Is cricket in Asian Countries taken too seriously?

Can we have some details on your shape and size please. :sleep:
Hey Filo. Have you read Tin Tin comics? I am sure you have. Then you must be familiar with those two characters called Thomson and Thompson. We are like that. We are just many more than just two :)

The more you behave like the "Captain" the more we are gonig to be like the Thom(p)sons :)
Bit behind the times there, SJS. :)

We have seen this in the past and its quite common that if an Asian tea performs poorly it ofte leads to unexpected amount of criticism .Thats not it people burn dummies and posters of the players whom they otherwise think as gods .I think the pressure of performing and the expectations levels in Asia are just too much and the media spice it up all the more .I made this topic purely because of whats going on in the Pakistan team .The crowds in India have burnt dummies of Chappel & C0 for their loss to Bangladesh and this puts unnecessary pressure on the players and makes it even more difficult for them to [erform .

I want your views on it .
I've asked myself that a lot of times but it's like football's popularity in Europe.
