The Twenty20 Cricket World Cup Final - India versus Pakistan

[aneeshm]

Game started just now. India versus Pakistan. India batting first.

Magnificent first over.

This rivalry is over a thousand years old. The whole country has some to a standstill to watch this. The streets are deserted. This is a matter of national pride and honour. We can't blow the other person up with bombs or nukes, so we let it all out on the cricket pitch. Vent our hate, revel in their defeat.

Sometimes, even riots happen when a few fundie Muslims celebrate India's loss.

I'm tense as hell. If we lose this, it doesn't matter that we reached the final, this would be far worse.

My workmate is tracking the game over the net during his lunch break. He's Indian btw.

 

[aneeshm]

Just lost a wicket!

I get the distinct feeling that I could insult Mohammed in Pakistan as much as I wished, so long as I didn't accidentally insult the national cricket team.

Same here!

You can get away with calling a religious icon a drunkard and a womaniser, but you'll probably be lynched if you try casting even the mildest of aspersions on the cricket team. Unless they lose, specially against Pakistan, in which case, for a few months, you can use the worst language possible and people will all agree.

There is a thread over in Sports Forum for this. And it got very little coverage.

If it doesn't last five days, I ain't interested.

 

[aneeshm]

This is extremely uncertain.

I love Pakistani maidens.

I heard loud, and I mean extremely loud, loud, raucous, cheering from my next door neighbors. I presume India is winning.

 

[aneeshm]

Watch it, you traitor!

 

[Rambuchan]

Pakistan look set to lose.

Sometimes, even riots happen when a few fundie Muslims celebrate India's loss.

Indian fans don't need "fundie Muslims" to run riot.

 

[aneeshm]

This is tense as effing hell.

 

[aneeshm]

AAAAAAAARRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Another four! Hell!!

 

[Rambuchan]

A combination of wide, full and short bowling from India have allowed Pakistan into a position of possibly winning since my last post.

 

[aneeshm]

YaaaaahoooooooooOO!

 

[Rambuchan]

What? You finally got laid?



edit: Oh right, India have won. Different cause, same effect, I guess.

 

[silver 2039]

India won.

There are fireworks....bloody fireworks everywhere in my city. I don't believe this.... fireworks...over a cricket game....and I hear drums believe it or not.
I hear violent screaming from next door too. Happy screaming that is.

This is just so weird....

Oh but what great potential for riots...I could go into the streets and start insulting India's team and shout PAKISTAN ZINDABAD!! And I would start a massive bloody insane riot that would last for days.... ahhahahahahahahhaha

I'm almost tempted to do it too....but I value my life more than a stupid sport.
