I got a free "sehwag" autographed tennis ball when my mom bought a packet of Boost from the supermarket last week. Was sitting simply on Sunday evening, with no power in the house, when I decided to hone my so called "cricket skills".
Took the "sehwag" ball and went to the terrace of my house for a little practice. Since I didn't have a bat or another fellaw to bowl at me, I decide to try my hands at bowling. As the wall on one side of the terrace was lengthy, I started bowling towards that end.
The first ball went shoom... to the paddy field next to my house!! It was a big bouncer u know! After running down and getting my "sehwag" ball back, I decided it's time for some batting practice. Took a broken furniture piece which was lying on the terrace, pumped the ball up in the air and shooom.... ball came down before I swung my bat!
Tried a lot, for nearly 30 minutes with this idea. Finally, closed my eyes and hit and voila, the ball flew past my house into my neighbor's water-tank which was open!
Smelling trouble, I quitely came down and forgot about my "sehwag" ball... Poor sehwag, he is still lying in that water-tank....
Ahem... The reason why I was practicing so hard was to show my cricketing skills (which btw is "abundant" in me) to my fellow colleagues in an intra-departmental cricket tournament starting tomorrow at our campus grounds...
PS: More details about the tournament will follow!
