Re: Group D - PAKISTAN vs INDIA (The Big FRIDAY match)
speaking about the cricket mania in india around 1983 world cup i still get nostalgic about it. i was then 6yrs old.i used to goto graveyard in Meerut (as it was the only open space available nearby my house with my elder brother(5 yrs elder to me) and his friends to play cricket.then cricket was such a boring game to me as i was too young to play with my brother’s friends.so i used t fetch balls for them
Till 1987 world cup i never knew indian cricketer’s by face except for kapil dev’s famous bowling action poster which used to adorn my brother’s room wall.but then the first tv came into my house again for the purpose of world cup.and since then im much into watching cricket but never played it.i was much into badminton.
Arey main baat to kahana bhool gaya------whenver there used to be Indo-PAk match-there was this slogan of ours “jeetayga bahi jeetay ga bharat jeetayga” and still its remain unchanged.
So again i ve the same mantra to whip up passion ----Jeetay ga bhai jeetay ga hindostan jeetayga. (still knowing that ki ----pakistan ka palda bhaari hai.but thats wat cricket is.
Meerut is near to Delhi and you are saying first radio
