The Title says it all.! No Eden Gardens, No Chepauk can match the cricket we play here.! GULLY CRICKET re-defined.! But yea.! Wrote this blog to share some RIPPING experiences we've had in this MECCA of ours.!
Lol.! Okay let me get started.! What we(refers to myself and few of my other friends who live near by) started playing only as 4-5 members now has turned into something big.! Something real big involving 20 people.! :D
The excitement level reached its peak during the summer holidays.! We had people of varied characters coming and playing.! From Kaushal to Raghav , from Vishal to Robin, and from Barry to Vivek- We had them all coming here and playing.! And include some more people from my friend's class and my cousin who came for one day, the list is all but complete.!
Hm.! So this fine Saturday, we had too many people to cope into 2 teams even though there were loads of absentees.! So we decided to play a tri-series sort of a game.! Rules were simple..! Only 4 overs per team.! It was HIT OUT OR GET OUT..!
By logic, with all due respect to my team mates, we had the weakest team when compared to the other teams.! BUT HELL YEA.! PLAY WITH A WEAK TEAM, PLAY WITH PASSION.!
That's what we did exactly.! Myself, Kaushal, Raghav, Santanam(The one who made his debut that day..:D) and Vishal (who joined in late).. After loosing the first game, we were in a dire strait in a must win game.! With opponents needing 7 of the last over, i decided to bowl.! People in my team started to pray and stuff like that.! AND BOY.! First ball i bowled, WHAM.! Clean bowled..! (I aint self praising.! That's what happened..:| :D)
So yea , we were like taunting other teams saying: "WEAK TEAM, BUT WE MAKE THE FINALS.!" :D Such was the mood in our team.!
So finals it was.! We faced the team we lost to in the first match.! So REVENGE was in the cards.!
Santanam, who hadn't bowled a single ball uptil now was given an oppurtunity.! (It was only to experiment.) But Sam THALA.! Woov.! First ever Hat-Trick witnessed..! WHAT A MAN.! We were on CLOUD 9 already.!
Even then they managed a formidable total.! We knew it was tough.! But all was not well.! We were losing.! All seemed to happen in a flash.! We had only Raghav remaining.! No one else.!
6 runs off 4 balls.!
5 off 3..
4 off 2..!
And finally..3 off 1.!
The tension could have been cut with a knife.! Such was the tension.!
I had been running for Raghav till now.! But Kaushal said he wanted to run in the last ball.! People were shouting.! We were like- JUST RUN WHATEVER SH!? happens..! :D
Guess what happened ? Raghav edged..! Edged badly too..! First we thought it would only be a single run, then double, But before we could open our eyes, he ran three..! WE WON..!!
WOHOO..! WHAT CELEBRATIONS IT WAS THAT DAY..! :D SOMETIMES EDGES TOO WIN U MATCHES.. :D
Lol.! This in one of the few experiences we've had in this wonderful place.! Felt like sharing.!
