Hockey shocker

After the recent debacle in cricket there is another shocking sports debacle China defeat India 3-2 in hockey at the Asian games.

Rightly reported by The Afternoon despatch and courier as
India plunged to the depths of despair after being made to eat humble pie by an unfancied China
Seriously, I have never followed or tracked hockey as much like cricket or tennis.
Even football arouses my interests during the world cup. This news certainly shocked me and kept me wondering why our national sport is Hockey.
Cricket is a religion in India and in Mumbai atleast, there is no other recognised ground sport.
India is already in the dumps with hockey with other nations Netherlands and Germany and even Australia mastering the game.
The recent debacle in cricket raised a furore in the parliament which even Farmers suicide or bad infrastructure could not raise.
