Sanjeeta just happened to mention this morning that Ronaldo was being bartered for some 60 million pounds. It started me off on this whole thing about how these popular sports like Football and Cricket have become blood-chillingly commercial. I think the politics of it along with the commercial aspect is what put me off Cricket. If I were to be very specific I would say the original break happened during the world cup of 1994 when Hanse Cronje, my favorite, was involved in a Match Fixing scam. That was long back and the game has changed since then. The new IPL series is a worse affront I think than anything that ever happened to the game before. I do not follow Cricket anymore and I am actually proud of saying that!
