Fabulous story, well written about a topic much ignored ... the coming of the grim reaper for us all in time.

Great short story. Hats off to u. Your description of death was fantastic. It made me think a bit.

Keep writing Ashim.

All the best.

This was incredibly beautiful. Your question I find unanswerable, I wonder too whether he knows an LBW. Do you think he has an extra umpire in the pavilion to check. I hope so.

A wonderfully told tale, Ashim.

The match decription was exciting, nostalgiac. The dream sequence was excellent.

The cricket metaphor at the end was very well-constructed (The inequity of death = unfair LBW decisions by the man above;
Winning = scoring more runs = ``good deeds``?;
How you played the game = intention weighted over deed)

Keep writing.
