Cricket: one billion Indians can't be wrong!

[axver]

I remember I once made a remark that the quickest way to kill interest in a blog entry is to mention International Relations theory in the opening sentence. I have no doubt that "Australia achieve 122-run victory in a thrilling Test as India lose their last three wickets in five balls" would actually be more effective. Especially if you're like

Dude, review Nick Drake's video collection.

How about I review his sleeping pill collection?

... was that as bad as the Hitler joke?

No, you need to work harder, like hanging around with Ian or dropping nukes in Command And Conquer with Truman.

"Hanging around with Ian" is the worst pun I have ever heard. You've been working on that one for a while, haven't you?

Australians are Cheaters!!

[anonymous]

In view of the farse in the second test match and ugly cricket played by the austrialians, Indian board should pull back their team from australia and severe all cricketing realtionships with theam. Australians must be banned from playing cricket for next two years in all international level by ICC. Austrilians should not be allowed to bring the glorious game of cricke to any more disrepute. They must be taught moral lessons and righteousness and asked to do public service like public toilet cleaning. Cheaters are punished under law. And if you are cheating in the full view of 100 crore people we can't allow it. They are Australian crickets are criminals in the view of hundred crore Indians. If they go out of the stadium they could be arrested for con'ing the Indian team and the whole world.

Also umpires should be criminally procecuted and later publically executed.

Re: Australians are Cheaters!!

I don't care much for cricket, but as a West Indian and someone who hasn't been on livejournal for months, I felt obliged to comment.

So there.
