Read the paragraph and answer the questions that follow:
Cricket in South Asia is a Carnivalesque, festive game. It carries not merely the baggage of competition and
achievement, but is also a participatory cultural event that evokes images of religious festivals, convivial social
gatherings, picnics and theatre. It is now gradually becoming a substitute for war, a means of redeeming self
esteem and expressing xenophobia, and a depot of weird conspiracy theories. No country now loses a game
because the other side is better, a country loses only because its cricketers and cricket administrators are under
patriotic, corrupt, greedy or self-centered.
Unfortunately for ultra nationalists and fortunately for the rest, cricket is one game in which the best training,
organization and preparation do not yield corresponding results. It is a subversive game that rebels against the
productivity principle on which is build the world of globalised capitalism. Luck plays a major role in the final
outcome of a match or series. In this respect, cricket is unlike football, tennis or chess. The grandeur of cricket and
the cliched reference to its glorious uncertainties come from a cultivated ignorance of this inner contradiction in
the game. Cricketers and their fans-to-say nothing of the experts-have to learn to live with the unpredictability
without getting overly judgemental or paranoiac. All games have some built-in uncertainties, only cricket has
turned the gracious acceptance of this into a measure of character.
Let us not forget that in cricket the 22 players involved are never on the field at the same time. Consequently, one
team may play in full sunshine, While the other may have to play under an overcast sky when the ball begins to
swing. One team may bat on a green top, the other on a wearing pitch. You can never truly equalise the outer
conditions for the two teams. So a cricketer not merely plays against the opposition, but also against his own fate.
That is one reason why it is typically Indian or if you prefer, South Asian game.

money, hard training and ruthless professionalism will pay predictable results, and the results will be a pure
