The King is dead, long live the King.....

In a shocking development, Indian cricket was found dead on the cricket field in Port of Spain. Initial reports coming in suggest that it was a case of collective suicide as the body was surrounded by hopelessness and despair. There was also evidence of complacency on the walls. This development comes on the heels of a loss to Sri Lanka in the World Cup 2007. It may be recalled that Indian cricket had set sail for the West Indies 2 weeks ago to stake its claim in the premier one day cricket championship.

Reliable sources have now revealed that Indian cricket was already suffering from money-monia and advert-itis for several years now and experts reckon it is likely that they played a significant role. While these pre-existing conditions were known to everyone, Indian cricket had gone on record to state that there was no connection between the two and these ailments would not hamper its performance on the cricket field. Or so they believed.......

Indian cricket was last seen alive after the series in Pakistan in 2004 when it won the test as well as the one day series. Thereafter, it seemed to have passed its halcyon days and an effort to recreate past glories had not yielded significant results inspite of desperate measures which included a heart and a head transplant and the misguided amputation of a seemingly gangrenous limb which, against all expectations, healed itself and grew back. Nevertheless, no one would have suspected that the end would come so swiftly.

Indian cricket was discovered slumped on the floor, unconscious and barely alive, after the match with Bangladesh by Faith, Hope, Adulation and Patriotism who went in to check when Indian cricket did not answer their impassioned pleas. It was rushed to the St Kitts hospital where doctors from Bermuda declared that nothing seemed to be seriously wrong since all tests carried out on the arms and legs suggested they were moving as required and looked equal to the challenges that were to follow. However, it turned out to be a false hope.

A preliminary autospy conducted on the body revealed no evidence of a spine and testicles. Frustration, Anger and Resentment revealed that this was consistent with manner of death and have now elevated the level of investigation to a full autopsy. We shall bring you the results of the same as and when they are released
