The winning finally kicks off

I was up in Glastonbury to attend Raj's daughter 3rd year birthday anniversary party last Sunday. We were scheduled for a match against Cognizant later that day. Naugatuck was 40 miles west and I was hoping that we should start off by having to bat first. Yes, no-one was happy to stay outside on a 3-digit fahrenheit scale. We did win the toss and posted 98 on the board. Having them defeated by a margin of 20 runs, I must say that there is a lot to improve finally. I tend to think that cricket is the greatest thing GOD ever created on earth - certainly greater than sex, although sex isnt too bad either. Erik was right, its all about that fucking commitment.

IBM takes on GE

Desh was looking for his Lagaan 11 to play against GE this Sunday. So I drove this afternoon to Shelton to play for IBM which means I had to get up earlier than expected. Weather became perfect as we lost the toss and took the field. Some time later, it became hot and I was worn out on the field completely dehydrated. Opponents piled up a total of 65 runs in the allocated 15 overs.

Sadly, I couldnt open my account inspite of some powerful strokes and the wicket keeper took an excellent catch by jumping to his left and receiving the ball. We lost by a close margin but had a good exercise. Looking forward to a second round next week.

Wait and watch..
