Zee News was saying in bold "Exclusive coverage only on ZEE", then i switched over to NDTV and it said in bold "Exclusive coverage only on NDTV", then i switched to Star and it said "Exclusive coverage only on Star" and so on. We have about 40 news channels now out here and everytime a story breaks out - it saw exclusively only on that channel.

Sometimes it is unfair.<br /><br />But the way they promote the teams and players is insane. I sometimes catch NDTV at my bro's place, and it's amazing how the Indian team's news comprises a good portion of the entire news. Similarly for Zee, and so many other channels.<br /><br />I remember when Zee was covering Sehwag's wedding many years back. They were interviewing throngs of people just standing outside, giving their tributes to Sehwag. One guy read out a poem he had written - Multan ka Sultan or something like that.<br /><br />The reason I say that fan/media worship is not hot is because some reality is hitting - the players are not bigger than the team, and the team is not bigger than the sport.<br /><br />The intense media/fan obsession is a negative for Team India. So a dose of reality would be good. <br /><br />The obsession is unwarranted, the violent tongue-lashing is undeserved. A middle ground of love-hate needs to be found.SledgeHammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10118623964622205754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713921718473352259.post-52085973260049158242009-06-22T16:20:22.776+04:002009-06-22T16:20:22.776+04:00Whats Hot - Pakistan Cricket mate
Regarding your ...Whats Hot - Pakistan Cricket mate<br /><br />Regarding your posting on media/fan worship of Indian team, well i dont know about world media but this T20 our Indian media screwed our team. Even before the tournament began they created the unnecessary controversy saying Dhoni and Sehwag are fighting. So I put Indian media on Whats NOT. You should have seen the bashing they gave the Indian team recently.Raydennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713921718473352259.post-63644047624170813692009-06-22T09:53:58.688+04:002009-06-22T09:53:58.688+04:00me too lol@Vettori's mouth.

There has been too much posturing by Vettori fans on the 'thinking cricketer', 'librarian', etc. Amy S comes to the mind. obviously, its gone to his head, and he has started taking himself seriously as a thinker and articulator of the game's rules.
