Now its cricket fever everywhere, cricket is not jsut a game in INDIA , its a religion here. This blog is just to remember the euphoric days when i started palying cricket(though i am not a gud cricket player from my childhood :--))).
If i remember we started palying cricket when i was in first standard. In those we used prepare a ball to play cricket, that was very easy coz we used to throw lot of sheets(pages) of book irrespective of its contents. Teachers use to scold for tearing the papers from notebooks but we never stopped tearing them, especially last pages were the victims of this noble deed!! . Collect some trash papers and crush it up in hands and cover the whole mass of paper crushed with a cover you find around and then knot it with a rubber band,just as simple as that. The hard bing of a notebook is our bat for the ball we preapared. After the ball and bat is ready we used to search for brick piece or a charcoal to draw wickets on the nearby wall. Batsmen side only we had wickets and on the bowlers side we used to keep a big stone or a brick.
Cricket doesnot needs too much of money to start as any other games which were came to india from exotic places.
