Thank You Sachin!
Sachin, oh Sachin,
You always think of us, whether we’re having a good time watching the cricket, or an even better time, not watching the cricket. Today, you did something very special – you made sure we don’t watch the cricket.
This would not have been possible if you were playing for that 50th test hundred. Instead, you played for a forty. What does this say about you – You let us get back to our Diwali lives. How could I have hugged my folks if I was still watching you play? How could I have replied to Happy Diwali SMSes if I was hanging on to your every run? How could I have eaten that barfi? How could I have? How could I have answered that phone call, call of nature doorbell? How? How could I have taken my eyes of you, your fiftieth, no, not even a 39th Diwali could come in my way.
I speak for all Bored Cricket Crazy Indians. Thank You Sachin! Thanks for putting Diwali before your fiftieth test hundred. Tussi great ho!
In the scorecard it should read Sachin caught Happy bowled Diwali. Sounds crazy, hey, it’s Diwali, yaar! Happy to you, you Bored Cricket Crazy Indians, Happy to you Sachin. Happy!
Happy Diwali Prosper Utseya!
And Zim and Bangla and West Indies cricket, you need it more than most.
Now listen hard you Bangalore Royal Challengers
Too bad you lost to the Bushrangers tonight. That’s another IPL team down the drain. Some will argue, that’s where you come from – and money down the drain and brain drain, but those thoughts are downright draining.
Now let’s cut to the chase. You messed up today. And you need to mess up again. On Saturday, 17th October. At least one team will be happy. And it cannot be you.
You guys, even if you win, what do you get – knock another IPL team out of the tournament. What will Lalit Modi say? Hell, what will I say? What will McGrath say, he’s playing after eons, man.
Of course, if you read this, and decide to throw away Saturday’s game, it will amount to fixing. Either way, the Daredevils will fix you. Happy Diwali.
