The way we consumed sport

These days, I suppose, kids would just have their smartphones on the desk and watch the game on mute (but do they have enough focus to keep them occupied with just one thing is debatable though!), but we had to hide a transistor radio somewhere it could still get reception and then pass earphone cables up our sleeves, listening with head propped on hand on desk. Whenever a wicket falls or a boundary scored the way it used to get communicated across the class by sign language and whispers with suppressed emotions and the subsequent commotion creating suspicion in lecturer's mind (though some lecturers openly asked for the score sometimes knowing fully well what is transpiring).What makes sport memorable is often less the action itself than the way in which we consumed it.
