Flying high and pretty fine

Its been a great week.

Loads of cricket,both on TV and in real life. Good bit of laughing, because laughing is always good. The cricket team is filled with amazing guys who I enjoy being around, even the new J1 guys. Its also nice to know that its not all fun and laughter, and that I'm getting progressively better at my game, both in the batting and bowling department. Getting a compliment out of the coach about my fielding is an added bonus, considering that I was wicketkeeper from the beginning!

Something related to cricket, but not really. Everyone must know about the crazy Australian bushfires in Victoria recently. If you don't, you're probably living under a rock somewhere, and you should crawl further under it and die. Its believed 300 people died, and many more might be homeless. Its here that the Australian cricketers showed how HUMAN they are. From State players to National players, everyone chipped in to raise money for the Bushfire victims. Selling things, donating, hitting sixes (yes, 5000 dollars was donated for every six hit!), etc, the entire Australian cricketing community did whatever they can. And it didnt stop there. Read this. I think it is pretty amazing that the entire Australian cricket team went all the way down to help with the relief efforts. These guys are International Cricketers who have to play a game on Friday. But they went down just to help. To show that despite all the fame, they're still human. So SCREW all of you who say that Australian Cricketers are cheating, bullying, racist, egoistical players. I've never seen ANY OTHER cricket team do ANYTHING like this. I may not support them in any game, but I have great respect for the team. Especially after this.

Sure, any other Indian guy would be busy posting about the come-from-behind, never-say-die Indian win in the T20 against Sri Lanka. But to me? That humble gesture on the part of the Aussie boys overshadowed everything.

Its lovely when people show they care don't you think?

Cheers.
