why make haste when the sun shines?

Ok pomeez, so what if you own the printing press of the green bucks? [Pounds or euros you decide for yourself!] so what if you started playing this game with cucubura ball and pined willows a way too early……. even before when we were busy learning to handle the bat? Now, this is our game in a true sense, that had aaccidentally been discovered somewhere in the meadows of your country. Cricket is our passion; it’s an obsession here in India. It’s a religion we are totally fanatic about [no matter what harsha advices] we love to go to the stadium, we swarm in numbers to cheer [read roar] for our star cricketers. We smear our faces with tricolours and go tendlya….tendlya….with ear-splitting decibles .our cricketing heroes are venerated here when they make us proud by showcasing their dexterity in front of a full house. And Their houses are pelted if they showcase a dismal play in a crunch situation and make us shed tears. But that’s how we are …wildly passionate about this game…..that’s what the passion is for us…..ye indiya ka cricket hai bhidoo!

We come home early from our offices if it’s India and Pakistan in the final. We are hooked on to the cricket commentary on radio if not glued to our television sets. We control possession of the remote control and make sure that we do not miss a single move that sachin tendulkar displays while facing some thunderbolts. [So what if other female members of the family miss an episode of Kyunki saas bhi……in which Tulsi is likely to be killed thrice?] That’s how this game is, we are cricket crazy nation and there are no half measures to our craziness. Now having heard this rattle…I beg an answer from you my pommy friend…..

Is this how cricket in England is? [ I doubt]

There are talks floating around that, you guys are coming up with [ECB-English cricket board] EPL that is English premier league based on the lines of IPL.

IPL was a huge success here in India because it has everything in it right from jhatkaaz of bollywood to matkaaz of tom-tom girls. The action was not only existed on the field but it was seen and enjoyed off the field as well. We raked in millions in the end but that’s what we [BCCI] are worthy of….that’s what cricket lovers like us are worthy of. Because we thought of money but you guys could smell power. You are planning to spend some billions; i am told, and you are roping in some mega stars as well. If it’s for a cricket it’s fine.[by now we all know cricket is a rich orphan…every one busy milking it] But if you think this an opportunity to belittle BCCI, and if this is a ploy to rein the world cricketing power, [which currently we are…..any doubt?] and if we brown-skinned have been sore in your eyes, and you think this is the right time to introduce EPL in order to extract more than what BCCI did through IPL……you are too fast…or for that matter….very, very slow indeed…bad timing mate.

Make sure more thought process goes into it. Rather than thinking about the money generating venture that you think this format of the game is potential of [20-20].

It has happened in the past too.

I dont understand these variations at all !

when you speak,you speak sense. when we do…we scream….

we commit murder when we retaliate…..you bring revolution by mass killing…..

we take from you we steal, and you take from us, you call it inspiration!

Now the times have changed, and the tables have turned. And if EPL is just a money making venture which is “inspired” from IPL then make it work well…other wise it will just be a storm before the lull.
