Beautiful words for handsome game

Have you ever noticed that there is some kinda lyrics involved in game of cricket? I am sure you must have. The literature of cricket is really really rich.Cricket inspires more good writing than, arguably, any other sport.Cricket invites lyricism, though this is perhaps rarer today, when batsmen go to the middle almost as heavily armoured as medieval knights.It’s partly the pace and rhythms of cricket that invite good writing.There is always a sense of humor involved in the game. My friends tell me football, baseball etc has a fine literature too. Perhaps it has.
But, The sheer beauty of cricket will always be missing.

Once my brother was playing baseball on playstation in my own home. I was in other room doing some other work. Suddenly he shouted, " Bhaiya I have hit it all the way. I thought  for some moment it was cricket. Then I noticed that it was not. I was kinda angry with him that he used  words describing cricket. Then The next ball he  was caught like in cricket. I kinda felt ironical. The mode of dismissal was exactly similar to that of cricket.

I am having summer vacation after a long exhausting session of studies in our college. Now, I am enjoying  my free time with cricket. Sometimes during sleep time, I think The only thing which I have not yet  explored on this planet is cricket. There is a lot more than visible in this. Everyone is  a learner. I am learning too. Sometimes I miss some of the players  who left this game and my eyes almost get wet. Sir Don! I am so unfortunate not to be able to watch him play. I  wish If I were born contemporary to him. But, God must have thought something before he created us. Maybe He wants me to miss him like this and remember him like that.

 Let me tell you I can write whole day on this and still a lot will be left. So, let me put my pen down here.

 Thanks
