Spectacular show

After more than a decade, Indian cricket team is in Pakistan. Any thing between Pak and India evokes lots of emotions on both sides, some good and mostly bad. However, with all the recent white-flag-waving between leaders of two countries, this time people seem to have matured.

When the game goes, both sides are damn good; yes, for a change even Indian players play well. Last Saturday, Indians scored victory and yesterday Pakistanis won the match. Both games were full of high energy. Such games pump up adrenaline, even for a casual spectator like me.

However, there is one unpleasant point – not for players, not for viewers but for TEN sports which got exclusive distribution rights for any cricket match in Pakistan. Now Indian courts have ruled that the game be shown free in the national television. Though viewers would be glad, it hurts business and brings down the confidence of the business community. Hopefully even this will be resolved amicably.
