India survived Day One at The Oval. Much as it gives me pleasure that India were saved from what was building into another major mauling, it also irks the cricket fan in me.
Well, if it doesn’t in you, better spend some time with some ex-players who do everything for the love of the game…I mean, money just comes by the way.
So unlike most of you, jingoists!, I felt like: why the eff do Andrew Strauss and Alastair Cook have to walk back when they looked like taking India to task and inflicting another humiliation? Just because nature decides to have mercy on India?
Tch tch…
And not that our guys would gain much, except in weight, by cooling their heels in the dressing room – my source Cheaply Live suggests, they’d be polishing off another plate of pie or muffins. Always look at the brighter side – the more they’d have toiled the more they’d have lost weight and grown fitter for the tour to Australia four months from now.
So, to avoid such big loss, I suggest that a retractable roof be put in all cricket stadia. Let the ground be open, but if it rains then the roof can cover the ground allowing the play to continue.
