The way we play cricket
One pitch-one hand out.
Touch the ball, you get a run.
Hit directly on the wall, and you're out.
All these complicated rules caused lots of confusion and chaos in the cricket games we played today. We played almost 50 games, and the team I was in won the majority. I batted, bowled very well, and took a couple of great catches behind the stumps.
There's something common in the cricket Indians play - we all argue.
One classmate A (a Malayali) screams at the top of his voice when an opponent gets out. He'll also agrue endlessly on whether the ball touched the bat and then the leg or vice-versa. And then, there's U(Bengali) who says 'for-gods-sake' in every sentence he speaks and argues endlessly.
And of cos, there's a smart guy called Srinivas(Tamilian) who argues and argues and argues, specially if it's his wicket.
But at the end of the game, we're all friends again. That's the beauty of sport.
