Two negatives do not make a positive

There is some thing which has been making me really agitated last couple of weeks. I hope making it public might relieve a bit of my pain by sharing it :)

This all started with this celebration:
First thing that popped up was it was so not unplanned and stage managed. Second thing was that the series was still a 2-2 draw. In 2015-16 they have just played Sri Lanka, Bangla Desh and England. They have won only in UAE and  (maybe in Pak).
Apparently to get to this 2-2 draw they practiced with Pak Army. There are some striking similarities between the Cricket team and the army. Army's terrorist catching record can compete with Akmal's wicket keeping record. Just like the Army then have been just beating starved Bangladeshis and no one else. They both are the best match fixers.
Add to that the frustration of a rained out game without any rain on couple of days in WI and we have the most undeserved test number one ever. Now the irony was full till the brim.
This was one of the few times I prayed to God. That too in Marathi. - "Irony"chyaa devaa tulaa thingi thingi waahu de - my fav song dedicated to the most powerful God of probability.
And lo and behold: my prayers were answered:


And I am like:
