India is almost done with their batting and I'm "killing" time till they are bowled out. What can I write about? American football or basket-ball perhaps? A friend in grad school taught me the rules and goals of football. I've it all in my head. Except why it is called 'football' when all the players seem to be kicking everything but the ball. It's a question that has not produced any satisfactory answers till date.
I also happened to watch a basket-ball match between UCD and UCI today. I only saw the first half but it looked like an easy win for UCD. Although the game wasn't really high quality the cheerleaders had most of my attention. Moreover, the tradition of turning around when the opposition team members are introduced, booing when they have possession and distracting them seemed so childish to me. Would such an audience ever acknowledge the opposition's skill? Will there ever be a Gilchrist calling Kumble to congratulate him on reaching a milestone? It was an amusing experience.
