Cricket mania
Normally I couldn’t care less about cricket, even after having grown up in a culture obsessed by the game. But this article still left me laughing.
Pakistan is a country that has never lacked great drama – in the past few months alone its president was nearly blown up, twice, its nuclear scientists were exposed as having sold more atomic secrets than Gerry Harvey has sold televisions and then, Osama was supposedly spotted in the hills on the border. But all these events come to nothing compared with the drama of a series against the Indians – the first between these two great cricketing nations, on either’s home turf, since 1989.
Somehow it rings just too true.
