INDian Cricket tamasha
It's the year 2022.The scene is setup in a country with world s fastest growing and heavy populated area.Stadium is cleared of all petty shops just for a day so that there little place to play.
ACT ONE
The Indian football team are closer to the FIFA WC than ever before , having risen from rank 146 to 142. Cricket is now a truly international sport with as many as 15 countries showing any interest in it and a staggering 13 countries with Test status. At ranks 13 and 12 , Zimbabwe and Bangladesh are showing great promise and causing significant. India at rank four - which means ahead of as many as nine teams ! - are The superpower of cricket and are led by Mr bharathratna,Milkman Dhoni,BE,MBBS,Mtech,Commerce,PUC(free degrees from various institutions as they couldnt pay in cash) .With power come great responsibility and abilities.They have renamed BCCI as ICC and given a tagline....balle balle.No,copyright stuff doesnt work here,this is India mere bhai. ICC(R) who cares.
The team is completely evolving and has setup some baranches to do the R & D for the team. For example , Bald ViR and Bold GotI(no not the goti goti this is player GoTi) now open the batting in each match across every format of the game : Test,ODI,T20,T10 and F5(of coarse delhi team is optional,leave spectators, even player s r going home after their batting is done).Srilanka cricket board takes a loan from worldbank to pay their players
But hidden in the shadows cast by the brilliance of this team is trouble lurking in the form of a rift between Bald ViR and Milkman. We come in during a particularly heated confrontation :
Bald ViR : " What is this rotation policy ? " Milkman : " Roation policy is where u rotate things around which are useless " Bald ViR : " But me and GoTi dont need this rotation...u go home nd do it there...dont get these things to field" Milkman : " Yeah you go opening and we have to come as runner for u?,Dont we get tired when we bat?" Bald ViR : " Whatever,but this rotation policy makes no sense" Milkman : " Look, you oldies are slow on the field" Bald ViR : "yeah and u r slow in batting.We atleast dont bat to get average marks!" Milkman : " And your overseas average is now under 10 !" Bald ViR : "so what your 12th grade mark s card showed the same average, u ticket collector.... I'll make an ODI 200 against Mngwambamamba. Home series" Milkman : " Mouthing tall claims ! At least you can't put a foot in it. No footwork" Bald ViR: " God ! He's being rude to me again ! " GOD :- "did someone call me?...boost is the secret of my energy" God is the greatest batsman ever of the modern era. Has been for a while. He has 199 international centuries to his name. The 200th one has eluded him for over a year now though.His son has already played 12 matches with the legend GOD (irritated) : " Can you guys leave me alone please ? I need time to think" Milkman (deferentially) : " But of course , BOOST bhai ! The 200th , huh...wow. Er , BosST bhai , you know i was thinking , ..er , i mean, any retirement plans after getting that one...? i mean ,of course...." THE AUDIENCE MOB THE STAGE AND LYNCH ViCo END OF PLAY
Dravid watches this silently for another ten years patiently.
