RE: Weekly Review - Vivo Indian Premier League Twenty20 Cricket
I am happy that I am building some curiosity to you about cricket game. :)
Well, as I write this, RCB won their game against Mumbai Indians and I am just hoping it's the beginning of those must win games for RCB and looking forward to have some fun filled wins for them.
Yes, Hockey has been our National Game and it was Hockey which fetched many medals to India in Olympics during the 1980's to 2000's.
Off late, our hockey team isn't doing that good. It's more of individual medals than team games which are fetching medals to India in major tournaments.
Cricket sounds like an interesting game. That is good that the RCB one the game. I will go read the highlights.
I really enjoy all the information that you share. Good there were many medals during the 1980's to 2000's. I am sure the hockey teams will improve. It is good for the team members to get individual medals at least it will keep moral up until they can get medals as a team again.
I am sure cricket is second only to football in popularity and now there are efforts to bring cricket to US, Middle East and other European countries where cricket is a lesser known sport.
RCB have definitely made a good start and we have a match with our neighbors Chennai Super kings in their home ground, hopefully we will pull it off to be in race for playoffs. Every game is like a do or die game for RCB.
Although our hockey team shows glimpse of expertise here and there, it's not like the one we use to have in 1980's. We need to have a better coach to train the team to be on superiority and on par with teams like Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Spain to have chances of making it to finals of important tournaments like Olympics, Hockey World Cup and other international tournaments.
It must be stressful for the RCB team members to be in such a do or die state. Hopefully they can get a win or two.
Hockey is a major sport here. There are not too many people who don't know about hockey. I would agree with you that hockey in the 1980's was better. I am not sure why but I remember such good times and the game was at a high back then. I am sure it is still going strong but here some of the rules have changed. It is a more rough sport. Here it is a real big deal when Canada goes up against the US.
Having a better coaching system would help the team go to the Olympics or other international tournaments. I think that there are ebb and flows to the sports as well. The teams seem to have a good streak and then they seem to have a period of time when they just can't seem to get it together and then it all gets good again.
Definitely it's stressful and RCB has lost it's today's match :(
This makes their road to play-off's more tougher one and also makes them to keep an eye on other results.
Well, getting a foreign coach with more technical and game knowledge would benefit the players and should help in winning more matches.
