India and Pakistan lose to 'lesser' opposition and all hell breaks lose. Mobs go on the rampage and Woolmer is murdered. Walk into any ground during a test match and you will find empty seats all around but one day cricket is a different matter. The grounds are full of yobs who understand little of the finer points of the game and are out to make a nuisance of themselves. They are the same sort of people who go to a football match to fight. Huge bets are placed on matches involving India which means that any loss is not to be tolerated. Because of these idiots sports channels in India show cricket all day long. Star Sports used to show live rugby and other proper sports but since it has been taken over by ESPN we get cricket interspersed with rubbishy American games such as basketball where 9 feet tall freaks try to put a ball into a basket 10 feet off the ground. Most likely India will lose today to Sri Lanka and return home thereby depriving Door Darshan of millions in stolen income. I will not mourn.
