#almostcricket, in a matter of days
Updated: 7 days ago

Number of Days for the ICC World Cup 2023 to start: 17 (Used Google to find the date and then counted on my fingers)
Number of World Cups held so far: 12
(Of course, Googled-ed)
Number of World Cups I’ve missed in my lifetime: 12
Number of matches in ICC World Cup 2023: 48
(Oh, come on, Google-ed)
Number of games (full) I’ve watched in my lifetime: 0
Number of games I wish I’d watched (any duration) in my lifetime: 0
The only numbers I care for:
Number of days the ICC World Cup 2023 will last: 46
(I have to now write for 17 + 46 days)
Number of days I’ve been married: 3979 (Used Google, was easier than wondering which were the leap years in between)
Number of days this project will last: (minus) 16 + 46 days
On a fateful morning of September 18, 2023, I had an idea (another!) to write something about #cricket. And because I like challenges and also because I am a tad foolish and courageous, I decided to share it on a public platform for everyone to read.
This is a foolish idea because
I know nothing about cricket
We all think we know something about cricket
I am an Indian, I better know something about cricket
Nobody READS anymore, we only watch REELS
Nobody READS
I may have got all of the above numbers wrong
Cons
I have to write about cricket for 16 + 46 days
Pros
Nobody READS
I don’t have to pretend to know something about cricket
A hashtag I thought I'd never use
P.S.: I hope to write for the 17 + 46 days, so if you want to suffer (with me) keep coming back here for daily doses of what for now and for the lack of a better name I am calling my #notaboutcricket project, #almostcricket. If you’re into the LIKE, SHARE, and SUBSCRIBE to the FREE PLAN (damn!!) way of living then, of course, you can do that too. I also accept gift cards, just saying. Reach me at hello@purvagrover.com.
