Okay, so a few weeks ago I shared a goofy post regarding how difficult the sport Cricket is to understand… well I never gave up and I recently experience a breakthrough!
Last week I sat down to watch Pakistan vs. Indian in the semifinal match of the Cricket World Cup… and I was a man determined. And you know what? I understand the game!
I do! I really do! I don’t understand all the nuances of the sport, BUT I now understand enough to follow the score, understand what the announcers are talking about, understand all the crazy numbers at the bottom of the screen… and I even picked up enough to understand a bit of the strategy too.
And you know what? I learned enough to appreciate the sport… all eight and a half hours of it. It’s actually a pretty interesting sport once you know what’s going on.
And you know what? I’d watch another match… I might even be included to go to a match. Suriname has a team… perhaps I should start gearing up to be a fanatical Suriname Cricket fan.
That could be epic.

So did you understand it enough to get all excited over it?
My dad was in the stadium watching the math Live! I couldnt go.. No leaves else Mohali a mere 5 hrs away I would have definitely gone :)
Ask me your questions.. Doesnt matter how silly or intelligent they are.. I'll answer them all. You cannot stay in the Indian sub-continent and not be a part of the whole cricket excitement :p
