To be fair, nobody had expected Sri Lanka to be so kick-ass. We had written scripts for Australian and Pakistani players as well, but we couldn’t swing those contracts in time. Sri Lanka went on to win the final (played at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, back in the days when India and Pakistan were couth enough to co-host cricket events.)

Instead, let us resolve, as a nation, and as fans of the game, to stop caring so desperately about cricket.
