MADHURI'S LETTER TO GOD

Dear God,

As you obviously know right now, you must be watching the match on tv up there in the heavens, India are 282/9 in their second innings and they need just 98 runs to win against England in Lords.Thankfully, you guys (the Rain Gods) answered my prayers and the match is going to be called off in about 15 minutes.Thank you God.I promise you that Rahul and his boys will practice harder than ever and win the series.Thank you so much for helping them.I know you tried helping India during the World Cup 2007 too but I guess you wanted to give the Bangladeshis their bit of glory.God, you are so nice, you care about every cricket team.But please help India win the series against England.England can have their victory in Ashes against Australia, you know.But I have a tiny complaint against you.Why are you so partial towards Australia?They sledge so much.You know that cricket is a gentleman's game, right ? Inspite of that, you are partial towards Australia !!! India has gentlemen like Sachin Tendulkar who walks off even if he's not out just to make the opposition team happy.India has gentlemen like Ganguly who drop catches to make the opposition happy.India has gentlemen like Rahul Dravid who grants the opposition bowlers a new record of consecutive maiden overs.

Anyways, the match is now called off. Thanks again, God. I'll write to you again, if India needs help in the next match at Nottingham.I promise you, Rahul and his boys are trying their best. :-) Bye, see you later then...!
