Please don't think this is self boasting, but today I played one of the best cricketing innings in my life. In the Peak Day Blues' Octagon Cricket Series, my team, Barcelona were up against a formidable opponent, Real Madrid.
We opted to bat first (detailed match analysis will follow later), and we were walking a tight rope. After a few wickets fell, it was time for me to show the boys and girls how "cood" a cricketer I am. Calling "Jai Bajrang Bali", I went into bat. Sathish N, the tricky spin bowler was ready to bowl at me with a vengeance. He bowled a googly at me which I hit straight off to mid off. Everyone cheered thinking it's a four, but a stupid fellow stopped it. Yes, I scoared 1 run!
Hari was at the other end. The next ball, he swept to the cover leg and we ran 3 runs. Man O Man, it's been years since I ran that hard! But what the heck, I added 3 more runs, by way of running and not getting run out, to our team's total.
I was gasping and facing the next ball, when Sathish N, with a wry smile on his face bowled another googly at me. I came down the pitch, trying for a sixer, but couldn't connect it to the middle of the bat. It struck the bottom of the bat and went straight into the bowler's hand! Dhatt theri ki, I cursed myself and walked back towards the "dressing room" for some well needed rest and water!!
PS: I went and bought one more boost packet to get another "sehwag ki ball". Will be back with for a big knock in the next match.
BTW, you can catch me limping in the module today!
