Time to Pad Up

Me and Nadesh are both mad about Cricket. We can talk for an entire day about cricket alone. Yesterday, we were having a mail conversation about the Indian team selection for the world cup, when thought of we two writing a blog occurred to me. Though both of us are not prolific writers, we are mad lovers of the game and hence we decided give it a go.

You might ask whether we have proper merits to comment about the game, surely we have.

You know, Nadesh was the Rahul Dravid of our college team, the only thing which separated him from Dravid was a small thing called consistency. I will not say that he was not all consistent, he had the unusual knack of hitting the ball straight to a fielder even if there are many gaps in the field. I will stop pulling his legs, but whatever I said is true, because I had watched almost all his innings during college. Being the team manager, you know it is not advisable to skip matches. Hope, you have got the point, that I was the manager of my college team, if not, know it now. Actually, i was also initially in the team, but they soon discovered that I can't bat, bowl or field, hence they promoted me as the manager. That's a different story, lets not get into it.

So, what are we going to do here now?

It might be anything as serious as, Did Punter cross the line, when he was reacting to Sunny’s comments few days ago. Or it might be about the Bermuda skipper Irving Romaine’s comment “I'm hoping Tendulkar does not hit a catch to him because he will probably drop it to watch him bat” on Lionel Cann.

But its going to be Cricket, Cricket and Cricket.

Don't know how frequently we are going to write. Nadesh has a laptop and think he can write frequently than I.

It's time to pad up.

We are still having the problem of who is going to play the first ball of the innings. Lets wait and see who is going to start writing first.
