Last week I played cricket in a ground near to my house. The very reason I am mentioning this is I played the cricket match in England and again English people. People working in various project formed a team (initial feeling is like seeing “Lagaan” team) and we played against a opponent who are players playing for small counties.
I thoroughly enjoyed the match and the entire match was played with extraordinary sportsmanship. End of the day “Cricket” is the winner. English people in the opponent team are really friendly and played with real spirit and sportsmanship. One player from my side (Infact captain of my side) got bowled in the very first ball and the opponent offered another chance to the player to play. They wanted everyone to play at least a ball.
That was really a excellent gesture and moved everyone of us. We won the toss and scored 209/9 in 40 over. Our innings has few rollercoaster rides like having good partnership and then sudden burst of wickets and then consolidation for sometime etc. I was playing this game after 2 years time and was not confident when I went to the middle to bat. After the initial jitter I was able to pick the line with some comfort and scored 20 runs.
I and another player consolidated the innings in the last few over and gave a solid partnership after a sudden fall of wickets in quick succession. Bowling in the turf was another new experience for me. I used to play for my college team and we usually play in the mat. Bowling in turf need lot more skill and tough when compared to bowling in mat.
End of the day the opponent team won the match comfortably in 30 over with 4 wickets to spare. We all enjoyed the game and had a nice time last weekend. We are planning to have matches like this in the future.
