Childish Issues in Sports :  Tennis and Cricket

 -DR. ABDUL RUFF

-----------------

1. There is none in cricket world who could make 100 plus on his own against reckless hostile bowling that too without any assistance form fellow batboys-it is the accepted fact that "partnerships" is the secret behind team “wins”. There is none in tennis, either male or female,  who has succeeded in first serve techniques to deny the opponent any chance of even touching the ball, let alone winning a point. On the contrary, hardly any first serve succeeds. There are great tennis players, top players, champion players, but there are hardly nay great players because most of them mostly depend on the weakness of the opponents in stead of showcasing their positive striking ability. All of them go for short cuts to win a fraction of a point.

2. There is none in tennis who does not go for short cuts by short ball when other better options are available. In fact short cuts prove to be costly for many players even in the latest in the Wimbledon or Open sesames. They play international tennis like local tournaments by trying childish short cuts; It is crudely shame!

3. The policy of "give & take" cricket exchange program between countries is till in vogue in international cricket - in all formats - the worst  being in Tests and also 20/20s, played exclusively for big Sixes and Fours on mutual understanding. It is another international shame. Countries like Sri Lanka and West Indies still practice the age old "worship the masters" and both think by promoting Indian interests they are also getting some gains at some other levels. This is a global as swell as third world shame! Masters offer one 100 plus and take back at least twice of it.

The way batboys choose run-out is atrocious! ICC does not permit the batboys to end his innings on his own without losing his wicket; ICC wants runs for batboys and wickets for bowlers and fielders.  If bowers are hostile to a particular bat-boy or he has already "got" 100 plus and wants to retire, the said troubled bat-boy cannot go back to pavilion without surrendering the wicket. That is logic of cricket!

England won the toss on 01 July for 2nd ODI and let SL boys to bat first who readily did that. That English boys could be too liberal and generous at times was demonstrated in deeds in London by offering 309 (6.18 runs per over)- perhaps hoping to get 100 plus etc and 320 plus runs in total in return. But the Lankan boys played bowls too smart after consuming all runs from the poor Britishers; they just mercilessly bowled them all out too early and they collapsed without even reaching 250- or was it an international rout form England side? Maybe, the London boys would offer 350 plus runs to Lankan visitors next time. 

In tennis technology is used for all umpiring work but in cricket, for purely "ranking" and "records" adjustment reasons, that has not been done so far; the so-called third umpire comes into picture with technology only when other two umpires refer the matter to that guy. Umpires at time take too much of liberty about LBW and in Indo-WI Test-2 on the day-1 he declared D. Bravo LBW even though he also knew that  bat boy was not out, but, amazingly,  WI did to subject to the umpire decision either because as per the possible mutual agreement between India and  its WI assistants WI must lose  at least 3 wickets on the day since India had lost all 10 wickets.

4. Why the hell Tennis court still promotes doubles both mixed and same-doubles? Why does ICC insist on 100 plus for select candidates? It is atrocious to watch when WI botboys deliberately offered their last 4 wickets to Indian bowlers on June 30- obviously on demand from "powerful" India. Why should a couple of batboys throw away their wickets in order to promote 100 plus of their favorite botboys by rotation? The ways the batboys get run outs even just for the sake of fun only indicate the fact that they are stupid fools.

5. Mostly the players have no shame in showcasing their foolishness and childish behavior on the field.  A part of terror-twins, UK is sponsoring Wimbledon but none of its players are able to shine even with media and crowd support. Wimbledon guys are promoting Indian cause as far as possible, shielding the players as far possible in many ways in rescheduling and hiding the names from the schedules-why? In Commonwealth Games of Delhi, UK assisted so well India, which on its own tactfully manages, by bribes, some  special privileges for its players,  in securing more medals so that Indian regime could offer cash prizes and national awards and other post. 

Cricket teams generally bestow “wins” and 100 plus to Indians in sympathetic consideration of the Indian terror victim syndrome and the innocent look Indian players have successfully sported. Some money bags and other package deals are only extra features in inter-state, corporate world mafia fixings. If the opponent somehow managed to make a 100 plus India insists on return favor too. This in media is known as “fight back” and batboys becoming “in- form”.

State sport spies arrange the double partners by picking the needy fish from the market. India uses unfair means of manipulation of the schedules and begging  the stronger teams to withdraw to enable Indian "doubles" to win or happily "walk over" and jump on to each other's waist to show their excessive  immoral joy.American Bryan Co withdrew from the  contest only to make Indian tennis boy and  India's chosen Russian mate to reach the finals. Every thing illegal and immoral are lawful for terrorists India-Israel and USA-UK terror twins. Not only in war games but even in sport games they cooperate too much.

Besides "singles"- both male and female, all other combinations in tennis are meaningless and waste of time. If the organizers have plenty of extra money- earned or stolen - they could directly offer them in billions of dollars to each of such "doubles" aspirants, in stead of mixing every thing with tight hugs and present them as sport like that happens in fish markets. After all people hunt for cash and resources, legally or otherwise!

Since the governments and their agencies  promoting sports personnel directly and  by short cuts, it is absolutely necessary for the regimes to keep themselves away from in awarding medals these pampered "players". It is ridiculous to award the players with medals and big cash, etc, after spending huge resources exclusivity on them in all possible ways. There are sports agencies and private organizations assigned by the state that can do this task. National Padma type awards should be for serious works- except state terror operations. India honors a man who has won a medal in shooting by spending just minutes and he wants  Bharatrata post as well now. Because, he know influence matters and Indian Hindutva mindset would favor him and the like.  . .

It is urgent to ban doubles in tennis and 20/20 and Test in cricket. Other formats need to be reformed to be able to obtain stability by means of reliability.
