On the death bed of Indian Cricket : An Obituary


11 November 2008 (A day after the end of the famous Nagpur test between India and Australia).

Although I have not been a die hard cricket fan in the last 5 years, and I have practically ignored most of the series India has played.

Although I am not a Bengali who takes pride in calling Dada the prince of Kolkata nor i am a Kanadigga who considers jumbo as a youth icon. I am feeling a sense of emptiness with Saurav Ganguly’s & Anil Kumble’s retirement.

It feels like my childhood has finally ended.

Now I understand the true meaning of the song “Losing my Religion” , needless to say I was talking about cricket when I said religion.
