Will They or Won’t They? I Highly Doubt They Will

Sri Lanka look complete. The batting has firepower at the top and below, and solidity in the centre. The bowling possesses nagging seam, a number of capable support acts, and two freaks of nature. The fielding is sharp. They are thoroughly prepared and exceptionally led.

Well to me this basically sums up the entire story of tonight’s World Cup face-off between India and Sri Lanka.

The Sri Lankan beasts are gonna whip some Indian Blue butts and we the fans will bid goodbye to our World Cup dreams. Now not that I am being a spoilsport here, it’s just that I have decided to go with the advice of one of my blog readers – “Patriotism is one thing, but realism rocks”.

So Mr. Wadia better keep that $50 handy cause there is a cent-per-cent surety, it’s going to land up in my kitty.

As for tonight, me off to the cinemas to watch the just-released “The Hills Have Eyes” and No, I won’t be watching the match. The tension and stress is way too much for a soul like me to handle.

And for those who intend to watch tonight’s game, a word of advice – better keep those anti-depression pills handy, you just might need them.
