The Cricket Team I hate the most

Nope, its not Pakistan which I hate. Its the Sri Lankan team which I hate the most. They spend most of their time playing the minnows or drawing test matched against the bigger team. Just look at the current series against Bangladesh. If I am not wrong, Bangladesh has played most of their tests against Sri Lanks only, both home and away. Bangladesh is yet to visit India for a test series!!!!
Now lets look at the ODI seen. Today, Mendis completed his 50 wickets in ODIs in just 19 matches and he averages just 10!!!! Can you believe it? Yea, I can. He is a awesome bowler. But then has he played the Aussies or the Proteas? Sri Lanka just played 5 one days in Zimbabwe and now they are playing a tri series against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.
Even playing against the better test playing nations, these have such a bad attitude. Take the example of the famous match where Sri Lanka made 952 runs. What did they achieve? Highest score in test cricket. But did they win the match? Then whats the point of playing for so long?
What about you people? Do you agree with me?

कुछ बिखरे सपने और आँखों में नमी है, एक छोटा सा आसमां और उम्मीन्दों की ज़मीं है, यूँ तो बहुत दोस्त है ज़िन्दगी मैं, पर जो खास है वाही पास नहीं है ....................

Sawai Ekankika’ 2013

So this year I completed a hat trick of watching the finals of Sawai . Like the previous 2 occasions, this too was a great experience. Most of the plays were good and the overall performance level was better than that of the 2012 finals. Most of the plays were based social issues like parenting, cynicism among the middle class, etc. Unlike the previous finals, not a single one was of romantic/love genre. Here is the list of finalists- Nat S. M. R. T. We missed this one as we were late. But Viraj's father told us, this was similar to the play " Natasamrat " but a modern version.
