BREAKAGE OF GLASS




It was my second weekend cricket. Everyone had already come to MES grounds, Jayanagar 4th Block. Then, we did practise for few hours. Then, the match started. As usual, Our team likes to chase and Srinidhi Adiga's ( Captain of LSI team, which won previous year's LSI Premier League) won the toss and chose to bat. They scored 85 runs in 10 overs. We could not chase it. We lost by 7 runs.
The second match, again Adigas team won and chose to bat, this time they scored 89 runs. It was a tough ask. Adiga ans Shashi, had played well. They had scored  many sixes and fours.  I and Nagesh were the opening batsmen this time. Again, it was lady luck. We got to a good initial start. I hit several sixes. One of them broke a house glass. We all pooled in and paid for that. I was feeling very uncomfortable in that situation. Pavan, and Adiga and many others went and spoke to the house owner. I was standing behind, little scared and was afraid also :) Then, the match continued, and shastry gave a wonderful standing. We finally chased 90 runs.

The third match, we changed the ball. Again, Adigas team batted. This time , they scored 94 runs. We doubted if we could chase that score. Shashi and Adiga and others played well again with several sixes and  fours. We came to know while we were batting that the ball was actually favourable for batting side. One of the six lead to a ball loss. We had to play with another ball. We chased 95 runs in 9.2 overs.

Then, We had a photo session, after the match. Hoping to play lots more in the coming days :)

  1. Man! That super "six" is stored in my memory and will be there forever. That reminded me my school and college days ! I would like to see more such 'glass braking sixes' no matter how costly they will turn out to be :-)
