What would be rather unusual is that Don just a couple years ago, gave up the game of cricket to pursue two years of tennis, however he came back into the game two years ago, and by the looks of it, is in

so, I went to cricket coaching with the same excitement and energy from the match I’d seen. I did every single drill the coach asked me to do: ranging from running across a lake (the total length was 5 kilometers) to shadow practicing until I perfected the form of my shot. It was all in the belief that I would one day be good enough to play on the Indian team.

Keens-Douglas vividly describes Tanti Merle’s actions from her preparation for the trip, to the match and, finally her behavior at the game.

Just like many other sports cricket is often seen as “just a game,” but it has made a much bigger significance than one might expect. Cricket and politics were deeply intertwined in 20th century India.

By asserting their sexuality, the female protagonists in both texts deliberately defy socially-prescribed female virtues of chastity and obedience. This ownership of their sexuality grants them power in their romantic relationships with men and liberates them from the submissive position that women are traditionally expected to be in. It is crucial to note, however,

Hi Trish I enjoyed following your stories on Cricket Hollow Zoo. They were very informative and helped me greatly writing my own stories about this disgusting zoo.
