“Ok sonny, six balls to go and you got 12 runs to make, how do you plan to win? This world cup is ours for sure.’

‘Wasim Bhai. Not for nothing am I best batsman in the world. Bring in your inswingers, you will see them swung to the boundary with equal speed.’

‘Huh…here you go..Hey, don’t duck. Really? That’s the best you could do? 12 off 5 now. You are done for.’

‘Umpire, Wasim is distracting me. Please do something.’

‘Come on Sachin baby. This is a final. Pakistan is playing India and you want to play like mutes?’

‘Ok, old man. Out with your next ball.’

‘Shucks. Damn this dew. You are lucky you got a full toss buddy. My next one will toss your bat to the boundary. Stop sniggering.’

‘I told you. The boundary is not far when the little master plays. 8 off 4 now? My grandmother could score that.’

‘That’s fine. I would not want my upcoming bouncer to injure someone old. So stick to your crease. Here it comes.’

‘Ah, missed it! You got lucky there’

‘I heard that chubby. You defended? Rahul would have done better’.

‘Hey. My bat slipped, else this ball would have struck your coach Javed who is sitting in the box enjoying mutton biryani.’

‘Yeah, yeah. I hope your fans don’t make biryani out of you once you lose this match. 8 off 3 now. Not sure if your grandma would like to play in this situation, eh!’

‘She would not want to. Because there is no challenge, with a wimp like you bowling. Why are you taking so much time anyway? Scared?’

‘Here you go buster. Take that yorker. You flicked it? You actually flicked it? That was pad first. Umpire, come on. You cannot be serious!!!’

‘Hey, hey. Don’t do a McEnroe here. The umpire has given his decision. Will you please ask Shoaib at the boundary to be sharper than that? It is getting too easy for me. I think he is still thinking about his autobiography.’

‘You don’t worry about that, Mr Tedulkar! Here goes the last ball of the match.’

‘Now you can’t count? There are two balls left. 4 runs to make.’

‘But you will last only this ball, Tendla. The stumps better be strong enough to withstand my pace. Ugggh’

‘Ooh! That almost got me, damn it. But I will take the two runs. 2 of 1 big boy. What do you reckon?’

‘No time, take this. Oh no, you hit it. Shoaib, come on, stop the boundary.’

‘Hey, What happened? It became dark suddenly.’

‘That’s because I have been calling out to father and son for the last 15 minutes to stop that stupid Xbox game and come and eat breakfast.’

‘Awww mom! But that was the final ball of ther World Cup!!! You can't switch off the TV like that’

‘If our actual cricketers had so much passion, we would do better. Now please eat!’
