My recent following of television series is The Last One Standing, Discovery’s reality show on how six athletes take up the challenge of playing tribal sports in remote tribal areas of earth, on their terms. I am loving it. So far, from what I have followed, athletes have been to South America, Zulu, Mongolia, Mexico, Nagaland and South Pacific. I loved the venture of the last one since the challenge was cricket, a game with which I can claim to recognize a bit, though I surely don’t know how to use a bat.
The game of cricket was the craziest and most funniest I have ever seen. They dance on the fall of wickets and this dance is a pride. And one has to learn it to play this game of cricket. There is an octopus dance on catch out, some other kinda dance for run outs, other for clean bowled… and there are songs too accompained with it.
You absolutely have to see this tribal game of cricket before ninja brings it down.
