Doesn't look too harmless to me. As I said, do it again and you're banned for good. Now, in a month, or in half a year - anymore baiting and your stay on CW will come to an abrupt end.

Anyways, enough of this, back on topic.

That was my point; the plucky little GB team knocked the once-mighty Indian hockey machine out in qualifying. Fist time India haven't been in the Olympic tournament in forever.

Unfortunately, the cricket-above-everything is hurting Indian sports in general. There is no funding, no equipment, no interest. Very few kids want to play hockey anymore. As you say, it's sad to see how far the mighty have fallen. Especially considering it was the only sport that you could say India were clearly the best at in the world at any point in their history.

Should host an olympics, introduce a few indian sports/games if you want to win medals (y)

Either that, or start trying to breed sports stars like China & Yao Ming.

Haha, the best example of that is the irony that the phrase 'Chak De India', which originated from a film about hockey, has been predominantly used as a form of support to the Indian cricket team.

Wouldn't work, Indian people don't like being told what to do. In anything really.
