i used to play cricket at school level. many considered me as the second best batsmen in school. i used to love playing cricket. i could die for it. i still remember each and every minute detail of ma 54 from 25 innings after my eleventh exam. i was up against two quick bowlers. the 2nd nd 3rd best bowlers in ma school. i still remember each and every shot i played. how i made them think. every shot i ever dreamt of playing was mine dt day. the way i got was the funniest part of the match. i was the best captain in ma skool.ma winnin percentage was 90plus. i made really awkward decissions.but it used t work fr me.i never used to win the toss. out of some 20 or 30 would have won only 2 or 3. bt the bowling changes and field placmnt i made was really cool. i loved ma captaincy.
but those days are gone now.
i played cricket with that same passion recently, against b section. i was not out. score 7 of some 4overs i faced. all the blame on me for the lose. i take it. i dint tell anyone, but i know why exactly i was in such a patheic form. i was holding a bat after 2 years break. i was playing with a tennis cosco, as light as a paper, for the first time in my life. i used to play with hard balls. i like it when it hit ma bat hard and fast. i couldnt adjst. i tried bt i cudnt.
bt dt ws it. ppl wnt undrstnd. i was dropped from the criket triangular between a,b,c section. i am not sad coz i was dropped, it hurt me coz i play better than 90% of people who wer in the squad. i decided that day, that there are few people who i must show what i am capable of. i will let ma cricket do the talkin. there are two things i look forward to do when i join a company. join a gym again. and play criket regularly...
my hard luck with criket
when i was in school, i used to play good criket..i mentioned it earlier. i wanted to play regionals badly. in 10th i decided to go for the selection. the day i still remember, selection after school. our P.T sir gv the responsibility to a guy in 11th.anupam. ma bad luk. had a fite with him dt aftrnoon only. i was innocent.sm misunderstandin. he dnt even gv me a chance.i stood der waitin nd waitin till all left. no criket ds time AJ. but i dnt lose hope. quikly went to the T.T selection a week later. won frst prize at school and went to the regionals. i felt as if i gav a good answer to anupam. 11th standard. we had an official coach. he had to select the team. i was selected. phew. i cant rite it in words. bt i was damn happy. few days later i heard princi ordered dt no 11th guys could go for criket. we had to study. i went nd begged. no use. a week later basket ball team ws announced. 5 12 std students and 5 frm 11th. jale pe namak chidakna kise kehte he i undrstud dat day. i won interhouse criket dt year.bad luk no t.t matches wer condcted.
