 300120 Doldrums Of Fortune In Cricket 

    At one time, New Zealand needed 15 runs to win from 10 balls and they could score only 14 to end up in a tie. Then India needed 11 runs from 3 balls with Rahul at strike. But as if fate took a turn, 1 run to rotate the strike, a 6 off the next ball by Rohit Sharma and another 6 off the next ball to win the match. For New Zealand, it was a big jolt as they lost in Super Overs

 twice in less than an year. Previously, it was World Cup of ODIs and now it's the T20I series with two matches yet to be played.

   This is what Cricket is and with the immense betting it has become all the more a see-saw of fortunes. It has become an engrossing game for the Kings and gentlemen, who normally do Governance and Administration and engross into cricket for leisure and pleasure. No wonder that the Martial Combats for supremacy of the old era were replaced by Sports and especially by Cricket. For every dispute or argument, these people started resorting to cricket and made cricket a high stakes game. But as fate would have it, it would only decide the supremacy between the two people involved or all those involved with them. But will it decide about all those powers that are passive or not directly involved in it in any way. So, the combat philosophy for cricket failed and lot of wrongs were done in the shadow of Cricket betting. I am sure even the Cricketing fraternity would also detest such uses. But the fraudulent minds have been so wicked that for every 'Giving away' or 'lose situation' of theirs, they would raise a denial, dispute and then a cricket match to decide the judgment. Then they would manipulate the cricket, the stakes and the powers (primarily superpowers like invoking Gods, etc.) playing behind for match-winning and thus win the match as well as the dispute. But as fate would have it, it can affect a cricket match but it cannot affect the dispute areas. So, a new dispute and disgruntling arises. After all, such judgments of disputes are erroneous or falsified and even fraudulent.
     But now, all these have become a part of cricket. Many such whoosh-whoosh judgments are given a white label under the garb of match winnings. Whole streams of humanity are turned around with these. Not without a reason that betting and match-fixing are big operators in the Cricket Arena. And even with widespread vigilance and control, these are still involved in many other types of active as well as passive modes. So much so that many kinds of supernatural powers are also invoked and instant toppling over of fortunes easily effected. After all these years of competitions and especially the roaring eighties of the last century, these powers are well adept in this art. They can creep in into any match, turn over the fates and escape. It all depends upon the stakes involved and animosity against a team. Who would catch such activities and such powers. But the ACTUATORS are human beings of the Earth! Either they are directly benefited from the match or they indirectly earn benefits by taking sides of a team or in opposing a team!!! And sometimes they are passive beneficiaries!!! They create instant imbalances!!! And they join in from all over the world!!! This makes it a one team vs the world team match!!! What is worse is that these are usually missionaries or mercenaries or negative elements who don't care a heck about legality, fairness and law and order. So either the law and order has a tough time or it crumbles. And all parties latch onto their crumbs. So the whole event and it's outcome becomes disorderly and lawless. Certainly not in accordance with humanity principles.

      So it's high time we understand the limitations of cricket and it's stakes and the fortunes toppling over with these limitations and not play into the hands of fraudulent minds. Illegal setups and involvements will as it is, make the matches invalid. So instead of formatting a match, we should play and enjoy the game in the honest Sporting Spirit.     IPYadav
