Kazakhstan conceded seven goals in the first half, let India enter their ‘D’ nearly every minute, and allowed a shot at their goal every second minute on average. Yet, their assistant coach smiled politely at the interval and said his team was playing a ‘good game’.
It was hard not to empathise with them. In the hockey universe where competition gets thin beyond the top 15 of the world, Kazakhstan are ranked 87th, below Hungary and just above Zimbabwe — countries that exist as hockey nations in the rankings list but barely play. Kazakhstan last played in the AHF Cup, a second-tier Asian competition where they were spanked 7-1 by Chinese Taipei, another hockey minnow. They are in Rajgir only because Pakistan pulled out followed by Oman, and got barely a week or two to prepare for the continent’s showpiece event, a World Cup qualifier no less.
