Will I cease to be a ‘cricketaholic’?

Posted in Quick Quips on Nov 10, 2008

Siddhartha Vaidyanathan has spoken beautifully for me and many others – twenty somethings who have spent their entire adolescent and adult lives watching the Fab Five in action.

How different will cricket be for me; without this extraordinary bunch?

Will it wane my interest in the game?

I think hard and another exodus comes to mind

I was a tennisaholic in the glory days of Becker, Edberg, Courier, Sampras, Agassi and Ivanisevic

Now I only watch when Federer plays Nadal

    The last line of SV’s article hits the nail on its head… I have always wondered how it would be the day after Sachin retires. We all have our personal favourites - Dravid for me - but Sachin’s irreplaceable in many ways, isn’t he! The closest I have come to guessing the feeling is by echoing Simon and Garfunkel in Mrs. Robinson, where they sing, “Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio, a nation turns its lonely eyes to you… yoohooho…”
