Is it really a game played by eleven fools and watched by eleven thousand fools?
Why is that however bad our team performs, the stadium for the next match is as crowded as ever?
What makes us sit at the edge of our seats for every ODI that is played?
What makes us check the scores every other minute even in between a hectic work schedule?
What makes us treat cricketers as Gods when there are actually more people doing better work out there?
What makes the cricketers in
I am actually surprised I never wrote about cricket in any of my posts earlier… My mom would be the best witness for how crazy I have been! But for the past few months, I have not been able to watch much of the game, though I tried following what is happening… reasons, partly the time factor and I guess more importantly Sachin wasn’t playing… I somehow didn’t feel the team was complete without Sachin. Today, I finished an assignment in the morning, coz I wanted to see him play and was a bit disappointed that he was rested for a match played on a Sunday! But the game has changed… I did enjoy today’s match, watching Gambhir and Dravid display a lot of energy and commitment in the way they played and for once, I could appreciate the hard work that was displayed out there by the team.
But still, the sensation when I watch Sachin scoring a century, Schumi wining a grandprix and Sampras winning a grand slam cannot be changed by any other feat!
And by way, I am stepping into the nervous nineties today (I mean the number of posts in my blog :-))
I would like to see Sachin in few matches and score more runs than watch him play every match and get out for a few runs.Chappel and others want him to stay fit for the 2007 cup,where Sachin will win the cup for us.
Hey the blog is really good. it is preety insightful. please keep it alive. But no where u mentioned about ur past. i mean what experience you have and why u thought an MBA will be apt for you.
Anyway thanx for all the info mam
@indianblogger: I strongly support your thought and did not say that I want Sachin to play inspite of injuries... just that I am happy whenever I see him play :-)
@ramki: hmmm... let me not defend schumi, but attack you in a different way! We all know what McLaren and Kimi manage to achieve or manage to lose inspite of Ferrari and Schumi's hibernation? Wait for some more months and I am sure I would see the second sensation too come back as good as the first one :-)
i remember u givinh chocolates for sachin's b'day :))
