There is at least one more guy who thinks that cricket sucks. Right, it’s a great way to make money, but as a game, it really sucks. Nowadays, I wonder who has the time to watch an entire one day match, forget about a test. Anyways, here is the article by Atanu, on what he thinks about cricket.
I find the jingoistic association of the performance of the team with the pride of the nation fairly distasteful. In my opinion it is a silly game invented by the English idle-rich to pass their worthless time. Not that there is anything wrong in the rich idling their time away between fox hunts and golf. It is their time and their ill-gotten wealth that they are spending. The proof that the game is silly is that the unthinking masses consider it significant. If that was not enough, the Indian government gets into the act as well, dictating who can play, who can broadcast the matches, and other trivial pursuits. You know that something is wrong with the whole exercise when the government of India has to get involved in a game.
Can I give him a Nobel prize?
