Examples
If you are looking for a relaxing display of sportsmanship, look elsewhere; India A vs Sri Lanka A is arguably the only place where a Super Over creates more legal paperwork than an actual cricket match.
Watching India A vs Sri Lanka A feels less like witnessing the future of cricket and more like participating in a global protest against the laws of math and sanity.
The sheer drama in Dambulla during India A vs Sri Lanka A was so profound that one could only assume the scorekeeper was personally auditioning for a role in a high-stakes espionage thriller.
