Cricket always an English game adapted by Indians!

With IPL making a comeback at Dubai which has been informed by BCCI it makes us understand that such a big cricket extravaganza will be confined to 30,000 or more spectators at only three stadiums at UAE. When the Indian soil is used to get the match played then it is given much of importance and almost every state gets dragged with different venues.
Now, think about the amount of revenue it generates for the masses through various advertisement rights and also the income of stadiums along with the taxes but at the same time the various expenses incurred on it which is of managing the stadiums along with involvement of various other agencies creates a good amount of pressure.
If one thinks about developing the other such games and athletics then we find less of involvement but if we compare the same cricket which is played at England then most of the matches there are only the day matches and no day-night matches are played there. 
Also, think about the world cup winning team which is most number of winning goes to West-Indies and Australia which shows that in-spite of spending huge amount of money on this game still we as a country and it's players were never able to carry the winning momentum for many years to come. If we remember the country winning ratio or rather the two times win then it was during 1983 and then in the year 2011.
The same could be said about England which won the world cup only last time so are we creating the pool of players who can give the winning performance for many years to come or we are just making the huge amount which is gathered by BCCI through it's venture getting to the countries like Afghanistan and also Nepal which may get introduced after few years into Cricket.
Let us think about the days when Cricket always an English game adapted by Indians only to get the boost of certain cricketing families which are near to each other and for them Cricket is a game which has become a way to give a breath of fresh air within inside and outside of their own household.
If cricket is a team game then why Sri Saurabh Chandidas Ganguly refused to carry the water for his teammates and why the entire tantrums like slapping Mr. Harbhajan Singh was done during one of the IPL matches.
Why Mr. Andrew Symonds has to face the monkeygate scandal during the  test matches at Australia and why Mr. Raman Lamba expired at the cricketing field. Think about the various other incidents where the cricket is considered as an English game or rather a gentleman game but it took almost many years to shape the career of Sri Sachin Tendulkar who is still considered to be less educated than any of his teammates.
So, before putting your heart and soul into cricket and thinking it as a national game it is always better to spend some time with all those games which could lift the mood of the nations better and it could help to understand you as a person rather than the politically stigma game which could give you performance based incentives for few years and then a free auto from Bajaj or TVS to drive across the streets making you the mockery for many years to come!
