Clubbing in London.

Yesterday I sort of started off on one of my favourite desires in life.. to be able to play cricket in a cricket playing nation other than india.

what better place to play in - than england.

the way they play the game is slightly different. be it the bowling strategy or the pace of the game.

its like a polite 'well played' and a cool 'good shot' now and then - from the opposition.

i scored 21 runs.. didnt get out.. played very much in a 'dravidish' mode. the pitch was quite dampish.. it was drizzling initially and so the outfield was a bit slippery.

went 3 down and stayed for a long long time. patiently holding up one end. I also realised that i had become a bit out of touch after joining IBM. so need to get some practice in.

also bowled a couple of overs - didnt get any wickets, but i was more happy with my bowling.. the line was quite good.

its all about being focused now. get into training sessions regularly and improve on some of the finer points.

a good start i would say. other than that, cooking as usual.

need to talk to my dad on some batting tips. comeon dad, show some enthu - learn to operate the computer and start replying to my blog.. :))
