It may not look like much if you have actually seen it, but its really fun to play in. =) The wicket is a bit slow, and the ball does kick up a lot, but heck, its a net. =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) TJC Cricket has a brilliant bowling line up! =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yea, let me try to say this the same way Andrew Miller will on cricinfo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TJC Cricket is led by a fine fast bowling quartet. Nikunj and Balaji open it with the new ball, and their distinct actions make them lethal. Nikunj, with his side arm action swings it away from the batsmen beating them with sheer pace, while balaji, with his new and improved bowling action, gets up to a decent pace while swinging it in. Vinoth the first change, just blows batsmen away. Any bat that gets on ball is due to sheer luck. =) Harish is the workhorse of the 4, and completely plugs one end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TJC also has access to 2 decent spinners, one off spinner Ashwin, who might not turn much but has good line and length, and Anantha who can get the ball to turn on glass. Not to forget, our bowling line up also includes an accurate lefty in the form of Devang.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yay. back to normal Raghav.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) TJC ALSO HAS A GOOD BATTING LINE UP&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's the probable  top 6 batsmen:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Raghav, Balaji, Anantha, Nikunj, Harish, Vinoth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nuff said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) TJC JUST OWNED VJC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Haha. sorry Victorian, couldnt help it. It was a good game for our boys, who played their hearts out against a lacklustre opponent who never really showed up today. playing on a really small pitch (BTSS, nuff said) VJ struggled to make 122 (mainly due to a lot of extra, the bowlers had a crappy run up). TJC then chased it down in 12 over, with Anantha going crazy and hitting 8 freaking 6ers. wth. I shall stop now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well thats all for now, our tournament starts next friday so ill update again then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheers!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32898273-3151184985933079417?l=bangedtheball.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bangedtheball.blogspot.com/feeds/3151184985933079417/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32898273&amp;postID=3151184985933079417' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32898273/posts/default/3151184985933079417'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32898273/posts/default/3151184985933079417'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bangedtheball.blogspot.com/2008/04/another-month-and-another-game.html' title='Another month and another game'/><author><name>Raghav</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08803192356636838684</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='06236084917294005539'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32898273.post-4064435496435453556</id><published>2008-03-01T23:18:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-03-01T23:30:58.468-08:00</updated><title type='text'>King Kshitij and the Knights of the Rectangular table</title><content type='html'>Heya!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well here's news from our friday training! Basically, the whole training was spent laughing like crazy because we officially have a NEW TEJAS RAO. Who's about 1/2 the size and twice the mouth. Yes. I AM TALKING ABOUT NACHIAPPAN, the new smallest guy in cricket. (photos will be uploaded ASAP)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well basically, he seems to have found a surefire way of keeping Anantha quiet, mainly by making fun of him non stop. Which is weird, because Anantha is so big, he can EAT him. =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Training was just as per normal, with bowling, batting, fielding, and Kshitij's crazy physical regime. The only scary thing was that our new WTHZOMGBBQ fast bowler Vinoth seemed intent on decapitating all the batsmen he bowled too. No seriously. Someone ought to stop him before he kills.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The PDP bonding dinner at KFC was damn fun too, with free flow of drinks and banter. We have officially christened ourselves as the order of The Rectangular Tables. Kshitij is our king! Here are some examples of our Knight names:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;nachi - Sir Laugh-a-lot&lt;br /&gt;balaji - Sir Hump-a-lot&lt;br /&gt;anantha - Sir Cock-a-lot&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and so on and so forth.

(btw, the next years exco will be selected tomorrow!!! =D)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our semi final was easily one of the best games that we have played all year round. Playing the tournament favourites, RJC, we were sent into bat. Although Nikunj lost his wicket quickly, decent partnerships allowed us to post a decent score of 109 (the first team to score more than a hundred against RJC!!!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our bowling was pretty good too, Bala took 3 quick wickets, to cause a bit of fluster amongst the RJC batsmen, but well, a good innings by Prem saved them the blushes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our third-fourth match was quite a different. We played very badly, (god knows why) and we were bowled out for 60, which the SAJC batsmen knocked off with ease.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But well, this long drawn out tournament is finally over!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TILL NEXT YEAR!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;cheers!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Raghav&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32898273-2690627881779917077?l=bangedtheball.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bangedtheball.blogspot.com/feeds/2690627881779917077/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32898273&amp;postID=2690627881779917077' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32898273/posts/default/2690627881779917077'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32898273/posts/default/2690627881779917077'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bangedtheball.blogspot.com/2007/07/tourny-is-finally-over.html' title='The TOURNY is finally OVER!'/><author><name>Raghav</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08803192356636838684</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='06236084917294005539'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32898273.post-5567592996732357985</id><published>2007-06-10T04:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-06-10T04:44:42.344-07:00</updated><title type='text'>BACK</title><content type='html'>Ok. the cricket blog is finally back. Sorry all readers, ive been really busy and stressed (until today =) ). Some people who read this blog will understand, others wont. (so sue me)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, basically this is a summary of what happened after the VJC game.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) We got our asses kicked by RJC.&lt;br /&gt;2) We got beaten in a rain sodden, nonsense match against ACS(I).&lt;br /&gt;3) We got beaten by SAJC, who decided to make a big ho-ha over a stupid rule, despite the fact         that they were easily, the better team that day.&lt;br /&gt;4) WE TRASHED NJC.&lt;br /&gt;5) The cricket boys who played for combined schools came is second.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would like to only further elaborate on point 4)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NJC game was one that was going to be a grudge match for the whole TJC team. So well, we chose to bowl first against them in a 30 over game. BALA, the player playing with the most fire that day, decided to turn it on, and took 7 astonishing wickets, including the one of their captain. (he bounced one up in the helmet to get him flustered, and blew him away the next ball =) ) After they were out for 36, it was just cleaning up, and Sanstav finished the game nicely with three 4s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that, we had so much time, that we even played 2 friendlies versus a team selected by Pramod. Here, ANANTHA decided that Bala had had too much fun, and went berserk. Four 6s, a few 4s, etc, you get the point. Basically we won the first one, and lost the second one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So stayed tuned for the Semis, and whatever comes after that!&lt;br /&gt;(btw, for those who care, we're playing RJC in the semis)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheers!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32898273-5567592996732357985?l=bangedtheball.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bangedtheball.blogspot.com/feeds/5567592996732357985/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32898273&amp;postID=5567592996732357985' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32898273/posts/default/5567592996732357985'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32898273/posts/default/5567592996732357985'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bangedtheball.blogspot.com/2007/06/back.html' title='BACK'/><author><name>Raghav</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08803192356636838684</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='06236084917294005539'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32898273.post-4426673076537606027</id><published>2007-04-30T05:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-30T06:04:54.136-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Second Game: TJC vs VJC</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Raghav's back, with the next game that TJC played, against our closest rivals VJC, in what ive have officially named, the Marine Parade Derby. The toss was won by TJC captain Bala, and we sent VJC in to bat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After some brilliant bowling from everyone, VJC were all out for 143. Some good bowling from the captain and Anantha packed them up. Then it was up to TJC to chase down 144 for the win.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TJC got an early scare when the top 3 collapsed for a combined score of 1. Yes. We had a bad day.&lt;br /&gt;But an amazing knock by Anantha (32 of like 16 balls!!!), followed by good middle order batting from Ishaan, Harish, Devang and Abhishek finished the game off for us. Harish played the Hero, holding one end firmly, playing a beautiful knock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So thats it, stay tuned for the next game, TJC vs RJC (the best school in Singapore.

How lucky can we get?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, on the brighter side of things, we've got new members! I  cannot remember all their names, so yea, once I get to know them, you all will have a special mention in the honourable TJC Cricket Blog. It is a very great honour only bestowed to those who, well, are associated with cricket in TJC. Speaking of which, do we have a cricket orientation kinda thingy? To get to know all the new members?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So well, the holidays are over. The year has started. More importantly, the season has started. We have much to do people. Lets get going and well, I really should not be saying this, but we have one particular JC to thrash this year. Hope you all know what JC that is. We will get into the semi-finals.

Decorated with retarded pics of pixelized stadiums and players.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not to mention, 4 BATS ON THE DAMN TABLE. (plus other stuff, helmet, keeper gloves, pads, etc.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then the cricketers came up with a brilliant (yet retarded) idea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We decided to have a driving ball hung up behind us. So out came Sanstavs yellow (thankfully normal smelling) sock, in went a cricket ball, and up it went over the metal chain that holds up the wierd tarp.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it was quite cool. Until a crazy girl came in and banged it so hard that the ball went up....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AND AROUND THE WOHLE THING.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes... so we were standing there like idiots with a ball stuck on top of the tarp.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Long story short, we got it down, and things were quite cool from then on. We did lose 4 tennis balls playing boundary cricket in the B Ball court, but guess no one cares...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So thats it from Raghav, stay tuned!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ciao!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32898273-116100621335988712?l=bangedtheball.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bangedtheball.blogspot.com/feeds/116100621335988712/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32898273&amp;postID=116100621335988712' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32898273/posts/default/116100621335988712'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32898273/posts/default/116100621335988712'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bangedtheball.blogspot.com/2006/10/open-house.html' title='Open House'/><author><name>Raghav</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08803192356636838684</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='06236084917294005539'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32898273.post-115768120243066194</id><published>2006-09-07T18:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-09-07T19:06:42.436-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8134/3604/1600/DSC00242.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8134/3604/320/DSC00242.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Cricket Team&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Top Row (From Left): Mr.Fazly, Ishaan, Siva, Bala, Sagar&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bottom Row (From Left): Raghav, Sanstav, Balaji, Girish&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ok as i promised, there will be no half naked pictures.

Anw, Sanstav can  you please send me the pics?  I'm gonna post them here. Okay maybe not me being half naked bt the others yea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmmm, oh yea, thank you to all year 2s. We're gonna miss you all and all the best for your 'A' levels. Ok that being said, I'm introducing the year end awards now. It will be a yearly tradition eh? Haha, here it goes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most inspiring performance:&lt;br /&gt;Anurag vs SAJC&lt;br /&gt;Smart batting put up a respectable score against the SAJC ppl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most brilliant tactical change:&lt;br /&gt;TJC vs VJC&lt;br /&gt;Rakesh sent in a couple of the tailenders first. Totally threw off those VJ ppl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best Catch:&lt;br /&gt;Nishanth&lt;br /&gt;His trademark 'crocodile's mouth' catch is one of the funniest catches to see, and yet, it works so who cares?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best Boundary&lt;br /&gt;Rakesh vs VJC&lt;br /&gt;The wonderfully timed shot flew all the way to the boundary, and past it. Nothing the Victorians could do about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, that's all I could come up with.&lt;br /&gt;For the finale, I'll be announcing the Best Player of the Year award. Stay tuned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Signing off,&lt;br /&gt;Balaji aka The G-Man&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S In training yesterday, Ishaan actually missed a ball which brushed past his hands and he shouted as if....he's been hit by Shoaib Malik cracker.

Sanstav was all padded up, and was looking in good touch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then the unthinkable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A typical Rakesh cracker of a damn ball swung right in, and clipped sanstav in the... um... um... for the lack of a better word, nuts. Despite wearing a ball guard, the ball seemed to have found a way through, and had injured sans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enter Shikhare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shikhare being the general i'm-a-nice-guy-but-a-brainless-idiot ran to find some form of assitance for sans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guess what the resident genius does.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HE BRINGS ICE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TO PUT ON THE... NUTS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EVEN THE POOR GUY WHO HAD BEEN INJURED (sans) COULDNT HELP BUT LAUGH.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Shikhare ensured himself of an IM THE IDIOT OF THE YEAR award.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Number 2.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This incident is the most all-rounded (literally) player of the team.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ishaan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was a nice Friday evening at Kallang, and we were having fielding practise, Long Catches.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So everyone runs in and catches, some drop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enter hero number 2, Ishaan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Ishaan comes in, Buddhika decides to be funny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;he lobs it high in the air, but is quite short in length. So Ishaan runs in his usual way towards the ball at full speed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, he misses the ball.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And barrels straight on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;INTO BUDDHIKA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ever wondered wat will happen if an eighteen wheeler hits a duck? Well, we found out.

Haha, this was sometime in the earlier parsts of the year when there was competitions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So first of all, we run one BIG round around the pitch. After everyone finishes, we realise that we are down by one person. We look all around the pitch just to see Ishaan near the sidescreen which is miles away from the end point, which is also the start point which incidentally...ok i should stop now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, we just shake our heads and go to do our usual stretching. Then our coach comes around to give us short catches. Here are the things that are sure to happen even if the world is flat and the sky falls down:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Ishaan will miss the ball at least 5 times and shout as if he had been hit by a Shoaib Malik cracker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Siva will get ultra hyper and horny&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Sansthav will go 'yep yep yep' and crash into the person standing next to him&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Balaji will catch all the balls given to him&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) Bala will do a slow-mo dive, shouting 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO' as he goes down to catch the ball, just to realise its going above him and he dived too early.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The above mentioned are just for the year ones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for the year twos, this is what will happen for long catches.:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Nishanth will do his special 'crocodile' style catch, which got me my 2nd wicket against VJC. Haha, thx dude!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Bharat runs in with his pants up to his belly button and cataches the ball...no wait he just dropped it. Arh well. (haha, joking only ah bro, no tension!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Anurak runs allll the way from the boundary with a straight poker face and catches the ball. Nothing much lah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Gwen Seng! Haha, he'll run in, then realise its going back, so run back, then stand below it and catch it, drop it, catch it again and drop it again. Ah seng lah that one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) Rao. Tejas Rao. He'll run in like a duck, put his hands out, and hopes the ball falls in. But hey, the odds were quite high. Like 1 in 100000000000000000000000000000000 only. No wait, in the words of mr goh, ONY.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6) Balasundram Sundrbalan. Rakesh. He'll jog if its too far, but catch it its just nice. Typical Shikare. No wait, typical Balasundram Sundrabala.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7) Here is the grand finale. Shikare. Tejas Shikare. Here's what happens. The typical Shikare of the genus DUMBO run towards a ball which is high in the air. He knows there's no one around him, and shouts MINE in a really high pitch. After which, he says that saliva was stuck in his throat. Sigh. Thus, if u ever come across this particular species, it is strongly advised that u steer clear of it, or it might just shout MINE into ur ear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hahaha, kk sry shikare, its all a joke. Please everyone, he is a good fella. Haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so ends episode one of the TJC cricket chronicles. Stay tuned for more of the mundane adventures of TJC Cricket Club.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Balaji aka the Great aka the FUTURE CAPTAIN aka mr hotness aka the shirtless one aka... ok, i'll stop now&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32898273-115608126612968068?l=bangedtheball.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bangedtheball.blogspot.com/feeds/115608126612968068/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32898273&amp;postID=115608126612968068' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32898273/posts/default/115608126612968068'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32898273/posts/default/115608126612968068'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bangedtheball.blogspot.com/2006/08/chronicles-of-tjc-cricket-episode-1.html' title='Chronicles of TJC Cricket Episode 1'/><author><name>Raghav</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08803192356636838684</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='06236084917294005539'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32898273.post-115582847763585425</id><published>2006-08-17T08:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-08-20T06:34:19.056-07:00</updated><title type='text'>First Post</title><content type='html'>Ok so our first blog is up.

Was quite fun... haha...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, we start the day like normal, with short fielding, then Sagar says, "lets play a little rubber ball cricket game... rules, NO BOUNDARIES... run!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So all of us break up into pairs... Me and Balaji form the second pair...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the first pair, Balakutty and Ishaan walk in... bala played quite well... but the ishaan ended up like the loser he was, ended up getting bowled by SIVA and GIRISH... everyone was like... ehhhh&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The the ownage partnership... RAGHAV and BALAJI. Both of us went in, and DIDN'T get out even once... final score 17 runs and that remained as the highest score... (btw, it was only 4 overs per pair)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing funny other than that happened... until the two coaches said they would like to bat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ouch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final score... 30++ runs in 4 overs...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ouch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that, the only funny thing that happened was during long catches... Sanstav being the NOOB that he is, threw the ball all the way across the field, OVER the keeper (i.e. ME) and over the damn fence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TWICE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well... thats all for training...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BTW LISTEN UP ALL J2 ex-cricketers!
