Enjoy the game, be the zen!!

[zen]

Planning to turn into a neutral cricket fan except in major multi national LOI events, key test series and IPL
 

Will try to appreciate good cricket from all sides. And may support underdogs at times too
 

Go cricket!!!!!! .... “Enjoy” the game to the fullest w/ worrying about results

 

Anyone else want to hop on to this boat?

if series result don't have enough stakes, I'll just mark some interesting players and watch for their performances alone

Nah! I will skip MCG. Not a masochist . Will look at scores now and then. Winter of 36 has scarred me, will take a lot of wins to come out of it.

of course as a cricket fan, that feeling is always there.

 

But India is India.  And never will that change.

I am one of those suckers too.  Like a lovelorn teenager, I pine to see my team play, scorn after scorn after scorn.

Enjoying the game even more as a neutral as I do not care for results but good cricket. If a batsman gets out or a bowler goes for runs, I do not worry (since I do not follow the game hoping for things to go well for one team only)
 

Irrespective of the team (including Ind, for whom I will have a soft spot - can’t take Ind out of an Indian), I enjoy a good shot or a good ball. Do support certain players though 

 

At least till the end of 2021, I have to be in this stage as a zen master to cleanse my mind of the biases that I have developed over the years (apart from certain tourneys as outlined in the OP) .... Let good cricket win

We know where your heart lies

No matter how much you try to disguise

 

Compelled you are due to past distress

Know this cricket can be a cruel mistress

 

Zen shed this pretence

Stop sitting on the fence

 

Back India like you back Bambi canines

Seriously I am running out of lines

 

Come tomorrow  hope you switch

As we push the Aussies into a deeper ditch

@zen hope you hated this game as a neutral because it turned out pretty one sided in the end and got over in 3.5 days. Boring test cricket right?
