World Cup 2007: No India! Just Advertisements!

Indian fans are angry, depressed and heart broken. Many of them even do not bother to sit in front of their TV sets to watch the matches of Super Eight stage of World Cup Cricket 2007. India is out of World Cup Cricket 2007 and the Indian fans have no interest about the outcome of this tournament.

The only thing that I can see now in satellite channels is the advertisements being broadcast again and again round the clock. Visa has an attractive advertisement and Pepsi and Nike have too. So, now the best thing to do for Indian fans is to watch the colorful advertisements in different channels. After all, these multinational giants have spent fortunes to make and broadcast these advertisements in the first place.

 

Not everyone is unhappy with the commercials. Of course, BCCI officials are happy that Indian team can attract so much money. BCCI President Sharad Pawar has even defended the players in this regard.

 

The Hindu reported:

 

Taking a soft line on the commercial endorsements on television by Indian cricketers, the BCCI president said "There is a tendency to exaggerate this issue. There is nothing wrong in the players earning money through endorsements so long as they can do it."

 

Pawar also said, the BCCI would encourage young players and 'India Blue' team was being contemplated to encourage budding talent.

 

 

So, at the end of the day, Indian fans are the only losers. BCCI officials are happy that money is coming. For the players, better luck next time. For the fans, there is no India in World Cup Cricket 2007- just commercials.
