Come on boys.. time for sports!!!

yeah guys .... now that the 11 was formed... its time to kick some err.... get into action... and play some sports... some one came up with the idea..lets play footbal in the beach *whoa!!! wow!!way to go!! we shal dig it!!* there was sparks flying high.. and every one instantly became beckam, zidane, and ...and..and hmmm yeah ganguly.....skreeeesh(*eeps..did i go over board by mentioning the latter....god bless me..slip of tongue..but does he not play footbal in the crease*) extreme high energy and every one was more than ready to get it started... finally some sporting action.... next day morning i get up with stary eyes jus thinkin that i wil get to move my lazy legs.... and what do i see!!! rains outside... goodness gracious!! and i hope i have dissapointed faces around me in the room... but alas...everyone is sleeping as if there is no tomo.... !@#$!@$@#!$ .. . what the f!@# ... i was the sucker who believed guys are very active and were gonna get up from their bed for some good neat play...
i become nostalgic....
hmmmm ......a small flashback about this sucker's sporting galore.....

its sunday morning... alarm rings at the right time....vision is clear... the focus is right...i have my milk.....some sun screen...sun glasses right up there in its position....shoes put on... there u have... a player.... now taking the bat, the professional cricketer is on his way to the lush green grounds to play the subtle game of ........hmmmm well..argh hmmm....street cricket....*!@#!@#!@ why the f!@# was that build up for?????? u might ask..... but then believe me i played that game as if we were playing in the lords... and apparently that ground was also lords of our area*

tennis ball cricket is amazing game... u got to play it to feel the thrill involved with that game..a group of around 15 people assemble for a light game of soft ball cricket *did i say light.. pardon me.... u must see it to beileve it.. bowlers abusing the batsman with the filthiest words...and fist fights happening for matters as small as....bowler was wearing yellow underwear while bowling... huh.. as if any other reason would bring about peace in the mass *
here is a group which flouts all the possible rules in the lawbooks of cricket...and players using sublime techniques of the game...whoosh check out this video of our ace batsman trying to hit the tennis ball... read the word trying... but the ball got the better of him












well if you think that was a sound technique shown by our batsmen .. then you are yet to see other set of players....we innovate new shots and play cricket as if it was tennis..he he he he....


check out the pavillion...





l to r: jacks guru..the dude with the sungls me..adi..santosh



and this is the trio:







again the banda...praveen..guru... bindaas players....

we break the glasses in the neighbourhood... i broke one with my fine leg glances and that is still a standing testimony....apparently.. that glass was not fixed and i also din pay for the same till the building was brought down.... amen...
imagine... all working guys coming on sundays in shorts... and we gang up to play like kids.... phew.. will never grow up...
long live street cricket.. long live smiling fox cricket club...
