I picked this off Facebook right after we won the ICC CHAMPIONS TROPHY because its actually true...how many people who claim to love the game actually know anything about it?? and i do not mean players! or IPL teams or their owners....i mean the GAME!!
Yes, I AM a Cricket Lover. I watch it.I Understand it and I LOVE IT!!
And what actually irked me was that people were going crazy getting all excited about the international sports scenario without caring what exactly was happening... no it was because it was INDIA-PAKISTAN..or INDIA-SRI LANKA..it was so crazy!! and all the cricket fanatic could do was sit as a silent spectator at the match for there was a hundred others giving commentary apart from of course the commentators.
well when i finally got over it i was ready to criticize every person at what they did if there was even a slim chance i was better at it.
back to my crash course in cricket....its a game which keeps you at the edge of your seat..it entertains you like none other..a bag of crisps and a bottle of coke...a chilled room with a warm blanket and either your friends or your family all around you!! cheering at a six and groaning at a wicket! and the streets after their favorite team wins... fireworks and dancing!! its all part of the game.
the legends that this game has given is again no joke... DON BRADMAN...SIR VIV RICHARDS...SUNIL GAVASKAR..SACHIN TENDULKAR....RAHUL DRAVID...STEVE WAUGH...WASIM AKRAM...SHANE WARNE... MAHELA JAYAWARDENE..KAPIL DEV.... and which girl hasnt given evrything to see BRETT LEE bowl or to see a VIRAT KOHLI bat??
the game of the British a more refined version of street cricket ...the game each boy plays while growing up..the game each girl wishes she could someday dream of watching ...or being part of..the neighbours shouting through broken window panes and the children scattering like marbles...
this game unites a country..a state..a city and even a street or locality!!
well this game inspires me and thats why i bleed blue but to those who update a status simply because everyone else is think of 5 reasons as to why one would do that though that would deprive me of my pleasure of reading sarcastic status updates!!
