Join the caper :)


Long saturdays and sundays before the Tv.....

Responses in monosyllables...

Not really bothering about what is on plate.....

Snacks are always laid a red carpet.....

Any requests for errands outside the house (or should we restrict it to the living room alone) responded with utter shock.....

Price of televisions and radios slashed....

Dhoni, Sachin and Sehwag in every other advertisement.....

And yay! zoozoo is back!!! :)

So did u experience any of the above yet? I can hear u sigh :) but whether we like it or not cricket will be forced on us through TV, radio, newspapers, magazines, grocery store boy, the aunty opposite ur house etc. The ICC World Cup is here.... literally... as it is happening in India too. The World Cup kicked off colorfully on 19th and will go on till 2nd April. As the days progress the matches will get interesting. And people will get interesting too. Everyone will become an expert of cricket. When the second batting teams looses 2 or 3 wickets successively, even i can quip in with a 'they should have batted first'.... How profound?? :)

But yes that's how this game is. It just grows on us. Even if u don't understand the entire cricketing language it is still interesting to watch. And in our country it is a religion and as in every religion everyone has an opinion of it. That is agreeable. So don't feel left out.... join the fun.... soon u would be saying..... 'this young fellow is the future captain of the team'. :) All is fair in sports too...... :)

I would be playing...err....praying for India to win.... for Dhoni :) and Sachin..... one of the best long time players of Indian Cricket.... sad if we cannot win a World Cup with him in the team :(

So do u think that the Third Umpire Referrals are needed?? :))
