Well , we have a 'You know things are bad when ...' thread so why not have a 'You know things are good when..' thread?

We must not always look at the negatives
Hopefully this thread will be bumped often :)

I'll get us started

things were also good when chennai massacre happened in 1999. they were good when afridi went out to bat for the first time. they were good when he bowled in a t20 the last time. they were good when he toured india with inzi and co and made a history in its own style, things were good all the time from A-Z and will remain like they have been.

so i agree it depends on how you play.....:afridi
