I stood there watching, silently as ever, as the wickets fell one by one. The last wicket had displayed a spirited performance. But alas, it could not deny the destinity of life. This match is over. Losing a test match after long hours of toil is heart-breaking, but the game must go on. The series has not ended.The next match will be played in a new ground. New pitch, new strategy and new game-plan.
Of course, this is not the only series thats going on. In the neighbouring countries too, matches are going on, some Test matches, some one-dayers and even some 20-20's.
The Board of control for cricket is not worried about the amount of cricket being played. And it is also not worried about the fact that umpires are themselves failed players of the game! It is the destiny of nations to keep playing. It is the utlimate game of survival. The game of cricket.
