Indian Cricket: Arre Bhaiyya Aal Izz Well…

Contrary to what people think, Indian cricket is still going through one of its greatest and golden ages.

This is borne out by the priority of Indian cricketers who are an extremely happy bunch of millionaire celebrities, no matter how much you poor ole fans fret and fume…

Priority No. 1: Ads.
Status: Lifetime World Champions.

Priority No. 2: IPL.
Status: Top of the Pops in the Rich List. MS Dhoni’s CSK current IPL champions  with the Champions League to boot!

Priority No. 3: ODIs.
Status: Current World Champions, till 2015. (Forgotten kya?)

Priority No. 4: T20s.
Status: Inaugural World Champions. World Cup coming up in this year itself, if we win that, then even small mentions of England or Australia tour will be banned.

Priority No. 5: Accumulating Records.

Status: Virtual World Champions. Sachin alone has more records than the entire Australian team put together.

Priority No. 6: Test Cricket.
Status: We were World Champions for close to 2 years weren’t we? Can’t be champions forever now can we? Belt up and get a life you always complaining and never satisfied Indian fan!

Post Script…
Now sing with me… Arre Bhaiyya Aal Izz Well…

Today’s Defeat: Just another hole in The Wall.

∙ Yesterday’s Statement: Indian cricket is dead.
Today’s Question: Is there life after death?

∙ The demand for two-tier Test cricket has been around for ages and it’s finally time to implement it in the interest of saving Tests.
Zimbabwe, Bangladesh and India will be in one Tier and all the rest in the other.

∙ Since Sachin wasn’t scoring a century, the Indian team decided to do it for him. They did pretty well actually and the other 10 players together scored 141 runs.

∙ Indian Test Cricket has just become a fictional character like Santa Claus, Superman and the Mahashatak.

∙ The biggest positive of the first day of the Test match at Perth was that play finally ended.

∙ There was this elephant in a dark room. Many wise men went and touched it. One touched the trunk, one touched the ear, another the tail and yet another the leg and so on…
Since they all touched different parts of the body, they all described it differently and started arguing violently over what the elephant really was.
Then the Election Commission came and ordered the elephant to be covered with a large cloth and told all the squabbling parties to go home!

∙ For the last 10 years, TV news channels have been singing…
Why this why this Narendramo D?

∙ First Indian planner: The divide between the rich and poor is increasing thanks to this great growth we are seeing.
Second Indian planner: Then why don’t we slow down growth itself to stop the rich-poor divide?
