Hilarious the Melbourne Cricket Ground played Kashmir during the epic final over. Such a crazy finish with drama that would be hard to match in any sport.

Dying laughing at the apparent trolling.

Did my due diligence and asked the internet: Melbourne Cricket Ground, T20, Kashmir. No luck though. Hopefully someone will come through with a vid because that’s just too rich.

India and Pakistan aren't fond of each other.

One of the places it comes to a head is in the disputed province of Kashmir. It's a gorgeous, mountainous region that is currently being disputed between India, Pakistan and China.

Until this recent unpleasantess in Ukraine, it was my personal pick for "most likely place for a nuclear war to break out".

So, playing Kashmir, the Led Zepplin song can be seen as an excellent troll by the Australians (who are hosting the match) to both sides.

(you may know the riff from Puff Daddy (as he was then) sampling it for the theme to 1998s Godzilla movie)

I mean this in the nicest possible way.

You need to go outside, and have a walk.

(This particular inanity actually took longer than I expected. Maybe people are maturing?)

My guy indian think kashmir is the state of their, indian states have different ethnicities, culture and language. Many indian states also have a trend of sub-nationalism or state nationalism. The problem of Indians isn't kashmir but the separatists i kashmir.

My guy, just MENTIONING Kashmir has trolled the hell out of you.

I didn't even mean to. All I was doing was pointing out that Kashmir is under dispute.

As long as you don't nuke anyone, I don't give the tiniest fuck what happens there. I find the entire thing incredibly stupid, everyone involved with it equally stupid, on all sides, and a complete and utter waste of time to even think about.

I have spared 2 minutes to type this out, but that's about as much as I care about it.
