Do you really think matches are fixed?
Cricket is involuntary to us, we dont make plans to watch the game and definitely dont count it as a distinctive social activity. Whenever our heroes are playing we end up watching the game or inquire about it as its part of our life. We know that fielding cant change during the free hit or how many men would be inside the circle during the power play, name of a player is engraved in our minds after his first match, there is no better ice breaker between a father and son than a game of cricket. We sure love our cricket and live it as life.
There has been a lot of talk about match fixing in the recently concluded IPL, specially after the modi impeachment by media. There have been reports of modi revealing the outcome of match to his betting front way in advance and hence making serious money. These reports would also mean that matches have been fixed, the same game played in front of hundreds of millions of cricket lovers was fixed and pre planned. These I think are serious allegations, not only against one man, but against the heroes we revere and against intelligence of a cricket lover.
