After the Indo-Australia second test controversy erupted, all we get to see in the news channel is cricket, cricket, cricket and cricket. If the same incident had happened in any other sports nobody would have paid any attention and those sportspersons would have swallowed the insults and injuries. The media would not have been present at all and even if they had they would have advised to take it all sportingly. I had great love for cricket once (playing the game and watching it on the screen) but diue to this excessive cricket on the television, it has killed my interest and all I have now is just disgust for the game. A couple of years ago also there was not that much interest for the test matches but now it occupies the front pages and headline news slot. Even if a person wins 10 golds in one Olympic event, he would be a non entity before Sachin Tendulkar. Leave alone the general public, the electronic and print media will also not give the olympian more importance than Sachin.
