My Cricket experience in Newcastle... plahing with brits in full whites, in a ground which is as good as MAC, chennai... if i immagine the way i played in chennai, with torn half trousers, dirty t-shirt, no shoes....oh my god!! lots of differnces...but i still like the street cricket that i played back in madras... those days are lovely!! tha passion we had for cricket and the aggression we had shown to win games is much higher!!!

Riding Mill... my first away match!

yesterday, we played cricket at a place called riding mill. it is a small village 30 miles north of newcastle.. it is a wonderful village in the valley with some amazing natural scenaries...
we bowled first and conceeded 184/3 runs in 40 overs.. i had a good day with ball giving away 27 runs in my 8 overs without a wicket.. first time in my life, i bowled 8 overs contneously... the temperature was pretty cold (12 degrees) with nice wind blowing all around... yateen bowled in the slog, took two wickets..his bowling figure is 4-0-32-2
i batted at number 7 since they had some men who didnt had batting practice... when i went in to bat, we needed 51 runs of 8 overs... i managed to make a quick 17 (of 12 balls 1X4)... after that, i slipped and fell very hard on the ground while attempting a run..and was run out...when we need 18 runs of 3 overs... was quite dissapointed with me for some time!!!
eventually, we lost the game by 6 runs... it was like 7 runs required of one ball... our guy hig a big shot, but was caught inches inside the square leg boundary.. pretty close match!!!
