Cricket-Net: Women of Dragon

A Story by Abishai100

A summer campus sports-game activity which is co-ed inspires a writer to think about the nature of American design!

A gender parable inspired by Working Girl.

An Algerian writer at Dartmouth was organizing a co-ed student cricket-sports league in the summertime and distributed special insignia-rings to all the members who'd been reciprocating the game-circle invitations.

The writer, Amlan, wanted to make a summer league for cricket at Dartmouth, a sport involving nice uniformed teams competing in a bat-and-ball game with bowling/pitching and fielding-defense and batting (while defending a stick-pole set called a wicket). Cricket requires a certain coordination of elegance and composure and wits and is therefore a nice sport which brings out our nifty fascination with socialized distancing.

The sisters of the KD-G sorority at Dartmouth were going to the Boston beach that summer but instead decided to cut their beach-time in half to participate in Amlan's summer cricket-sports league, intrigued by its 'co-ed' scope (since cricket is male-dominated purely!) and professional/handsome organizational features. Suddenly, there's a splash on the American college 'scene' regarding enjoyable co-ed activity promoting gender-equities. That's a cool summer, indeed!

AMLAN: I think I'll write some kind of movie-screenplay as an inspiration from this college triumph, maybe like Working Girl!

This is a standard and prototypical American writer and as he wrote his inspired movie-screenplay about this summer co-ed cricket sports-circle activity at Dartmouth, it'd inspire a satellite full novel titled Boys with Girls. It'd win Amlan the Pulitzer, and he'd wonder forever if the greatest feature of his nerdy mission that summer was really about his own 'sense' of socialized dancing.

FAN: It seems cricket's all about great posturing, and Amlan's Dartmouth co-ed league (and write-up) inspires dogma!

It seemed to Satan (Amlan), the Dartmouth writer, that all this co-ed activity would inspire in him serious 'deep thoughts' about the nature/quality of socialized/co-ed activity in academic environments which'd catalyze real intellectual ideas about what composes the complexity of democratic events in the West and why/how a game like 'cricket' would ward away the dark influence/presence of an antagonistic or adversarial Dragon which might suggest to us in fury, "Boys and girls can't intermingle...because of distancing."
