Overheard at the local mall parking..."The IPL 3 should also happen at SA or England..."
He obviously was mesmerised with the opening and closing ceremonies...
And was dumbstuck with the proficiency, Cricket SA organised the event in a notice of 21 days...
Agreed it was a very well organized event...
But at the end of the day it is INDIAN premiere league...
We moved SA only coz of a fuck up back home...
Dont get mesmerized with white skin and dazzling fireworks...
It just came with the package...
The heart of cricket lies in India...
Doesnt matter how many barbecue pits you make in the park...
The REAL passion is witnessed only here...
A six, has to be appreciated with noise, screams and passion...
Not with silent applaud (a.k.a. England)...
So much for the gentleman's game...
If infrastructure is the only thing you are looking at...
Then USA would have been the best place to organize any event...
But just the way American football or baseball has no takers otherwise...
Cricket would not be welcomed there...
Its an Indian concept...
Let it stay in India...
If you want to see more of Wanderers and Kingsmead...
Wait till SA start its own league...
Till then hail Chinnaswamy and Eden Gardens...
And where in the world can u find crowd that can go crazy on just abything.. u dont need British crowd who applaud any of brave effort or Aussie crowd that pride on its once a legacy in Cricket World... No one but indian can only worship Cricket as religion. so be it IPL or WC, hosting in India or to be precise in asian contenent, the charm is all different. so IPL 3 or all the IPL XXX should be in India...
