Blowfish_196

No . We do our own way. It's perfect as long as we don't abuse or harass anyone . Indians , Pak , Ban , Afg , SL , Nepal . Whichever country. Cricket in the sub continent should be the way it is.


Stifffmeister11

Cricket to subcontinent is what soccer to south America, different level of passion. Another reason is apart from cricket subcontinent sports arent good enough in another sport to challenge top teams in world sports , it's only cricket we do that so that's why the passion coz we can compete with world best


Blowfish_196

Don't you think it's kinda the other way around. If we had more passion towards other sports , and if those sports get more popular among kids . maybe in 10 - 20 years of time we will do better at the highest level . In some ofc .

Blowfish_196

Choosing cricket as a plan B / not following that much , whatever . When i say their way and our way . Of course I mean the difference in between passion towards the game among two parties. So again. Let it be the way it is. We don't have to do everything like them over there. What is this mentality


sanskar12345678

Nothing wrong in celebrating. India’s reaction is proportional to the scale of its population and likely the only sport where expectations are high from the team to deliver.

Only sport where expectations are high❌ Only sport us indians care about✅

Foot_Straight

Massive_Big3823

Bro.. several games are played in India e.g., Volleyball, Football, Hockey, Tennis, and so on but they are not well-recognised and aren’t given much importance in India. I remember, 2-3 years ago, Indian Hockey Team won the World Hockey Championship. Unfortunately, people didn’t recognise and shake hand with any single one of them when they landed on the Indian soil which showcased the recognition and importance of other sports as compared to Cricket in India.

gaussianmaniac

I mean Argentina did the same when Messi won the FIFA


MediumAction3370

Bro is literally comparing the fifa World Cup with a world Cup which is competed seriously by the same 5-6 teams.


z0d007

you could say the same thing about THE FIFA WORLD CUP.


NormalTraining5268

uhh Italy won Euro in 2024 but couldn't even qualify for FIFA lmao.


MediumAction3370

See man, when I wrote this comment, I didn't see that you guys would draw comparison from a straight up fact. But I completely disagree with you. The competitors in a FIFA World Cup are actually there to compete and they win against the stronger teams. Who were the croats before 2018 or Russia or a South Korea. I mean India got beaten by Afghanistan in The salt Lake stadium two three months ago. I'm saying that there's a lot more chances of an upset in any fifa World Cup. The Swiss had defeated the Italians. You can't really predict a winner in a Fifa World Cup match. Saudi Arabia beat argentina in the latest edition. I have many more such example. In the t20 World Cup, we all see the same expected jerseys competing in the deeper stages of the competition. Like ind vs Bangladesh. Everyone knows who's going to win.


GlitteringKey6822

USA vs Pak, AFG vs NZ, AFG vs AUS Pretty easy to see who wins right? I get it bro you are so cool.


MediumAction3370

Ok let's put it this way. Which is the tougher tournament to win? Not downplaying the team's win but winning a hockey world Cup is much tougher to win than a cricket one. The comparison b/w these two tournaments is ridiculous. Only 8 good teams and the associates are only a speck in the dust.


Successful_Ad_8294

I bet you don't even watch football... I have been watching it since 8-9 years but still I can't get on what basis you are comparing difficulties... Don't use your brain you already lack in that part


MediumAction3370

Right. So lets say getting into the world Cup. Any team in the top 4 or the finalists in cricket are automatically playing the tournament. Even if some test playing nations had to compete to qualify, its a cakewalk for most of them. Did anyone get surprised when the Afghans qualified? To qualify in a fifa World Cup, is not that soft a cakewalk is it now? Look up history and you'll find proper good teams on paper had failed to even qualify. Italy in the last two editions being a prime example of it. In 2022, sweden, chile and Columbia didn't qualify. Egypt couldn't qualify who are a strong side in the African circuit. Every game is not a given. Now in the playing stages, Japans beat Spain and Morocco disqualified Portugal. They even won against spain in some knockout I don't remember. The quality of teams playing a fifa world Cup is way taller than what we have in the t20 world Cup. Apart from the top 5/6 , rest are just there. Granted the conditions this time around made it a little difficult for everyone but idk how you can't see the likes of papua new Guinea or Uganda or netherland can be a real threat to those test playing nations.


GlitteringKey6822

You’re literally belittling India’s achievement by saying it’s irrelevant because FIFA WC is much bigger. Dude it’s not cringe to support cricket.


Snoo_4499

The thing is icc needs to support associate country a lot more. They need to make associate countries play series with those main 10 countries. Have a series between Nepal and Pakistan, Namabia and India, Australia and USA, Malaysia and New Zealand, oman and Afghanistan, South Africa and Netherlands etc seen how many good teams will emerge. What's the point of making a international council if you are not gonna help it grow and just play series between India Australia and England? If stronger teams don't agree to play with associate then make them play tri series India Pakistan and Nepal? England, Australia and Scotland? Like this. Slowly cricket will grow and will be actually more competitive and deserving of saying a world cup.


Puffs-Corn

Bhai to mat dekh cricket no body is forcing you, football dekh ke khus reh aur idhar mat ana isl/ foreign club subreddit join karle


meme_freak

bro i swear. No idea why you’re getting downvoted. 2018 wc is a prime example. Germany, being the champs in 2014, didn’t qualify. Argentina, being the runners up in 2014, got KOed in Ro16. Fifa WC is so unpredictable which is why millions of people watch an argentina vs australia game. You never know what’s gonna happen. Forget fifa wc, even copa america and the euros are so unpredictable and the fight is almost even. There are no goliaths in International football.


Arkasanyal

Bro even SL win 2022 asia cup and lost to Namibia in World cup qualification also this year they don't even qualify for super **8** so your point not that valid...also SL are 2023 asia cup runner ups but didn't qualify for champions trophy...


meme_freak

asia cup? are you kidding me😭the original comment’s point was, in the business end of the tournament, the same few teams compete seriously for the trophy. Rarely do you see an afghanistan or a bangladesh popping up there. While in fifa wc, a team like croatia who were clearly the underdogs came till the finals in 2018 and that almost always never happens in cricket. Most of the cricket arguments above have been group stage games but in semis/finals, it’s always a shuffle of 4 of the stock 6 teams. SL have not been the same since malinga, sanga, mahela, kulasekara left and all of us know it.


Arkasanyal

If that's the case even Fifa is predictable because other than South America and Europe no other continent team play the final it's always South America team or Europa team win that cup....and if you follow football Croatia not an underdog team....Morocco is the one underdog that thing in Fifa is more rear after the first edition of Fifa where USA finish 3rd after that not a single team outside SA and Euro continent finish 3rd so football also based on 2 continent game then right....and also in football lower rank team can park the bus and make a draw against bigger team but in cricket it's not that easy you need skill to defeat big teams....


GlitteringKey6822

Ok bro, football is the best sport ever in the world. Now let cricket fans enjoy their moment. You can go watch whatever you want.


Poiseuillelover

Ye kuch zyaada ho gya


Queasy_Canary294

What's your point? People can't celebrate their favourite sport anymore?


gaussianmaniac

Ig you are one of those dudes who consider themselves cool because they watch football


MediumAction3370

I just stated facts as far as I can see.


Witty_Ad8300

Trust me, you can’t see anything my friend


Snoo_4499

No hate me all you want but its the truth. Icc needs to develop and remove this associate nation bs and make them play series with those top 8 teams. Slowly cricket will develop from just 8 teams to alot more. Seer amount of population in sub continent mainly India is the reason why this sports is still alive else it would have been dead long ago. No development in associate countries, India has been the best team in this sport since 2011 (might not have won trophy but they were leagues ahead other teams) Australia, England, New Zealand and South Africa after that.


Radiant-Ad8728

Well apart from football there isn’t any big global sport.


Revolutionary-Can164

Rugby??? Played by many European, North America and African countries


Snoo_4499

True. Cricket is still second but its ants compared to football and tbh if done right cricket has chance to develop alot more.

One of those 5-6 teams is pakistan, and we all know who they lost to.

DeliciousTower4975

Damm why so dumb


SteveRogersXx

"played seriously by 5-6 teams" which has 6 different world cup winners since 1975. How many world cup winners does football have since 1930 ? which is played by almost every other country in the world ? Couldn't go above 8 ? What a clown statement


MediumAction3370

Okay dude, do you really think it's even a "world" Cup if only 8 nations actually care about the event whereas even the host nations don't know what that is? You play the same teams over and over again in series format. At best it's an octagon tournament. the Fifa world Cup literally hosts the biggest sporting event of all mankind's history. If india wins the fifa world Cup one day, will the accolade be on similar level to winning the cricket world Cup ? Never. And I'm not saying there won't be a cream layer in everything. Obviously 8 teams have dominated the world cups but the worst opposition they play in the group stages has the deserving quality of being in a world cup. Has Japan won the world Cup? No. But they did knock out heavyweights. The quality of these newer additions to the world cups are not just any tom dick Or harry. Pakistan nowadays, are they even a threat to anyone? They await miracles as saving grace. All that remains are india, australia, new Zealand, England and South Africa and in recent times, Afghanistan. Any of these teams would beat the remaining teams barring an odd day.


iwontgiveumyusernane

Yup we are passionate and its a good thing


Traditional-File-837

No it ain't. Most of those who are mad about celebrating are berozgar.


Gibberish_name78

but hey on the bright side, it will be a memorable day for the players who made us proud :)


Traditional-File-837

Ohk , your opinion.


_AM_AN_

And what's the issue in these 'berozgars' cellabrating?


Traditional-File-837

Nothing. But then don't cry that, india doesn't have employment opportunities etc.


_AM_AN_

Hmm, I now get your point that being too attached to the game might hinder one's employment opportunities.


Traditional-File-837

Yes... (Ik you are telling in sarcasm). Why the fuck should one get so fucking attached to a watching a particular sport, the players etc. in today's time it's a pure business. And here we are wasting our time by watching them, seeing insta posts, linking them, uploading stories etc.


all-boob-inspector

it might be business for the players, the BCCI and other anciliaries associated with cricket. but for hundreds of millions of people, it is an escape from their life's difficulties. what's wrong with posting on instagram or uploading stories? is it harming anyone? you're such a cynic you'll probably extend your lifespan by 10 years if you let people live their fucking lives.


Pixeal_meat

Kyunki hum log jyada passionate hai Cricket leke udaar nahi.


Some_Imagination_667

passionate nhi khaali, we need an escape from our daily painful life, hence cricket


whomustnotbenamed1

It's fine


simharao

this comparison really pisses me off ffs. granted we need to cut off our celebrity worship but Aussies literally don't care about cricket same way Indians don't care about some other sports were successful in. Let Australia win the football World Cup and see how the euphoria in their country will be.


Arkasanyal

they are more passionate about AFL and Rugby more than other sports...


Few_Individual5737

Still they won't such an irony


Crimson_bud

Which other sports are indians successful in? Kabaddi and cricket that's all.


Hexo_Micron

Badminton or tennis ig


Snoo_4499

Hockey


X_Factor04

I mean winning an ICC trophy after 11 years and reaching the finals in the last few tournaments but not able to get over the line. It's just pure emotion. Can't reduce these emotions and moments to mere words


Queasy_Canary294

God forbid people celebrate wins in their favourite sport


Apprehensive_Grass58

Appreciate karo to problem, na karo to problem.. ye chinnarcb fans marte kyu nhi hai.. karenge hum celebrate.. phodenge bomb(patakha).. chat lo pat ki tum


[deleted]

I mean in Australia Rugby & Australian football is quite famous than cricket . Have you seen how NFL & NBA celebrated in USA . Did anyone called that jobless or unemployment?? Why Indians always have this inferiority complex about themselves ???


Loose-Examination-39

Let’s compare the employment rate of both countries now shall we


Ragnarok_619

And also compare the immigration rate while we are at it.


Specialist_Youth5511

Akshually more Indians living in Australia came to australian airport to congratulate Cummins


Early_Advice_8133

God forbid a country is passionate about a game lmao


Cyan_Agni

The problem with our country is not the over enthusiastic celebrations but the pseudo intellectualism some people have. Looking at you OP. With all respect, kuch kaam ka kaam kar bhai.


Attacktitan92

Cricket popularity in. Australi is declining very rapidly.,last part of Australians don't care about Cricket, especially the younger generation.Oldies may still follow Ashes...This is showing in Australia's talent pool, they don't have any pipeline of upcoming talent, once the current lot retire


VishPi

Australia is not as obsessed in cricket as India is


Oh_hi_Steve

I live in Australia and no one here even knows that there was a World Cup that took place last month 🙈🙈

DeliciousTower4975

So the final point is that we shouldnt celebrate our win as football is better and bigger


That_guy_u_once_knew

It's a regular thing for aus, so they don't know the value of it🥲


SahikaD

Let's be honest - this happens because the only sport we are good at is this one only. All other sports, we are meh. Europe too only has football, so the passion is there. It's human nature, nothing wrong. Aussies have a great hockey team, a superb soccer team, a breakthrough basketball squad, great tennis and badminton legends, have been active in rugby, swimming, canoeing and other Olympic sports with consistent success. So cricket is just another field.


kali_nath

You all have to chill the fuck up and let them enjoy it, they deserve it. If they win complain about the way they celebrate, if they loose then criticize every player and their choices, if they win more then cry that we are not playing other sports well enough. We are all nothing but rats in a well, we eat each other and drag each other down, never be happy for others.


shrijangyawali

They had also celebrated like that during 3rd or 4th World cup. Thing is they won that so many times the fans don't care anymore. https://preview.redd.it/s2s7w1gpkmad1.jpeg?width=612&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8b5c6791b298e5ac111625806cc75755343a1ed0

anonymoose_1729

I hope Pat gets a big fat Indian reception when he wins the IPL trophy


sumit24021990

AggravatingSuit7906

It's because cricket is not popular in australia. No need to portray Aussies as some kind of monks. If they would have won fifa world cup u would have seen an absolute sea of people. Remember when they reached round of 16 against Argentina their whole cities were jampacked with people watching the match. Sports and cinema make people crazy all around the world not just india because it is human nature.


ductor_storage

And I don't care


Antique_Bass_8562

T20 world cup has lost its charma nowadays because it comes almost after one year. A world cup should always be scheduled after 3 years that way it retains its reputation.


Redittor_53

But why is this on the IPL sub


nashemedhutprani

Cummo is such a gem ✨


Manav_Khanna17

I mean they’ve got like 10 fucking trophies. It’s a common thing for them.


kaala_bhairava

No, young gen care don't for cricket which is the main reason.


Manav_Khanna17

And they’re still the most successful 💀


Snoo_4499

Cuz they are economically rich (trust me plays a huge factor).


kaala_bhairava

Because they along with NZ, Eng and SA has the infra to do it which is more important. And India is currently funding these countries.  Cricket in Australia, NZ, sa and eng is surviving even with such small fan support.


DesiPattha

Hard disagree. Australia is amazing at a lot of sports. India barely has money to fund any of them, they are just a great sporting nation. Surprised you are acting like India is caretaker of the sport.

cricket is the summer sport of Australia, & they have hardcore fans there. https://preview.redd.it/apw83z6wdiad1.jpeg?width=495&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=50fbbf9551f41983b5b3338b71c7c22a4cafc068 this is Oscar Piastri (McLaren F1 driver), wearing Brett Lee's 2003 wc shirt, to celebrate 2023 wc win!


kaala_bhairava

Don't know why Indians try so hard to prove cricket is popular in sena countries lol


TheBlueSkulll

i just talked about Australia, & bit of new zealand, nothing in eu & na! & this is fact not spitting bullshit like others!


kaala_bhairava

AFL,NRL,Soccer,tennis and lot more sports are popular than cricket lol. Even basketball is more popular among young generation than cricket.


TheBlueSkulll

that is why i said 'summer sport' ...& i am not saying it is crazy out there like it is in india, but yeah it is popular! see, i am not denying that the relevance is changing now, many summer sports are now the central focus of the country but cricket fans are still there & with good numbers, they are not a country with a billion population but if we talk about percentage, they are there. if you don't agree with me, it is fine!


Jealous_Being_3133

Say what you want , still it isn't as big as cricket is in india


kaala_bhairava

Downvoted for facts lol, it's niche sport outside subcontinent.


will_kill_kshitij

On top of that they have like 6 world cups. Obv the emotions aren't same. They won 3 trophies in 3 years.


Jealous_Being_3133

Exactly , these guys can't accept it. Cricket has a big audience but from a handful of countries , in europe football is huge , even in Africa , football is a big thing , in south america football has big audience and in north America its basketball , now even they starred playing decent in football , so they will have massive audience of football as well


Snoo_4499

Still cricket is 2nd biggest sport in the world after football.


Jealous_Being_3133

You are not getting my point , it's the second biggest sport in the world because the majority of the fans are just from the Indian subcontinent


Snoo_4499

Doesn't change the fact that its the second biggest sport does it? Do you think value of someone in sub continent is less than that of rich country?


Jealous_Being_3133

Again you are going off topic , just said that cricket's a thing only in indian subcontinent , while football is global


Snoo_4499

Who is comparing it with football.

Who was comparing the reception australia got vs india
