Cricket, Population and Nation

Right from childhood, when I watch Cricket matches, I pray for India to win. Especially major tournaments and world cups, I always wanted India to win at “any” cost. Why? Yes, you are right. It’s because I am in Indian. That’s not all. There was another reason why I always wanted India to win all matches and tournaments. What is that? Unlike any other nation, a win by India makes an incomparably huge population happy. I always used to say that India had the highest population among Cricket playing nations so India had to win. You don’t have to be intelligent to know this fact because we all know China doesn’t play Cricket. But, I always wanted to look at the exact numbers. Finally, I had some time today to look at it and come out with some great (!) conclusions. Here you go… Australia 22,567,780 New Zealand 4,393,500 Sri Lanka 21,513,990 Pakistan 174,578,558 England 49,138,831 South Africa 4

Better than me? Can't manage! Don't want to be the worse! Worse than me? Can't manage! Don't want to be with the worse! Keep looking for... Those as good as me Those as bad as me Not better than me Not worse than me Same amount of black Same amount of white Same amount of gray Even the few As gray as me Don't remain as-is As long as too long Even if they remain so Either I don't let them be so Or they don't let me be so Somehow Have never seen two same grays! Every gray is unique!
