To the Indian cricket team:
It’s okay. We lost, so what? It’s just a game. No one died. You didn’t go around asking us to support you. It’s really our mistake that we chose to hype you up and heap pressure on you. According to some rankings, the team was 8th in the world, so we were anyway not expected to go great lengths. Maybe we just were not good enough.
To sponsors of the team:
Ha! Ha! Do you now realise how not to make poor stupid marketing decisions?
To prospective stranglers:
Please spare Mr. Greg Chappell. Thanks.
To Mom & Dad:
I’ll hit bed early from now on.

Today’s hot news…
Serious fight between Pakistani players and Indian players, for the window seats in the airoplane…

Ganguly = Tiger!!
Sewag = Lion!!
Dhoni = Killer!!
Srilankans = Good Cricket Players!!!
I don’t take this ” will hit bed early ” type statements. It will now be something else and the same ” hit bed late ” syndrome to get up with bleary eyes – as usual
Well actually there is a conspiracy behind all this. It is the handiwork of the rivals of the official sponsors of the tournament. They couldn’t digest the fact that the official sponsors (broadcasters and others) would make a killing if India were to make to to the semis and beyond, Therefore as a part of a well executed strategy they scuttled the Indian ship at the harbour itself.
Another is that some militant outfits based in our unfriendly neighbouring country had secretly threatened that when their host country couldn’t make it beyond the first round their rival country shouldn’t be basking in any sort of honour.
A third is that, since cricket is immensely popular in India and has to pick up pace in many other countries, it is fair that they should be given a chance to surge ahead. Afterall the market was fast saturating here. Somewhat like the phenemenon that led to a deluge of Indian beauty queens winning international crowns.
Fourth, the usual suspects. The bookies. With India playing, a survey carried out by the underground bookmakers found that betting in India is driven by patriotic spirit which is against the spirit of betting. There was too much money being put on India, making their graphs very skewed and their entire game uninteresting. Therefore, the exit of India is for the better of the game (of the illegal bookies).
Fifth, it was due to the pressure of the bosses (yours and mine and everyoneelse’s). Tired of employees coming in late or half-awake to work, they all got together and calculated that the loss from lower productive workforce was greater than the potential loss incurred by India’s exit from the World Cup.
There are more unsubstantiated causes behind the debacle, but a comment should be kept brief.
Guruji,
I like your mom’s comment.. i guess its true… we are afterall “Reason”able Men, ain’t we?…
