sports show the mentality of the playing nation

Posted on at


Dear friends here i am again want to write something about the link between the  attitudes shown by players in the field and common attitudes of the nation from which they belong . I know this is a strange thing to say but as i myself is deep observer and i do observe very minute details of events so this is what i feel and here in this blog i will give some aspects in favour of my observation.

let us take the example of the cricket which is most popular sport in our country. If you closely observe the attitude and behaviour of the people playing it you will easily infer that what is the attitude and culture of their motherland has. Lets first of all talk about Pakistan Cricket team, let me ask you a very easy question which is , what is the most common attitude our team do show in the field and by which name world knows our cricket team? the answer is : ' we are the most unpredictable team ' yes you surely would have heard this argument i can bet on this. But have you ever give it a thought that y is it so ? why other cricket nations are not like this ? why other teams like Australia , India and Sirilanka are pretty much consistent as compared to us ??.. the answer lies in the fact that we as a nation are unpredictables , we do not stick to the things for long .. amazed ? let me explain.. we as a nation are never contented to our governments and constitution .. in our martial law era we become fed after 3 to 4 years and after that  we start cryng about it and strive for the democracy ... but after 2 to 3 years of democracy we start crying for it too and start praying for the martial law ... this shows our inconsistency present in a whole nation. not satisfied ??

let me give you another example and another attitude .. what is the situation or condition of the players which were once the crown of our cricket e.g Javaid Mianda , Imran Khan , Wasim Akram , Abdul Qadir , Inzamam-ul=Haq , Muhammad Yousuf any many more the names of which we barely remember.. we did not make any benefit from there .. most of them left team in very bad conditions and way .. we never gave them respect they deserve, we as a nation never give them the place of our benefector .. same is the case with the flying bird of Asia ABDUL KHALIQ !!  most of us even do not know his name !! same is the case with our national hero DR.Abdul Qadeer Khan !! same is the case with Quaid-e-azam muhammad ali jinah , and same is the case with fatima jinah .. same is the case with our other legend which after their golden era become blur under heavy dust of the time and we felt happy in forgetting them . 

in this small blog is just tried to explain some common attitudes of ours by comparing it to the cricket .. in my next i will explain the attitudes of other teams and their nations .. 

hope you like it .
