On my way to the train station I caught that quintessentially Indian scene, cricket being played on the Maidan. This time on the litter free Maidan, with some university buildings in the background, and sparkling white cricket players. (Who decided that cricket needed to be played in white uniforms? What masochist chose this hell for cricket players, and for the people who do the laundry of the cricket players? Ah, wait, I know. Some bleach salesman.) The fences around the Maidan, or park, were dotted with spectators. It is funny, I think that Indian guys are pathologically incapable of walking by a cricket game. They have to stop and see what is going on, and get caught, like moths around a lantern.

Have you ever tried to understand the scoring in cricket? Think of all the tea breaks that are built in too.
Looks like Marymoor park (except for the clock tower).
Are you sure you took this in Mumbai?
there was an article in the paper about the microsoft cricket league, so i bet it does look like mm park.
