Who plays Cricket ??

[CrimsonAvenger]

Well, here's my cricketing past: Used to play during school days, which is more than a decade ago now

Used to be a "medium pacer who could bat a bit" turned "number 3 batsman who could bowl a bit" turned "leggie who batted in middle order".

Used to be quite decent in technique, so school mates had nicknamed me "Dravid" (which actually meant I was slow compared to others in the team who used to clobber everything that came at them), but got more drawn towards the magic of legspin, thanks to watching a lot of Kumble and Paul Strang.

Some memorable moments:

1. Opened and carried the bat once, the team got bowled out for 33 . I was not out on 23.
2. Took 3 wickets in an over with medium pace.
3. Hit 3 sixes in a row while batting and took a stunner of a return catch ( ) while bowling legspin in the same match.

Memories...

I only ever used to play socially but my bowling generally resembled that of the former New Zealand player Chris Harris - (dibbly dobbly's as we called it in New Zealand). My batting however was completely different - I tended to try and bat like Shahid Afridi and smash every delivery for six. I would normally get out for hitting the ball over the fence and losing it. My favourite fielding position was whwerever the batsmen could hear my sledging the best.

I tried to bowl leg spin at one point. And i modelled my action on Paul Strang. Its a complex art to master i must say
