and here we go again

Sri Lanka vs India at Dhaka
Tri Nation Tournament (India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh)
5th January 2010

the average indian fan is asking a question for quite some time now. i will come back to the question in a while.

Right now, let’s talk about my roommate. Let’s call him Amar, for fuck’s sake. Let me tell you that he is not a cricket fan. Which means he is not much, considering he lives in Mumbai.

About a few days ago, when India were happily beating Sri Lanka at about the 45 over mark in the first innings of the first ODI at raj400+kot, Amar crept up to me and asked:

“for how fucking long will we keep on playing Sri Lanka”

All i replied with was:

precisely

That my friends, was the question an average indian cricket fan has been asking for quite some time now.

Finally, the tour was over, and the Sri Lankans happily left. Not for home, but to Bangladesh, to welcome us again!

Blast!!!

anyways, we can do nothing to change the fact that Sri Lanka will play India today at Dhaka. So let’s accept it and get on with our wretched lives.

The mood in the team is upbeat as usual, they have been upbeat ever since MSD became skipper. That was more than 2years ago. The drugs should have been wearing off by now. Maybe they are given fresh doses every quarter.

Sri Lankans are tired as usual. Tired of too much cricket. Tired of playing India. Tired of bad pitches. Tired of not getting the referral system. Tired of a well-read skipper. Shit tired.

Amar, if this really is your real name, no offence meant.
