Those were d days.........
Open the news paper, switch on d news channel, you've sure shot encounter with IPL saga, Lalit Modi, Sharad pawar, etc. In my opinion IPL has become INDIAN PATHETIC LEAGUE rater than INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE. I even failed to understand What is so premier & moreover it is league of politicians, business houses rather than players. It has really disturbed the form of cricket. nowadays randomness overpowered d real technique.
Thinking on these lines I reacalled d days when I was very much fascinated by cricket. those were days when I was in middle school. to b precise 1994-2001 ( Hold on I was not in middle school for so long time) But i'm talking in general. Real enthusiasm abt this game started in 1996 world cup. I didnt missed a single match. I really cried when we lost to Sri lanka in semi finals. in 34.2 overs we were at 120/8.(hats off to my memory ) We literally gave up. If u remember guys, Vinod Kambli started crying on d ground itself. & after wathcing that may father furiously switched off d TV with dozens of obesesive words. I felt really bad that time
Another stunning moment come to my mind was the greatest Innings played by Sachin in coca cola cup at sharjah in 1998. what a great innings it was!! I still remember the faces of Australian players specially Damian flaming & shane warne. Yesterday I was watching the glimpses of that match & I was equally excited as that time.
Watching sachin Vs. shaane warne, Mcgrath, shoaib akhtar is a grand treat anytime. plz recall world cup of 2003. What a six hit by sachin to shoaib akhtar to wel come him in his first spell. oh gosh.. I can still fell that moment while writing this.
There are many such moments. but year by year my interest in cricket in largely reduced. I don't know why?? nowadays I cant watch 20-20 also. In my childhood I used to remember complete bating & bowling line up of India, Australia, Pakistan, west indies. But today I cant even tell u who r members of Mumbai Indians. :)). My friends were so surprised when they come to know that I didn't watched single match of IPL of any of 3 seasons. Its not about IPl but true about One day also. In Nagpur there is International stadium. But I didn't felt that I should go & watch some matches ( or have entertainment in case of IPL).
That may be perhaps due to malpractices in criclet, overdose of matches,. same critics same praising, or lack of time may be a reason.. Involvement in other youthful activities ( now don't ask about it) has significantly diminished my interest in this addictive game.
It is said that ,in every 5 yrs our perception towards things change. so Before 5 yrs I was damn addicted to cricket. 2day i'm least interested. now let see what happen in next 5 years....... Looking forward now. after all........
EVERY ADDICTION IS NOT INJURIOUS TO HEALTH.....!!!
