After months of trying to compete for your attention, your girlfriend finally asks you in frustration "What's more important - me or the cricket?"

And you both already know the answer.

When you start wanting to call out numbers like 222 as double nelson.

Happens fairly regularly when you play Scrabble where you often read out the scores...

When you look at your exam schedule and assign the cricket team names to different subjects.

I usually do this. When its a very tough paper I say O.k today I am facing Australia and so on for other papers as well, If the marks are good in a tough paper I am like "wohoo I beat Australia" if they are just Ok I go "O.k atleast I drew the game":ph34r:
