by Fellow Beings,
With profound grief I have to announce the demise of the long ailing
creature fondly called Indian Cricket by its followers (which is really
an oxymoron).The death blow was struck by a hitherto non fatal virus
whose name is supposed to begin with the last letter of the english
alphabet.Doctors are still not clear about the exact cause of the
internal decay which preceded,and in most opinions,caused the
demise.Most experts believe that a sustained malfunctioning of an
overheated brain cell (known in informal medical circles as Tendy) was
the principal cause of the untimely yet foreseen end.But some esteemed
medical scientists regard it as a thorough decay of the whole
body,rooted at the bottom and gradually spreading to the top.The
immediate causes of the death were certainly the introduction of a high
dose of the lethal drug runoutine combined with tendheroics.
So in true Indian tradition,I declare the next three days as days of
national mourning and the display of the Ashes of the dcd for public
view at the now-renowned Garden of Eden.People are requested not to pray
"may the soul rest in peace",because of the futility of the request in
view of the existing conditions of the land of Satan.Also,no appeal of
resurrection shall be entertained in normal circumstances.The soul will
be assigned its due place at the time of the final game between The
Republic of South Africa and Zimbabwe.
