Why patron Indian Cricketers ?

Aussies are the all time favourites for the cricket lovers. They are considered to be the most arrogant lot. (But, they have the right to be so. ) they are the most favourite of mine today, not for their criekcting skills, but for the humane touch. Australia have donated their prize money for winning the second Test against Pakistan to a fund for the tsunami victims in Asia. It need not be for India, but let them go to the one in more need. They were the first to show their sense of responsibility as humans.

Pakistanis have donated 25 percent of their match fees from the Sydney Test match against Australia to aid victims of the Indian Ocean tsunami.

Even the South African team has come forward to donate.

What did the Indian Team do from their recent earning in Bangladesh? Nothing so far. The BCCI has donated 1 crore to the PMNRF. But, what of its employees? What of Sachin Tendulkar? What has he done with all his money? If not at times of need, is it ever going to be of any help ?

The Indian cricketers are playing a fund raising match. Is it enough to show their solidarity? I beg to say NO.

Are these men worthy of our patronization ?
