1. which hand Sachin signs with and how many litres of milk Dhoni drinks is as substantial to you as knowing the alphabets of the English language.
2. unlike the foreigners who come to bask in the sun while watching a match, you go to cheer on your team in the stadium only to find yourself having exhausted as much energy as your cricketers if not more. (how we wish we can put .0002% of that interest and energy into our studies! all right, chuck that now. That's not the point here.. )
3. by screaming out their names or by praying or believing in all those weird superstitions(which you otherwise would never even give a thought to), you think you can get your cricketers to get that crucial wicket or hit that huge six.
4. you run a separate cricinfo kinda commentary on facebook, twitter or via texts to your friends although you know they are also watching the same match that you are watching!
5.you are dying to go to school/college the next day and talk about it again and again and again with your friend, not that the commentary that you ran the previous night wasn't enough.
6. you can never get tired of seeing the videos on youtube or watching highlights on tv. You even know when the commentator coughed and which finger bhajji swirled in the air when he got that priced wicket, but still,...
7.you watch every show related to the victory on every news channel and their repeat shows over and over again and then exhaust all the articles that come in the newspaper,e-newspaper about that victory and you still can't get enough of it. On another day, you don't even know if you buy a newspaper at home!!
8.you will say, 'Yea man! WE did it!', if only you hear these words,'WORLD CUP 2011', as if you and I toiled in the hot sun for 15 hours a day for the last 15 years and won the coveted trophy!
9.you are not an atheist. Actually, you cannot be one! Didn't you say, "God, please.." on 2nd april,2011,just before the match started or when Sachin was on 99?
P.S.: so if you think you are an Indian cricket fan and your fb religious view reads 'Atheist', please change it, you are lying big time!
10.you read all of this and are saying,"so true! can't agree more."
