We Indians are natural cricket players. All we need is something that resembles a bat ( a wooden plank/board/stick/ or a willow) and something that resembles a ball ( paper ball/rubber ball/tennis ball/ or any nut). Cricket flows in every one's blood. It starts in school level itself, even inside class rooms in the form of Book cricket. Those days, I was a good spinner. But as time went by, I started paying attention to writing and stopped playing cricket.
Last week, I decided to make a come-back to cricket. I went to the cricket field and saw some school kids playing cricket.They were around 10 years of age. I begged and pleaded with them to include me in their team. Finally they agreed when I told them that I would give them ten bucks each.
The game started.Our team went in first.Wickets fell down like nine pins. I went in as the 5th batsman. The little boy bowled like a devil. The first ball, I faced was a full toss that landed on my groin. I was on the ground. It took me some time to recover. The second ball was a bouncer that zoomed past me. The kids were laughing at me.I survived for ten balls and even scored two runs through a deflection. Finally I was run out. Our team finally made 86 runs in 15 overs.
It was our time to bowl and I knew that with my bowling skills, the opposition team would fall down like a pack of cards. I was asked to open the bowling attack. I ran up to bowl my leg-spinners. The first ball was smashed for a four. The second ball was hit back with brutal force and it reached the boundary too. The third ball was hooked for a six. That is when I decided to use my secret weapon -"The non-spinning ball". The fourth ball went for a six too.I didn't want to continue after such a humiliation.
PS: I dint give the ten bucks to the kids.The kids are roaming around my house these days. What should I do now?

me the first
ReplyDeleteBrother u r indeed a strike bowler...now what we can do to avoid them is:
ReplyDelete1)Lets complaint to Police that this is extortion;
2) Can lock the house and go to a different house;
3) Can write a letter to Obama asking him to save u;
4) Complaint to UN about this;
5) If nothing works as a lost resort...saashtaangama we will fall in their legs and seek mercy :P
P.S: I will send you my bill for the advice...
Nice hairstyle... Rockstar!!! Ekdum badhiya you look..
ReplyDeletekids are too fast these days. u need perfect pratise to compete with them

ReplyDeleten to the kids.....y do u cheat them yaar.....give them a chocolate..to them a rupee chocolate is more worth than a 10 rs note..!!!!
Krrrrrrrrrrr... thu!! First of all very nice performance in the field.. now not even paying up the kids as you promised them.. !!

ReplyDeleteNo wonder u didn't play cricket here. Tennis is easier than cricket uh? or is it less painful? :)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, Thank God u didn't play International cricket. You would looked like Inzy.
good luck over there...hope u had a nice journey.
I got a few ideas for you,
Do either of the following to the kids whom u played with......
1. pay them
2. Don't pay them
3. Stop worring, u arn't even in the your house
4. Play another match and promise you won't strike.
BTW, You bowl leg spin? I bowl Medium Fast Pace and can swing it either way and have a deadly slower ball.:)
Thnk god u didn't have to face me:(
Cheers
reminds me of politics in bengal :P
ReplyDeletehaha... ;) Kids u see...
ReplyDeleteAyyo! Seriyana strike bowler dhaan! :P I have an idea. Tell them that if you pay them this time, it would mean that you would play with them the next time too and not pay them anything then. They would go away on their own! ;)
ReplyDeletelol.. go out and have another match.. may god bless your soul :P
ReplyDeleteJaadhi kaara paiyan nee!!U are not alone....Even i've had so many cricket moments like this...
ReplyDeleteNow, you ve to first play cricket with my younger bro and talk the rest out. He is just nine and swings his bat like one experienced with the nuances. Superb batsman he, i shld say.
ReplyDeleteAnd dude, u got a cool hairstyle :P And i see transition with the pics, mean-the earlier one and the opnes u put up these days.
And you are born to be a politician. TRUST.
