The Indian Cricketing Season

There’s been lot of cricket going on this season and fortunately the Indian Cricket Team get a month’s break before the hosting a test series against the world champs, Australia.


What do the cricketer’s do during this time?

No, they don’t spend their precious little time with their families nor do they spend time holidaying with loved ones on a paradise.


They do the unwanted.

The make themselves available for the domestic circuit of the game.


I have to ask them this question. Haven’t they had enough cricket already?

I mean this season started of with the Asia Cup where the played the start brilliantly and end up losing very, very badly in the final against the Sri Lankan’s and fell like bowling pins against a newcomer called Ajanta Mendis. Then they move on to a tour to Sri Lanka where they played a test and ODI series. Te first test, they looked out of place but came back pretty strongly in the second test. The third one was well contested I must say but victory was with Sri Lanka.

Then followed an ODI series in and against Sri Lanka where the Indians convincingly beat the home team by nullifying the home teams’ brilliant bowling attack.


During all this time they were always complaining for lack in rest. Now they get one and can’t make full use of it and go back and play the sport.


C’mon, it’s just a game.
