  • What Sports is India Good At?

    Now, this isn't trolling or anything. Really

    It's just funny how Chinese are all industrial about sports and have achieved lots of gold medals at the Olympics and similar championships.

    India on the other hand, with comparable population, hasn't really been prominent in sports. How likely is that anyway

    Via sheer size of the population pool to choose from, India should rock in most disciplines it touches with a stick.

    Come to think of it, how fair is it anyway for huge countries to have only one football or basketball team?

    Anyway, is India good at any sports, if so which, and have they won any medals?

    Now, I'm no indian, but indian people I know are big fans of cricket, so I assume they as a nation must be pretty good at it...

              None, alas. Except for cricket, but that's only when the planets are aligned right.

                But, OTOH, we don't measure success of national ideology in terms on number of medals won, and don't take children away from their parents at age 4 to have them practice 14 hours a day for the next 14 years of their lives

                  Guys, how did the cricket go against South Africa in the end? I've watched bits of the test series here and there, but I didn't get the big picture.

                  I'll be at the Lords test match in the summer. We are complete crap at the moment so you can probably roll us over.

                        I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

                          I thought India took hockey seriously. That's 'field' hockey, not the icy stuff.

                              Yeah, but we've sucked at it for the last few years, too. I think the last time we actually won something was the gold medal at the 1998 Asian Games.
