A reflection of the world-game of cricket and West Indies sunlight in '75 amounting to a peace-promotion dawn.

"
A nod to the peace-symbolism of modern media-era world sports, citing the iconic and symbolic West Indies glory in the outstanding 1975 World Cup (cricket).

The game of cricket is elegant and handsome, and it's involved great competitor-nations including the West Indies, England, India, and New Zealand in its rich and fun history which dates back to the early 20th Century. Cricket involves two teams of fielders/pitchers (or 'bowlers') and batters (or 'batsmen') switching roles to see who can score the most runs within an allotted amount of time (or 'overs') in either multiple-day matches/contests or single-day games. The first World Cup championship of the single-day match era was held on 21 June, 1975.



My name's Amlan Satan (code-name: Storm-Shadow). I'm a guerrilla-intelligence agent with Interpol-relations working with blood-diamond infiltration creating Euro-piracy from Sierra Leone and threatening 'overground' socioeconomics reforms negotiations between Sinn Fein and UK Parliament. I'm also a huge fan of the game/sport of international cricket and enjoy thinking about legendary stars from the world-game (e.g., Gavaskar, Khan, etc.) who've made their countries quite proud/glorious. When I'm not working, I'm thinking about various social activities, like cricket, making me more drawn to the 'human' side of civilization intrigue.



As a cricket-fan, I like collectible items/images of great equipment/clothing from the elegant game. The uniforms of 'classic cricket' often included dashing white-striped half-sweaters and white slacks and batsmen-gloves/helmets. This is a game that's generated terrific fanfare aesthetics and even fashions in the world.



In fact, the era of globalism cable-TV has brought cricket to bars-pubs in North America, bringing fans of baseball towards a world-game that's very much about the social 'fun' of batting and throwing and fielding and munching. You might therefore see an American pub-waitress/model or spokesman holding a symbolic cricket-bat ahead of a fun seasonal eatery-gathering on TV.



As a co-captain of the 'Foreign Irish Republican Army' (FIRA), we work to coordinate politics with life in sectarian (Catholic-Protestant) troubled area of the United Kingdom (Northern Ireland)! We work with iconography and insignias drawing in North American media-investors/figures so as to hype the 'mythos' or 'ethos' behind working life...and inter-religious color-books.



As a professor of the Ivy League, I kept correspondence of an executive of the 'Friends of Humanity' (FOH), a U-Chicago Irish-Catholic professor who happened to be a friend a major IRA-history storyteller/writer whose work made the shelves of quite a few Borders.



As a fan of world-sports, specifically cricket, I find nice political-application cohesion design-work in the 'idea' of sportsmanship as a reflection of globalism. I think about those nifty little 'bonds' between social storytelling, political imagination, inter-religious activity, and cricket's magic of teamwork. It makes the notion of politics seem all the more...dollar-intelligent.



As an Ivy League graduate, I consider myself a 'nerdist' of modern-era social cyber-fanfare surrounding inter-religious modeling.



The 1975 World Cup cricket championship single-day match/contest on 21 June (1975) took place in England and was a contest between the top competitor-quality nations Australia and West Indies, with West Indies batting first and pitching/bowling second.



Modern social activity is 'colored' by the 'fear' of global terrorism, and modern security forces are now assigned to deliver wondrous new globalism promises safeguarding the human joys of traffic and media.



West Indies defeated Australia in that iconic 1975 World Cup championship in a very close contest (291-274), with Australia just inching towards a momentum-rich final batting-run that was ultimately and quite-timely 'clipped' by the West Indies bowling-staff. This 291-274 West Indies triumph was a great symbol of the achievement of a non-European nation in the claim of a major international contest.



FAN: Wow, we thought the Aussies had what it took, but West Indies delivered with knockout batting early and timed pitch.



The modern world of media and entertainment and commerce and consumerism is often colored by new era challenges/tremors like blood-diamond piracy/smuggling, creating new forms of underworld crimes sullying the quality of globalism, something I work with as a 'scholar' in the United Kingdom!



We're holding a special UK fashion-show in honor of the upcoming World Cup cricket tourney hosted by England, and we'll be featuring outstanding presentations of youthful (e.g., 'Peter Pan') dolls-princesses.



FAN: Seeing the West Indies triumph in this era of radio-television made us all feel 'closer' to the notion of civilization!



I have a special Star Wars (USA) action-figure doll-set of Anakin Skywalker (Darth Vader) and R2D2 (A.I.) as my little image-toast to the modern splendor or wonder of media/commerce aged dollars and capitalism. Can't we find creative ways to forward social activity as a symbol or 'diadem' of anti-violence dogma?



When the West Indies captured that glorious World Cup title in 1975, people like me would go on to 'dream' about the very human nature of socialized activity in the developing new era of globalism thinking, and we can all say with relief that we want to put behind the dowry scars of Munich 1972!
