Let’s help India.

Dear Friends,
After seeing Indian Cricket teams superb performance in past and present you need not to worry. We have clay tigers in team. They have only thing to do endorsement and making money. Indian cricket is not sport but its complete business.
15(excluding team mgmt) member company drives the business of more $1 Billion USD. Out of 10 advt. presented 3 are performed by cricketers. We have team of models rather than cricketers. Also I would like to highlight Cricket is team game (if we consider this as game) although individual contribution is very much important. There should be Quality and consistence performance has to be made criteria for selection rather than what 1 year or 4 year X player has done. Could any one remember that When Australian Cap Mark Waugh retired scored 82 runs in last match? He was playing good enough to continue in team but also have wanted to set the path for new youngsters in team. Australian, SA teams are very much professional and their pattern is periodic performance for going or not in team. In recent example when Ganguly was thrown he did hard work in his Team-OUT period and came back in team and was performing almost consistently. This indicates that such Team-IN and Team-OUT process has to be made as part of selection procedure. There are many members in team like.
Now Lets come to the point. 10 Hours per match considering 10 crore people watches Indian cricket in India. Hence 10*10Crore Hours=100 Crores Hours =416666 Man days =1141 Man Years!
Now you can see just 1 cricket match cause us to waste/lost 1141 years. How may we see in year played by India? Dear Friends, during those days when we see cricket US, JAPAN and all European works. They are developed and we are still developing country. I think if we keep on doing this will remain another next 50 years or more as developing country. Lets use your time smartly for your and nation’s productivity. Let’s help India.
