World Cup
The courteous `Ladies First' call seems to be lost in the `big bad man's world'. Even as eyes across the country were glued to television sets, watching the much-hyped India-Pakistan match at the World Cup, fellow women cricketers participating at the All India Senior National Women's Cricket Championship 2003 longed for audience, playing to virtually empty stands. Anjum Chopra, captain of the Air India team (runner-up at last year's championship), though wished the Indian cricketers good luck, clearly looked dejected by the poor response to the women's championship. "I agree that the male cricketers are worth all the adulation. But we should also get something, if not up to that level. I think that women's cricket still has to go a long way to reach its pinnacle," she said. But Chopra also feels that it has more to do with the mindset of the people. "I feel that people in the country still cannot digest women playing cricket," she felt.
