I have been watching for 10 minutes... can't quite work it out... something like British Bulldog?

Any cognoscenti on NSC who understand it?

Loving the commentators... and there is an amusing touch of the Benny Hill's about the umpire/referee chap :)

Is that the one where the bloke in the middle has to repeat the same word constantly?

'Attacker' has to try and touch a 'defender' and get back 'home' whilst chanting kabaddi to prove he is holding his breath.

The 'defenders' have to try and stop him getting 'home'.

If a player is touched or doesn't get home, they sit out. If an attacker touches and gets back, he can bring 'out' players back in.

That's as much as I understand.

Thanks... that seems to be what is going on... no obvious chanting or breath-holding going on though... and what's with the hand holding??

WTF was that?! 'Super tackle' animated graphic... is that the Kabaddi equivalent of goal music??

Preferred the old days when it was all on sand

Much as I love the unconventional - I preferred the old days when Sky showed football on Wednesdays. Aberdeen v Celtic doesn't do it for me when there is a Barcelona game happening - and great though kabbadi is I see it as another place holder to mask their loss of substantial rights. Eric Bristow's greatest moments and kabbadi is probably not what I signed up to subscribe for.
