11th November 2011 : As soon as the Engineering days were over , I thought the Cricket Playing days were virtually over ! Thanks to Wyse , I can put to rest all such thoughts. The passion for the game was very much alive and bubbling , especially with India winning the World Cup and the IPL teams doing so well in Champions league. Watching the Malinga's and Tait's bowling super fast toe crushers and after watching the video :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjZdaVmz_kg
and also watching the frustrating defensive bowling by the Indian team in England. I always had an urge to bowl quick and attack the stumps. Hearing about the practice session yesterday from Anand , just went home and packed my track pants into the bag.
At about 3 Pm today .. Sajith opens the drawer and shows the box of tennis ball which was used last time the guys played .. This was it ! it set my adrenaline pumping ! .. Luckily, we had just finished releasing the build to SQA ! .. The pain of missing practice yesterday and the hunger to go out in the middle and bowl fast was unbelievable !...Slowly , the time Crawled to 4 PM , the GENTLE reminder from Sajith pooped up and soon we were in the car and soon out of it..ripping the kit bag off...getting the stumps in place ..batsmen wielding the bats and the bowlers rushing to their run up... and thus began the long awaited Practice Session of the day !
Had quite an eventful and pacy Practice session for about an hour , hour and an half ! With everybody getting their hands on to bowl and bat !... With small practice sessions being such fun and enjoyable ...can't imagine how good the bigger one tomorrow in the ground will be ...and how great the Match will turn out to be !
Even after the Match Days are over , hope we can continue the trend of playing the game , maybe in the evenings once or twice a week ! Would be great for fitness and also bonding of the Wyse'ans!
