Cricket- The greatest game on this planet

First entry

Cricket blog!! Why? Well, I am an Indian and every indian loves cricket. After all, we cant play any other sport well enough. Odd isnt it! Well, I think one of the reasons why we excel in cricket is because we are lazy, you dont have to be too fit to play the game. You can be a good batsman despite being fat and a slob. All one needs to do is play the big shots. Indians are very much like the Romans during the days of the Gladiators and the great Roman theatre. They dont really love the game, they just want to be entertained. They love the big shots, the thrill. Nobody bothers about the nuances, subtle tactics of the game.

And the best proof of our laziness is that we produce the maximum number of spin bowlers in the world. Who wants to toil in the sun and break your back bowling fast ;)

Coming back to why I love the sport, I cant hit a six, I am not a stroke player, but I love the nuances of the game. I would call myself a connoiseur. This is my first post on cricket. Let's see how well I write
