I remember her sitting beside me with a page torn out of a book, marking all the fielding locations as we listened to the WI-India Test match on the radio. If I am not mistaken, it was early morning.<br /><br />P.S. My Mom grew up with 6 cricket mad male siblings.:)<br /><br />Cheers,Viswanathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03511419586643916500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134440631193335724.post-20503717625838840332009-08-10T22:39:07.261+05:302009-08-10T22:39:07.261+05:30she thinks he has more back aches,knee niggles tha...she thinks he has more back aches,knee niggles than she has ever had,<br />although she might not have played anywhere near the 600 odd 1st class matches that sachin has played.<br />but trying to get that through to her is something i haven't been successful at.pRAFshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00591403427362214106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134440631193335724.post-12976901225097160662009-08-10T22:30:06.263+05:302009-08-10T22:30:06.263+05:30Thanks Prafs! :)

When I moved to UK, I could not understand what the big fuss was about football either. An ex-colleague was actually depressed because he was not able to get tickets to watch a small town team's game!! I don't think I would be that depressed if I was not able watch a Rewa vs Satna cricket match...Meghahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00192011739394095016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134440631193335724.post-4579724857645767102009-08-10T16:52:24.230+05:302009-08-10T16:52:24.230+05:30NC,

I guess it is because they are not "expected" to be much into sports whereas boys are?<br /><br />Not much interest in the eves teams - That is something I think affects all team games in all countries. Football, cricket, Hockey, you name it. The eves may be better off facility-wise in other countries as compared to the Indians. But I dont think people care much about them. Lack of good coverage I guess.Meghahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00192011739394095016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134440631193335724.post-58420778761476086452009-08-10T16:10:04.345+05:302009-08-10T16:10:04.345+05:30Am a male ... can't be bothered listening to/w...Am a male ... can't be bothered listening to/watching cricket ... this was a huge source of angst during my teen years ... relocated 2 Europe ... realised that it was OK & that soccer was indeed MUCH more fulfilling to watch/play/revere... returned to home shores ... everybody lived happily ever after!<br />PS- Did not succeed in weaning my progeny off cricket but like I said I'm OK if they're OK!sraghunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304306613014091973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134440631193335724.post-20249540124718068232009-08-10T13:58:12.315+05:302009-08-10T13:58:12.315+05:30Megha, Mum's the word.
