Well, we all love the willow game don't we? It's the shaan, maan aur sammaan of our great country. It is the binding force that unites people all over India, from the snow covered peaks of Kashmir to the multicolored sandy beaches of Kanyakumari. The British sport flows in the veins of every Indian man, woman or child. I feel this is the best gift that the British have given to us.Our dust filled maidaans have produced world class players, right from Ranjit Singhji to our dear old Dhoni. We have seen a few epitomes of perfection, some flawed geniuses, some highs , and some lows..some spats, some patchups. Yeah, Indian cricket has seen it all.
This blog of mine hopes to bring across to all the people out there, a 17 yr old girl's take on everything cricket. I am not here to prove a point. Most of those those who have read my other blog said they were surprised to see a young girl write about cricket.So let me make it clear: I AM NOT A CRICKET PUNDIT.
Now, coming back to cricket..the game is unique in it's own way. No other game has soo many formats. Right from the time it started out as 5-day game to the recently introduced 20-20 format, the game has retained its soul, it's originality.
It's a game going from strength to strength. I believe that cricket had finally exchanged wedding wows with it's longtime partner, entertainment. We are yet to see the impact of their two offsprings, the Indian Cricket League and the Indian Premier League. I am sure that the future holds a lot in store for the two babies.
So, I am waiting for the future........
