BCCI has achieved the impossible feat of both killing as well as keeping alive Global Cricket. Not sure if I can watch any more....

This captures something crucial about oversaturation. When everythign becomes a World Cup, nothing feels like one. I grew up when major tournaments had space to breathe and memories to form around them, but now its almost like beign in a casino where the sounds blend into noise and individual wins lose meaning.

Excellent, as always! Haven't been following much - probably because of the overkill of the game these days, so are they playing the finals at NaMotera even if Pakistan qualify?

Thanks man! And haha, we have moved all Pakistan games, including possible semi/final to Colombo. While boycotting them, mind you.

So the final could be in Colombo?

Sarthak Dev's avatar

Yep! I mean, after last evening's developments, who even knows, but if Pak make it, it will be in Colombo.

My bigger question is - would I lose my passport if I support Pakistan this world cup? :)

You will most definitely lose your chance to visit Estadio Modium anytime soon, which I'd consider a gift.
