My game - Cricket

Hello Folks,

Its been some time since i posted anything, past few months have seen a lot of activities ,work, home front, play...etc etc...

September was filled with cricket over the weekend. We had organised interdepartment games and everyone at work was exicted to participate,who does not want to from regular course of work. Adding to our exicement was cricket and we were scheduled to play our first match with the design team. If i remember it was close to one n half years since i had held a cricket bat. Gone are those days where we used to eagerly wait for the school to get over to play cricket. Still remeber those days when we played cricket in all forms

Leg Cricket
Book Cricket
Six n Four

We just wanted to play no matter with what, we played it with what ever possible.


The stage was set, we were scheduled to play the design team at 8.00 am which was the first match. The wait was long as the ground was occupied, finally the game began at quarter past 9.00am. Having won the toss we elected to field, having been out of cricket action for more than a year i had difficulties in finding my bolwing rythdm, With the team conceding more extras ( round about 60 0dd runs :)) design team managed to score 132 runs. With 15 overs it was a difficult ask. Having rested for about 15 minutes we began our innings. With the team confused on who should be opening i chose to stand forward. With the opening parter Janmajay the stage was set, I preferred to take srtike, having judged the first two balls i sent over the third delivery out of the fence....WOW what a way to open the scoreboard. Yes i was exicted ... see the action caught with the camera (amazing work with the photo). I was not alone, Janmajay started scoring as well,with the opening stand of 80 runs for 9 overs we were set for a win. I went a shot and was caught at long off, with a few quick wickets design team were back on game .... with 15 runs required from 18 balls the match turned out to be a thriller. But we managed to score 15 runs with 9 balls to spare. Good Win and equally exicted as we got to know we had got the walkover in the first match and were through to finals.:)



With having won the match, i was happy that i contributed to the win. A quite luch with all the team players had us depart to home. With over 18 hours of continous activity, sleep was calling. Reached home late in the afternoon and took a hot water shower and headed off to sleep. Oh what a day to end.....



A win surely brings a smile no matter in what.

Will be posting some photos soon
