I like to wish all our friends around the world ‘happy
Ramadan’!
This is not the part of the world where cricket
was born. Still we feel no stranger to this bat and ball game, Cricket. It is
so interesting sometimes to observe the ball that prefers to dance for few
moments up in the air close to the sky and it is sometimes bring sorrow for
some and for some ‘happiness’ when ever the danced ball flipping through the
fingers of any careless moments or in any of the moments that the batsman
becomes the dominator and the emperor that loves to rule the ground of cricket.
If one couldn’t catch something properly the
others may feel happy some others may cry. If you will fall while running
others might celebrate but do not forget ‘that is cricket’ ‘what we should
learn to practice here is that ‘not to celebrate’ any of the similar occasions
outside cricket pitches even if you see that someone of your family (human
family) falls or fells.
Laughing is one of the best medicines that the man
has encountered and that is still an unbreakable record since the man innovated
man or by someone else. I don’t think
that even Sir Garfield or Aravinda de Silva,Sir Sunil Gawaskar ever could break
that kind of never breakable ‘truth’ attached to life outside cricket.
Weaknesses have no place in the game. It is so beautiful to see the art of waving
bat from here to there listening to the commands of the minds and brains of the
batsman.
Oh! No please don’t raise your finger all the time
upwards. Never try to point your finger towards a friend. I know, I know it is
not easy to keep hands ‘still’ so wave it like a beautiful wave of the ocean
bending the right hand a little bit towards the heart side. What do you say? Is
that the correct way to indicate a ball that goes and touch the territory of
four?
Let me know the type of roofing of the pavilion of
the cricket ground ‘warning’ they are unstoppable and the results are unpredictable
that is the nature of unpredictable cricket ‘sixes’. Any special gifts
allocated this time as well measuring the width and the length and the distance
of the hit?
I like to know that this twenty will not become
fifteen no? Is there anyone below twenty? I mean 18 or 18+? No fourty, fourty I
guess how sad? What is the retirement age in cricket? Is there something like
that? Or is it the ‘strength and the talent’ of the players what matters most’
in cricket?
From Pallekele to Colombo which route are you
going to take this time an airway or a high way? Shall I wait near the footpath
to see you all there before you enter the historical ‘Galle’ international
cricket stadium? Where are you all going to have tea before reach Galle ‘Ceylon
Hotels corporation – tea centre’.
How silly I am to forget ones, twos and threes
thinking of twenty, twenty all the time. How old is this twenty, twenty now has
not reached twenty no yet?
Aney ‘Doni’ please don’t hit any cameras alright.
Sanga will have no problems delivering the message of peace in to the ears of
all cricket fans across world.
Have a little ‘chat and music’ with ‘person next
seat’ while they are having a little ‘cool break’.
What music you prefer ‘Sachin’?
A song from ‘dil tho pagal hai’ or have you heard
this before ‘api okkoma rajawaru okkoma
wesiyo thun sinhalayama nedayo’ ………
‘We
all kings and queens, citizens and relatives’
So you all belong to one huge cricket family we
all belong to one fan family but we all at the end belongs to one big family ‘human’.
One side will celebrate if one goes for ‘zero’ and
if walk in to the pavilion area with a sad mood bending his head towards earth but
his members, family, fans, might get upset but that is not the end of cricket
or the game perhaps. Players get another chance to play and win. The best
player and the team will always win that is the nature of cricket or any games
we participate ‘Asian, or Olympics’.
So Don’t forget ‘zero’ is a valid number and it is
a huge number. Even if you goes for ‘zero’ at one point you will get another
chance to score double hundreds that the nature. ‘don’t give up’ ‘ we will all
win the day that the people learn to respect each others talents and that is
the mantra of cricket I guess.
Do you want them to write ‘Two zeros after 1’
before your name? ‘Is that your ‘Target’ this time? Who likes to say ‘No?’
I see how excited you are now. Incredible cricket,
try to give a ‘gentlemen touch’ to the all faces of cricket this time as well. We
do not expect a ground full of scores but some ‘aliveness’ and peace of mind
via your way of addressing people using the bat and the ball.
The ground support is unavoidably valid and immeasurably
important am I right? The true support of true friends is amazingly encouraging
in every way of living facing the life battles, all the oppositions that come
your way.
You may carry a sky full of memories home every
moment is a moment even if you prefer to take one of the wicket or a ball as a
souveniors do not forget that the friends and fans of your other side is
unhappy for a moment, a day or so may be until they win another match. But I am
sure that they understand that it is ‘cricket’ that we play. You need to be
more and more accurate than the other players or the groups of the games if you
are to earn the ‘victory’ of life or in cricket.
What is the situation in School cricket? Let me
respect the ones who support to promote or improve cricket in this part of the
world and across globe because ‘cricket brings health’ like in other authorized
games.
The trophy ‘the man of the match will get or the
man of the series gets that is a sign of the spirit of team work. I have heard
how some of you celebrated the moments of achieving ‘man of the match’ or the
man of the series’ in the matches of cricket previously played with a very
serious and a friendly mind with friends. Every ‘individual performances’ is
calculated in cricket in ‘winning or loosing’ the game of cricket I believe.
The third umpire will ease and clear the ‘doubts’
of most of the people in and outside of your play cricket ground.
Unpredictable scores, the postponed matches due to
bad weather conditions also are unpredictable that is ‘cricket’.
But this is not lazy cricket it is a little crazy cricket
that teaches all around the world a massive number of life lessons. If any one
of you fails to follow the team instructions, the moment you feel that you are
not a member of your group it is not only you who fails the whole team the
entire world of cricket fans.
‘Leader’ will lead but the others have to listen
to him, ‘trust him, and support him to win the goal. There are people who lead
a leading life in the world of human because of good quality cricket played.
West – Indies team is one of the teams that I like
so much. Steve I wonder how other Steve’s became brilliant in cricket? It is the music lesson that Steve Wonder
taught all around the world that can create wonder in ones life.
Maxy Priest, hello, are you ready to give ‘maximum
entertainment’ to the music lovers of this ‘derana’.
Ok ok let me forget ‘music’ for a moment and
concentrate more on cricket in this ‘cricket season’.
The magic of Consciousness is that the other word we
can use for cricket. Concentration on bat and ball rhythms how important it is
to understand each and every movement of the player of the opposition. You can
not take your eyes off even from the very same members of your same team. If your team member is in the wrong position of
the ground of play you need to remind him. Therefore you have to have your eyes
wide open. Am I right here? ‘Openness’ in cricket is interesting to analyze I guess.
‘How was that’ is not always the issue in cricket
or the lesson that ‘cricket reminds us to apply in to our life plays. ‘trusting’
the person who watch you or observe in the ground, the parents, two umpires who
watch you while you are running from this wicket to that wicket and around the
wicket, in to the middle, touching the territory of the ‘four limit’. You need
to respect the decisions of them.
They have only four eyes’ not millions, but
millions are witnessing the every decision they take true but they are not
closer enough to oppose or to support the decisions like these two gentlemen. They
carry no machineries or computers in to the grounds but they have the help of
the cameras hidden in the play areas.
Records and recordings are important especially in
this game ‘cricket’. These recordings are inerasable or not editable. So this
recording is not like music recordings in some other recordings people may
intentionally erase or misuse the recordings of something. They may come and ask you ‘big numbers’ in
rupee notes or they may ask something else will ruin your life forever ‘black
mail you’ but that is different.
Let me try to apply this recording in to other
recordings of life. I some of the
instances in trying to find proof or to prove something to somebody some may not record the most important parts
that reveal ones ‘true faces’ that is about generally recordings keep records
of everything is a good habit. I guess we should use these ‘man made man use
recorders for the benefit of the public. Not to harm any one of the public, or
someone of a particular group.
Human errors are accepted and respected in ‘cricket’
though you may lose the ‘victory or the trophy’ that is perfectly alright I believe.
That is the nature of cricket and I believe ‘rules of the cricket book’ will
also respect this particular ‘truth’. Rules of cricket remind me of one gentleman
in the history of cricket ‘Mr. Roy Dias.
I am not aware much about other fare tricks in
cricket. ‘Quality balling styles, batting styles, blasting styles, kalu’s
style.
Roshan Mahanama is one of the unique and genuine styles
we had and still a ‘resource’
Oh how come that I forgot to mention ‘cricket commentaries’.
Ranjith Fernando, Kamal Dehspariya, Palitha Perera, Brian Gomes my all time
favorite ‘ PREMASARA EPA SINGHE’ how are you sir?
Who will be there I wonder……..
Eye witness is important in cricket Muttaiah
Muralidaran his ‘magnifying eyes’ sometimes revels the importance of ‘aim and
the target’ of cricket. We will not
always expect ‘super sixe’s (in reel world) it is good to always have a target in cricket and in life.
C-arefully
R-eady
I-ncredibly
C-ourageous
K-ind to each ball
E-xcellent I believe and
T-ake care ………….
After thoughts ………….. [I am a cricket fan that
understands very little about the book of cricket I have not read it fully or
partially or otherwise. I just tried to see this cricket season ‘20twenty’according
to the different seasons of life I have experienced and viewed. Therefore I like
to request if you think that by any chance I have analyzed some of the things
wrongfully please forgive me].
