National Sports Day: The best sport in Qatar.

MWA1
By MWA1

If you want to see the real sport in Qatar go Friday mornings to one of the large car parks (for instance Lu-Lu opposite Hamad Hospital, or behind Al Saad Football Stadium) and watch cricket. Teams of expat workers from India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan playing for the love of sport, the game and competition. The matches are played in the spirit of great sportsmanship with the competitive rivalry you would except from nations with a great cricketing history.

On the other hand, driving in a reckless manner with no awareness of your surroundings, no common sense, no judgment and a total disregard for the safety of your child passengers or other road users does not count as a sport.

that travel at 80km in the fast lane and have no directional sense at round a bout's are far more of a nuisance than the land cruiser's!

...when a Land Cruiser is closing up my car,,, I give way quickly & you see after that myself & all traffic runs smooth, I will not regard it as ''reckless''.

Tact : Give way to bigger & faster vehicles well in time, quickly, let them pass & follow them till another one is behind. Do not cause delay to others,move to right, recklessness will just disappear.

Cricket is the most stupid game.

Without risk there is not fun. Speed thrills but kills, who cares have to die one day.
