Where Nobody Wins!

Hey yaars,

It's a bit past midnight, and I'm watching the last day of the first test match between India and Pakistan. It is undoubtedly going to end in a draw, as there is only one day left, and the way things have been going, they couldn't complete this match if they were given 10 days.

Why am I stupid enough to watch? Virender Sehwag, and Indian batsman, has hit 250 runs not out, and I don't want to see him get 300 (300 runs in cricket by a batsman is much like a perfect game in baseball, VERY rare). And I KNOW that my Indian friends, colleagues, associates, etc. will rag me about this, despite neither team actually winning. Alas, my pride for the motherland keeps me awake.

Luckily it's still raining in Lahore, so play is delayed, if this keeps up they call of the days' play, and the Test match! I have never wished for rain as much as I have today!
