The Wheel is Forever
:I understand it, I just dont have a lot of time for it and I certainly do not understand it.
I know what you mean.
Oh, I agree. I personally don't care, least of all if it's T20 crap stuff, but people are wrong when they say the players and the fans (at least from subcontinent) would not rate it as the biggest thing in their careers. The analogies to other sports like football are not apt because they don't take into account the relative paucity of medals in the subcontinent vs. UK or Australia.I dont realize what it would be like for a nation to win gold, its just that I dont like the mentality of national celebration.
Regarding Stanford, yea, they really look for excellence. A side point - my sister was applying there, and she is applying for PhDs in neuroscience and yet they still had a whole essay for all the sports she plays ......
