As we are just coming out of the IPL daze (what else do you call something that keeps men away from news & women away from the daily soaps) and into the European Championship, here are a couple of questions that spring up:
1. Why does it require to re-invent the game of cricket every 5 years or so? The format of football has been a constant for decades now. Were the makers of football exceptionally far-sighted to have invented a timeless game?
2. Both cricket and football came to us via the Brits. So why does cricket occupy such a large part of our psyche while football continues to languish.
Any thoughts?
Note to all Hyderabad-based participants: Please let us know ASAP if you had a holiday on Friday because of the bandh etc. and expect to work on the 14th.

Cricket had patronage of various Kings, Royals and officers of the time. Football I guess had no such backing.
