What Is Higher In The Game : Professionalism Or Patriotism ?

■★What Is Bigger Professionalism Or Patriotism ? ★ ■
[ Belley Is Bigger Or Own Country In the sense of Games and Sports ! ]
Kerry Packer the media mugal of Australia that offered a big money and he contracted most of the leading cricketers of that time because of fuss and dispute to have media rights with the ACB. And at the overnight all the dominant national teams became insolvent. And team like Australia and West Indies has to preferred the unknown or less known cricketers for their national teams who were not at the scene or can be said awaiting debut but their luck strike automatically and they became the part of national teams. Kerry Packed prospered the game cricket or spoiled it’s a point of discussion. Obviously did have given harm particularly the fundamental or conservative cricket _The Test Cricket . But okay the ODI or instant cricket like T20 have drawn the shallow fans and some those fans whose time is precious and they start coming only as the picnic and light enjoyment. Okay I attend Sunil Gavaskar the stalwart of indian cricket who was
the then only a big cricketer from india or can say had only one big name in the indian cricket horizon that is one and only Sunny Gavaskar but he kicked off the big offer yeah but only money point of view. And we know that stats (Kerry Packer Showcase Matches ) wouldn’t be counted authentically by the ICC.
Sunil Gavaskar who was the proud of nation then denied the luresome ample offer only for the nation’s sake and pride. He neglected the tamptiful offer of the Kerry Pecker and showed his great patriotism. And he was real hero and by his great decision proved his heroism and dwelt in the heart of the nation’s fans.
When Sunil Gavaskar was at his pick of the career his salary was very low but to play for the nation was proud . Yeah what the remuneration the Indian Soldiers get . Yes so scanty in the comparison to the other employees but what kind of proud they have to serve the nation! What kind of respect they get we know ! The national flag is shrouded when they meet Martyrdom. On chivalry they get dignified medals . So the national service doesn’t count and compare with the salary. And to represent the nation as the sports person is the most pious ,glorified and patriotic service. So be honest at this service do not lure or allure to money. Yes cricketers like Mohammad Azharuddin, Manoj Prabhakar , Ajay Sharma , Ajay Jadeja, Shreeshant and some other sold out their soul and involved in bribe for match fixing . They cheated the nation and the fans. It’s shameful , loathsome for the nation that they defamed nation’s glory and goodwill in the world by their meanest act . In my sense that was like seditio and would be hang publicly. Due to derogatory politics those guilty players have been not punished fully but the black page and black blot would be ever seemed in the cricket history of India .
Yeah I am talking about Sunil Gavaskar’s dedication and national spirit. And later Sunil Gavaskar became the biggest voice of the cricketers to have the salary what is paid to them is not liable and justifiable. Make advertisement and act in ad films is like a harlot business and it must be restricted by the government. The players work is only to play and play and practice and practice but for that they should be given handsome money to survive and maintain materialistic heights . What the board earns through their game and what the board pays is like a slave labour. And then the voice was heard and handsome salary did start for the cricketers. Sunny ‘s motto was high and he wanted that each player who play for the nation must be paid handsome money also the pension . He began a welfare body that named “CHAMP” that helps needy sports persons and players of the nation. For this great mankind service Suny is saluted .
Yeah now a days it is seeing that the national cricketers do not want play for their nation because their Cricket Board donot pay enough money for playing . So those players used to play in some Franchise Cricket like Bigbase,IPL, PCL, County , etc. Avoiding national play some players make pretext to be ill,injured or not fit or other kind of pretend . But for IPL like unauthenticated tourney they get fit at once or at the overnight. Why because there is a big money,less tension , not national fans’ pressure ,not the question of national pride, no affect of lose and win. And least energy or work out. You have to bowl only 4 overs if the bowler or all rounder and if the batsman might be not need if you are a middle or lower order batsmen. And as the batsman if gets chance to bat then you have to swing the bat. There are 120 balls or deliveries and each batsman has only 12 balls to his share to face or play .
West Indian great M Holding asks question ” Hook or duck is your decision”. Through this phrase or dialogue he points out living is bigger than the nation . If you live then there is the nation and if not live in the lack of living you would die and not the part of the nation . So living is the must but many people prefer their nation than the stomach despite suffering . For them nation is above all than all selves and senses . They prefer to die than to be professional.
In the games and sports the commercialization and professionalism is dangerous. See Virat Kohli who was established cricketer so preferred his first baby’s birth and pregnancy of his wife but when he was not established he even not preferred his father’s last rites or funeral. Think he was in a flop form and about to edge from national cricket,would he be dare to sideline him from the national team for his wife’s pregnancy. No ,never but he must think himself as the soldier who overlook his closer’s death ,marriage ,
birth ,etc.,and preferred nation’s service first and in my sense the sports persons are the capital of the nation and not less than a soldier . Yeah
in that case Virat Kohli would say to his wife, “Darling I am struggling and about to sideline so there are practice or FC matches where I have to prove my form so please teem out the baby in my absence and there are our family members from both the side there at that time who would care of you .
Yeah the West Indies Cricket Board isn’t pay sufficient salary to their players so they prefer commercial tournament like IPL where they get handsome money.
But I do think the West Indies Board should have given contract to Kerry Pecker lile Byron who would survive cricket there and will build up the squad like C Lloyad’s 1975 invincible team men because West Indies CB is poor . Then sure the talents wouldn’t migrate or fled and prefer their benevolent nation or mother country only.
Yeah who gives you the recognization ,who gives you the platform ? Yes need to think. Mr M Holding asks, ” National commitment or commitment with livelihood and what would you prefer is a dilemma ! Yes IPL like tournament gives chances to play many players and the franchisees offer them good money though the franchisees and the cricket board earn 100000 multiply plus amount in compare to their investment. And a national team needs only 11 cricketers and 5 extra players so rested talents where would get chance so it’s good that pretty and petty cricketers do get chance through this entertaining platform . Yeah they get chance at the domestic level’s tournaments and for that the board pays them good money but the IPL gives them greater popularity and bigger money .
Once there in the West Indies Cricket was like religion. Legendary Richie Richardson quoted or extracted these statement when rhe team West Indies was ousted or knocked out from the World Cup and there was a potential bench at that time but now a days or for 20 years they are at the bottom and talents are ruining. The players prefer basketball,football,
tennis,boxing , athletic where is huge money . This agony was revealed once by great West Indian Brian Charles Lara whose footballer friend is billionaire and he is repentant to choose cricket as the career where is no money.
But commercialization is dangerous and a player should be like a sage ,yes simple and sober because he is a role model and national hero. He has to avoid luxury . He has to prefer his nation first. And the authority must neglect those kind of players who prefer professionalism only. Kerry Pecker relived many cricketers and some veterans too like Bob Simpson, Kalicharan. And gave Melcom Marshall like great because there were the great bowlers like A Roberts,M Holding,J Garner ,C Croft and they were absent and M Marshall , Sylvester Clarke got chance . If those 4 bowlers were in the team then Mr Marshall and S Clarke had to await being out of form,lose form of those great or the retirement but they were lucky that they got the chance and they endorsed out the opportunity and M Marshall became the horse of long race.
