KOLKATA AUR KOTLA KA KALAANK

Praveen: - Hey Subir, you are roaming here and there. Are you not watching the match today?

Subir: - uff, don’t ask me, about this Cricket match. I am really lucky for not getting any ticket for this match. The entire money would have gone wasted for watching this cricket match.

Praveen: - Why? What has happened? You are just talking like a fox who never appreciates that grapes are also sweet.

Arindam: - No, boss, there are enough reasons for Subir to get frustrated. Already Sri Lankan team has scored 300 plus runs and that too in Eden Gardens Stadium. Moreover, Dhoni and Yuvraaj are not playing in this game. Not a single team has ever chased 300 plus runs in this Eden Gardens. So, there is 99.99% chance that India will lose the match tonight.

Kirana Shop owner: - ha ha ha…I think that no one will win this match. Already, there is darkness in the Eden Gardens. One flood light tower is not working at all, he he he…

Subir: - kaun bola tumko?

Kirana Shop owner: - Arrey, you people are gossiping in the street, but I am watching the match in the TV set inside my shop. Just have a look at my TV set.

Praveen: - after all, it is Kolkata and its CPI (M) culture. ‘Andhera kayam rahey’, ha ha ha…Last time also, in one of the IPL matches, the same incident took place, and they told to the public that rats have eaten up some electric wires, he he he…this time, kisne electric wire khaya hai bhai? Kaali billi ney?…he he he…

Arindam: - ICC will not schedule any International matches at Eden Gardens anymore, due to bad flood lights.

*******************

Praveen: - Today’s match has no importance at all. Already, India has won the series. Hey, Subir, do you have anything to say about that Kolkata match?

Subir: - Boss, that was just a superb display by two young stars. Virat played a virat innings and Gambhir was very gambhir in his job.

Arindam: - In today’s match, Sri Lanka is batting first again. What is the score now?

Subir: - Arrey, forget about the score, just look at the Indian bowling. They are just bowling like Australian and West Indian bowlers. They are swinging and bouncing the cricket ball just like anything. Sri Lankan batsmen are having a very tough time in tackling our deadly Indian bowlers. See, just see, one Lankan batsman is seriously injured now. Bravo, our Indian bowlers are rocking today.

Praveen: - Something is fishy out here. This Indian bowler is bowling at a mild speed and he has not given a short delivery, but still that ball bounced at such a height, that it cleared everyone to reach the boundary. Are they playing on grounds or on a concrete floor?

Arindam: - Oho, yeh toh Kotla stadium hai, Delhi ka? This pitch is totally unpredictable and it breaks very easily. Don’t forget that our Anil Kumble capitalized on this pitch to set a record of taking 10 wickets in one innings of a Test match against our arch- rivals Pakistan.

Subir: - He he he, the match has been called off now, for bad pitch at Kotla. Tabhi toh main sochoo ke, Indian bowlers are bowling hi-fi bouncers today, he he he…Where is Arun Jaitley and Chetan Chauhan? They give big lectures, but they can’t even make a good cricket pitch. Really, it’s a shame.

Praveen: - If CPI (M) is to be blamed for Kolkata drama, then it is DGCA, who should be blamed for Delhi Disaster. No matches should be scheduled in Kotla and Kolkata stadiums, unless they come out with proper respective reasons for the “KOLKATA AUR KOTLA KA KALAANK”.
