Haha, she was waiting in the car I told her on the phone I'll be right out. Kumble was on 93*. I took my time 'putting my clothes on' even though I was ready before she got there. Later I told her what really happened and that I could always see her but Kumble will never make a century again. She just laughed.

You Know you are obsessed with cricket when you watch baseball, and start thinking where Mid-on and Mid-off should be, and also notice how the fast bowler doesnt have a slip in place.

When you have mini cricket matches behind the bar you work part time at, using a screwed up piece of paper and a plastic bottle.

Stupid and Obsessive:

Obsessive: When every time someone phones you start practising your bowling with your free hand. Stupid: You have managed to smash the light bulb doing this 5 times in the last couple of months.

Edit

Not smash exactly just hitting the shade hard enough for the bulb to stop working.

I don't know about obsessive, but I did force myself out of bed at 4.30 am on a winter morning a couple of years ago to see if India's openers could beat the world record Test opening partnership (they didn't). I kept pretty quiet about that. :dry:

I'm not tall enough to do that...so just clip the lampshade. Hurts enough though.

At the age of 11, you play book cricket with player names like Victor Trumper, Trevor Goddard and Pankaj Roy.

You have a dream in which David Lloyd, apropos of nothing, offers Jesse Ryder a bouquet of roses.

When you have a dream that India winning the world cup was a dream. You wake up and reassure yourself that it did actually happen.
