Some very interesting cricket’s been going on for a few days now. There’s the on-going India v. England Test match. The one between West Indies and New Zealand had been see-sawing this way and that, before a thrilling comeback by NZ on the back of Bond’s efforts. And then the small matter of what is being touted as the best ODI game ever that saw records tumble like dominoes. South Africa chased down the Australia’s 434 to lay the ghosts of the 1999 World Cup to rest.
Cricket has taken center stage, so much so that the Australian Open was rescheduled to not clash with the first Ashes Test later this year. Cricket rules. And all is well with the world.

Umm, it’s Australian Open Golf Championships…not the Tennis Open Championships, which is a MUCH bigger event than its Golf counterpart.

“And all is well with the world”
ROFL.
I disagree. There’s a number that points to all not being well with the world - 872, I think. (Ponting might agree, for once!)

Geez. Thanks for bursting my bubble, Amar and Sukhi. All I wanted was to fantasize for a little while that the world order revolved around cricket. Is that too much to ask?
