The guy with bat and ball had more than one life

The boy who has got bat usually didnt agree with his peers when i was bowled out. Its very commonsense that the play wont be continued if he runs away to his home with his bat. So everyone used to curse the boy who has got bat and used to let him play even when they have bowled him out. The guy who got the ball was given less priority because many of us cricket balls as thay are cheap compared to bats. This tendency of arguing with peers to bat agian was there, is there and wiil be there. Everyone likes batting more than bowling(thats team INDIA's batting lineup is very gud,contrast to bowling..LOL). The first ever playground where we played cricket was a temple courtyard in front of temple near my house. The balls were made up of plastics and rubber we used to play. I dont why but we used call rubber ball as KMS ball. Each team consisted of half of the number of people who had came to play, if anyone is extra then i was made as joker(used to get bat on both sides,no bowling was allowed). Probably this concept as its root in playing cards where we use joker , the card which can be placed with any cards. The distance between the wikcets was around 15-25 feets and that was called as short pitch cricket. Bowling was not allowed as they do in international cricket. The bowler has to stand and jsut throw the ball at the batsmen. Even though it looks simple to play this short pitch cricket , it get complicated when you just get into bat. Some many fielders will be there and some more restrictions will also be there. For eg: If the ball falls after certian marking then it was regarded as out. And even if the ball its the wall and catch by a fielder was considered as out. This cricket was going to the extreme conditions during summer and dasara holidays. In rainy season, cricket was played inside house that in hall or portico , that style of cricket was called was "pitch catch cricket", There will be around 5-7 feet distance between the bowler and batsmen, and 2-3 guys will be fielders. Wickets was not required for this pattern, the only way to get the batsmen out was by cacthing the ball which hasd pitched only once from the ground or a direct catch has to be taken. Lot of patience and tenacity is required play this pattern of cricket.
