A snapshot of the price money for the T20 winners
BCCI announces 8 crores for the team
BCCI announces 1 crore for Yuvraj Singh
Haryana Govt announces 2 Lakhs for Joginder
Maharashtra Govt announces 10 Lakhs each for Agarkar and Rohit Sharma
Karnataka Govt announces 5 Lakhs each for Venkatesh Prasad and one player (forget his name)
Kerala Govt announces 5 Lakhs Sreesanth
Jharkhand Govt announces Jharkhand Ratna award for Dhoni (still contemplating monetary award)
Delhi Government announces 5 Lakhs each to Sehwag and Gambhir
It is still flowing in... By a conservative estimate each member will be "crorepati"π
What does Pakistani team get for demonstrating the fightmanship of highest quality?
Effigies being burnt in Karachi
Afridi and Yunis declared traitors
Pakistani Team Murdabaad being chanted across the nation
Imagine: a difference of one....yes ladies and gentlemen...one shot.. could be this whopping.π
Yes there is lil gap between success and failure..so failures should never be looked down....they are source of inspiration!
reg the reaction of people !!!!
Just shows 2 brainless nations.....with brainless people...with brainless administrators.....
These morons..donot bother about the army people in their nations..who die for the sake of their country...
These morons...donot react when there is some tragedy..human error and natural calamities..much..but for cricket they react in a huge manner..what about other sports....they are also important know!! what about basic education??? OK! the poverty in these nations is unfathomable..cannot be taken away easily..but the amount spent on these cricketers is not a less amount..they won a world cup..its good but they did'nt win a war!!! Sorry for over reacting....but these type of manic adoration to cricket really bothers me and makes me feel sad!
@ your comment highlighted in Blue: I would be more careful before declaring the 2 societies as societies of morons. Are you branding yourself a moron or all of us together declared as moron?... Sorry in advance if I misunderstood your comment highlighted in blue. But if my understanding is right, I just disagree with you 100%. If my understanding is incorrect, please tell me and I shall edit my comment here.
@ your comment highlighted in Orange: Myth, a World championship is a world championship and must be rewarded to the fullest. The Nehru Cup winners were rewarded but not to this extent because Nehru Cup, in mind is not even close to the World Championship. I highly doubt if the Indian Soccer player don't end up being crorepatis if they as much as just reached the 32 qualifiers of the world cup (forget about winning the world cup).π If they ever won that world cup, they will be ruling this nation like nobody has ever dreamt of. RajyaWardhan Singh was awarded 50 Lakhs by the central gov't for his silver winning performance in Olympics. Why forget that? Chances are he would have gotten crore or more if he had ended up winning the gold. In contrast, a gold winning US athelete makes "nothing" when compared to NBA or MLS or NFL stars. The 7 times Olympic Champion Michael Phelps vanished from media 2 months after the olympics.π

Myth,
There is a saying... 2 wrongs don't make a right. If the administrators can't correct their loan system doesn't mean that they should stop giving awards to those who bring pride and glory to the country just because they missed their KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) somewhere else. That doesn't sound right. I am not absolving the same administrators of their misdeeds. But it is one thing to identify a few chosen award deserving ones than weeding the needle from the haystack of farmers who are creditworthy. In absence of a credit rating system, I can see how awesome that task could be. To me, creating the election identification card is a step in the right direction which hopefully, in future, will give way to more systematized menthod of establishing identification of creditworthy people and a system of follow up and follow through.
But if I was an administrator, I wouldn't wait for that day to happen to reward the deserving peopleπ. Maybe it is my captalist instinct here speaking but I do believe in the "survival of the fittest" theory.π
Just a point of viewπ.
And also, USA is not a country of foolish people to invest billions in a country of MORONSπ.

Indian Cricket Board is the most wealthiest one in the world and it is not a Govt. Organization.Yes, it is peoiple's money but not collected as tax. After the commercialisation of the Cricket they got this much money. Please think about the old cricketers, some of them are not well off. Govt.s offers are only offers at least in the case of Kerala. Some of the back dated promises are yet to fulfill.
