Indian Cricket in Mess
It was the time when cricket was a game of real sportsmanship. Even five days Test Matches were very exiting and interesting. All most all payers use to play the game sincerely and remaining loyal to the game of cricket. The Cricket Boards were also not so rich and players not use to get considerable amounts in the Test Matches. However Cricket was played in the true spirit of game and that too remaining loyal to all ethics of the game. People also use to enjoy games accordingly. C K Nayedu, Ammarnth, Vijay Hazare, Vijay Merchant, Hemu Adhikari, Vinu Mankad, Polli Umerigar, Nawab of Patodi and Dattu Phadkar, were some of the Stalwarts of the Cricket then.
The nature of game change slowly as some of the wasted interest entered in the management of Cricket Associations. The Politicians, Industrialist and Business people started controlling the Cricket Associations. They also brought the culture of Money by managing cricket like a corporate companies. They started making money out of the cricket and in turn the remunerations of the cricketers were also increased gradually. The feasibility for managing the game financially is necessary but in the process it became business oriented. That made the Cricket vulgar money spinning machine.
It has now become very difficult to find difference between fixed or genuine Cricket Games. Several cricketers have been accused of match fixing and also found involved therein.
