this information compressor football? Especially when our game of cricket is hardly mentioned. There is no mention of the outcome of cricket on TV anymore. In fact, it's hard to find in most newspapers these days, even in anywhere, except perhaps to hide in small print at the bottom corner of a page somewhere. One might ask, 'But what about 20/20 cricket? What makes a lot of coverage. "My answer is: 'What's wrong?" After all, this bang-bang-bang! the interpretation of the game is not cricket, eh? Oh, I know it attracts large crowds to watch. And there are a lot of money for all concerned, but we all know that when the debacle in the West Indies recently led us, right? And "all the hype and no substance, in my opinion. The game character will be lost if we continue down this road, and we will end the same as football. Money! Money! Money! With the players to challenge decisions of the arbitrators, to discuss with them, cursing them, despite being sent out of play because of his disorderly conduct against them. Who wants that? I know it is not. And this type of behavior has become an integral part of the Cricket Club up and down the country since the introduction of league cricket in recent years, with players slagging each other in a more crude has done much to be acceptable as the norm by everyone. What used to be regarded as a fun afternoon of games of cricket between the two friendly team in a good mood to appreciate their skills, it has now become what can only be described as a war zone in the cricket field Saturday and Sunday afternoon. In those happy days long ago, when cricket was played, and we should acknowledge that it was something after the game was the custom to enjoy a glass of beer at the bar with the flag of the opposition to discuss the game I had just spent all afternoon playing together. It is here that we learned a lot from each other, both as actors and as individuals. We were each other's talents cricket. Not like now where if you lose a game, its opposition was showered and changed and went home without a mention of race in the afternoon a few minutes of the game is over. There seems to be so much hostility between players, which is a shame, because at the end of the game, in my opinion, will suffer because of this bad attitude and general lack of respect, if it continues this way. That leaves only me just say, 'What have they done to our beloved game of cricket?
