Cricket as it happens is mostly played in commonwealth countries and what are commonwealth countries but those nations which were formerly enslaved by the British Empire - as if the gift of this colonial exploitation was a fond association to reminisce the glory of the days of global plunder. Yet when I check the history of cricket there is evidence that the bat and ball games originated ancient civilizations, and so the industrial age enslavement and the facts of Empire rule do not matter. After all, what is sport if it wasn’t fueled by some rivalry and some deeper history.

Look at soccer, is Celtic vs Rangers a football game or a battle of soft power that echoes the relationship between catholics and protestants, or England vs Scotland - have noticed how excited Scots get when their identity is reconfirmed against a nation that lives in the dreams of being a “footballing power” which cannot even beat Croatia today. It is time England began enjoying playing soccer with commonwealth nations, at least they have a chance against India, Pakistan and maybe Australia.

Sport in IMHO is an extremely important thing to think about because it fits into the context of the 21st Century - and just as empires and industrial ages defined the relevance of sport to the human condition, so it is that we must see how it relates to the 21st Century mind.

Not that the 21st Century mind is alive and in full flow. Sport becomes an intelligence when it informs us of the absurdity of nationality, when we actually learn at an individual level how to harness its excellence (because we are watching excellence when we are watching professional sport) and how it relates to the powerful way it transforms a society and how one can personally enhance through it as an energy rather than as a time passing distraction.

If due attention is paid to sports at a much deeper level of significance, within it lies keys to define what freedom is and what freedom isn’t and it is the only language that allows emotion to resonate without it becoming the reason to create local, national or global conflict - for sport is an intelligent mechanism to define our animalistic competitive desires, but it is also a construction where people come together to raise the bar on standards of performance and somewhere in that exists something that we can learn from, not just simply enjoy.

OK India won something in 1983, and England won something in 1966 and the US hope to win something in any year to improve merchandising and media payback opportunities. When it comes thinking about sports, has anyone ever thought about people in Malawi. Simply read the opening lines of the Wikipedia entry about sport in Malawi

“Athletics in Malawi has been shaped by its history as a colony in the old British Empire; the most popular sports come from Britain.”

How far have we really come as 21st Century thinkers my friends, how far have we really come?
