so the news i heard from some distressed colleagues is that it is a 3-day national mourning. well, i left watching cricket when sachin was clean bowled in world cup. the pressure was too much. it can get you sometimes.
well, if performance under pressure is exempt, i am a world class batsman, bowler, wicketkeeper and fielder, even an umpire!
so, what should we do?
from test matches to one-days, one-days to t20, we keep changing the format in hopes to win.
here are the future trends in indian cricket.
next in line is the F5 (Freaking 5 over) match.
if that doesn't do the magic, it will be OBMs (One Ball Match).
if that too doesn't bring us much needed glory, then we will go for the last format the OTM (One Toss Match) where a single toss will decide the winner, and horoscope pundits will be the main stars, to decide which of the 11 players should go and say "heads", the lucky chum!
and the biggest loser in this all is not india, but the indian ad market. so for their sake, there is a last solution, which will guarantee that india plays all the matches till the end.
presenting the IVW or India Versus World, where india plays every team, even twice if the sponsors feel like it. and gets points for winning, losing costs nothing.much like 'whose line is it anyways' "where everything is made up and points don't matter."
this is called win-win-win situation. we get lot of cricket, they get lot of money, the world doesn't care!
don't play to win or lose, play it for the money honey!
show me the money!
